1983 Mercedes Benz W123 280CE Restoration | Part 2 | Stripping Parts

Build an exact replica of the legendary Fast & Furious Dodge Charger R/T from FanHome by visiting this link: https://bit.ly/restore_it And use code 'RESTOREIT' to become an early bird, get a free F&F tee and cap and pay only 99p for the first instalment!

In this episode of Restore It, James and I begin the dismantling of the MB W123 to prepare it for paint, re-chroming and bodywork.

I'm sure some of you are thinking I'm taking on too much at once. But don't worry, I'm in the process of finding help in the workshop. So if you are interested in working at Restore It, please email me at joinrestoreit@gmail.com, thanks!
