1994 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Description

I have a W124 1994 E500 with 132k original miles, that I originally bought as a restoration project. All of the mechanical on the car was just replaced or rebuild. Including things such wiring harness, engine and transmission mounts, timing was readjusted to factory specs and much much more. It runs and drives like a new car. All the work was performed in 3 very reputable bay area shops: Mercedes of San Francisco, Erotech and Stance Lab. For the total amount of over $16K (I have receipts to prove it) major parts including:
-Steering gearbox
-Steering damper
-Tie rod assembly all
-Gasket sealer reinzosil
-Valve cover gasket
-AT filter
-AT pan gasket
-Auto trans fluid
-Engine harness
-Ignition wire set
-Distributor cap x2
-Distributor rotor
-Wire harness to starter
-Radiator plastic tank
-Battery
-Water pump
-Thermostat kit
-Hood pad
-Coolant tank reservoir
-Rear main seal
-Transmission mounts
-Engine mounts
-Crankshaft sensor
-EGR valve
-Distributor cap bracket
-Fresh paint respray (the cars clear coat was pealing in some areas (I hve before photos) paint is 8 out of 10.
-Interior was resprayed and all cracks fixed (I have before photos)
-Two piece Mercedes OEM Staggered wheels that were professionally restored
-New tires
-Aftermarket muffler
-Fresh oil change
-Break fluid flush
I have the air vent cover that I had to order from Germany and have it painted (not installed don't want to loose it, it cost me about $350 to order and paint it)
And of course all the houses, fluids, screws,nuts, rubbers, cabin air filter, spark plugs, wiper blades and all the other small little things. Plus the labor to replace all of these parts. Car sold as-is.
The Not So GOOD:
-One of the rear hydraulic shocks needs to be replaced or rebuild (makes knocking noise when you hit bumps)
-Headliner need to be replaced/repaired (see photo)-Turn signals on the dash are not blinking (the actual lights) but they do work on the outside of the car.-The speakers and the radio are original on the car and are showing the age. They still work but the quality of sound is not the greatest.
The most difficult stuff on this car was done and took 3 very reputable shops a period of 3 years to complete.
