450SEL Hood Pad replacement

Okay fair enough.

Considering the asking price the 450 might be on the market for sometime and just the same for almandine 300SE for sale as well?

A $3K banger would cost way more than the asking to restore to that apparent standard.

Only taken me 7 years.

David, Timmy was kind enough to send me a You Tube link to this car being sold by the "Classic" car dealer that's situated at Marrickville. I will say that the car appears to be in exceptional condition, but somehow I get the feeling that I can't trust the guy that's featured in the video. Too smooth, too whatever.....I just don't know. Maybe Des' experience purchasing a 6.9 back when keeps on rearing it ugly head - he certainly did not do well with his purchase from that organization at that time. It was a troublesome car, sold with a RWC that smacked of certain issues.

As you say, a "good" under bonnet insulation pad, but even there, if you have a good look, it is not a good fit. Also noticed the passenger door board which seems to be devoid of the foam lining - an oft encountered problem. Regards. Styria
