Got na my 126 and having it re-upholstered first before I use it. I also changed shocks and some other suspension parts. Will post pics pag tapos na.

Lapit na matapos re-upholster ko. Next gastos exterior naman. Anyone knows where I can get the rear jack cover for W126?

Project cost
Leather interior = 48k
Suspension = 10k including front shocks Bilstein
Belt tensioner, Belt = 4k yata
Thermostat, thermostatic switch = 1.5k
Transmission gasket, Gearbox repair kit = 3k
Door Breaks = 2.2k
Change oil, ATF, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, fuel pump = 10k approx

Di pa ako nagpa exterior detailing. Next time na lang yun. Had the option to go for seatcovers but decided on the leather upholstery kasi tagal ko na gusto magka real leather seats.

Actually, the brand of paint that will be used in repainting your w126 is not that important, ang importante yung makuha yung orig na kulay. Kung sa shop naman na gumagawa ng Benz, I highly recommend Manhattan Motors in Pasig, ok sila gumawa ng Benz whether sa pag-repaint o mechanicals. Madali pa kausap yung may-ari.

How about the Sunshine Motors at Scout Borrromeo at QC, have you tried there?

Had a camber and wheel alignment on my W126 but after the job, the car was still going right. The alignment done was front only kasi sabi ng mechanic, wala daw adjustment ng toe sa likod. Is that accurate?
Also, may added/special procedure ba to align a 126 or just the same as other Jap cars?

Sunshine is not really known for body repair and painting. Their main specialty is the mechanical aspect of a Benz.
