Thanks so much for checking out my channel. Here you will see " Young Timer Cars " A common term used in Germanic car culture, a Young timer is a well kept car that is of the age between 20-30 years old. These are usually future classics/limited production imports to foreign countries, most commonly associated with European built vehicles. We like to bring these cars back to being road worthy ! From barn finds, to garage finds we love searching and finding rare cars. You can look forward to seeing mechanical repairs to interior details. Please ask questions and comment.

Auto y trabajo magníficos
Jedno z nejhezčích aut jake kdy byly vyrobeny.👍
What are the tire sizes please
Thanks for the very long video. What a production! It’s amazing to see how involved this is. I *think* mine were done by the previous owner, so fingers crossed I don’t get stuck with this painful job anytime soon.
Great video. What is your budget for this car restore?
I didnt really set a budget but definitely a lot lol
How much money are you spending on this car dude?? $1,000 a week???
Haha you can say that . Car is sold though
Nice
Most fucked up thing about these SLs . I want my 560 back
That was a lotta work but you did it! I would have to pay to get that done on my SL63. Just ordered the latch assembly for the trunk as having issues with “trunk not closed.” Could have tried gluing the plastic cracks causing air leaks but not taking any chances and hopefully will be good for another 10 years now. Thanks for the video!
These Mercedes hydro systems are a nightmare to work on. We would have customers come in with their car interiors covered in hydraulic fluid. It was a mess. And the costs to repair? You don’t want to know😏
Haha yup not bad once you get into it . Do I want to do it again ,no lol
What body kit is this!!
Great Video! I am a R129 Owner here in Naples, FL!
Much better with this headlights! Question: is it an original Amg bodykit or replica? If so, which one? thanks
Thanks for the video. This is something I need to do on my SL as well...
These R129s, and the other Mercedes convertibles of the era through now, are magnificent pain in the butt money holes unless you can work on them yourself. When one of cylinder goes, just replace them all and know the pump is next. Don't die by death of a thousand cuts. Also the microswitches. Then in the next generation of Mercedes cars, you have to deal with the ABC systems and more annoyingly, cheap little plastic pieces that break, like a $1 part on the rear windows that you have to take the interior apart to get to. They saved $10 per car not using aluminum and cost every owner $3K in replacement work every few years. I see a beautiful low mileage 1994 SL600 near me with of course a bad wiring harness from that mess from the awful ones they had through those years.
Score!
Hey mate, on what point did you place the jack to jack up the rear?
Well would ya look at that!
Thay are only 5.000 miles apart. I live in Brazil.
Gorgeous!! I am almost finishing my 1995. Same color same wheels. It is practically identical cars. May I ask your tire setup? Sizes front and rear?
How much are you selling it for
The car is going to be on Thembmarket for auction .
The real McCoy!!!!🎉
does wiring harness of E500 the same of wiring harness of E420?
I like the smaller YT channels like this. Well done man! New subscriber!
Thanks bro appreciate it !
Probably a little bit quicker now. For real, looks awesome! 💪🏼💪🏼
You know it lol
Sure looks great! (That was some FAST buffing, too!) 😀 Will the ceramic coating do anything to prevent fading? I’ve never been a huge fan of yellow because it always seems to end up looking bad.
Hey ya haha 3 hours of buffing wouldnt be fun to watch lol the ceramic coat def will help prevent fading faster .
Looks sweaty slick
Looks great!
Just ordered for my 300SL with M104.980 a new bosch cap, rotor, plugs, ignition coil, and (non-oem spark plug wires). Looking to refresh the engine like yours. Are you planning to remove that emissions air pump? Mine makes some noise also when engine cold.. i dream of adding a comptech turbo one day and that would have to go. Anyway, keep up the good work.
art on wheels...
I much prefer the Italvolanti era but these are cool too!
Is that an M104 on a C126?
Yes pretty rare they only had these for a year or two I believe.
@youngtimersgarage nice man. Ihave a 300SL with m104 CIS injection like yours.. I think there's room for a nice compturbo in future. Im in Orlando FL area, where are you located?
@@AndyTranfl ya there def is . Chicago Suburbs
@@youngtimersgaragethis is a c124
This guy can date any of my Daughter's
Hey Mark great vid!
Great video!! The window tint needs to go
how do you solve the airbag light problem?
Being that these cars are over 30 years old the airbag most likely doesnt work either way. You can either remove the srs bulb or leave it. Mercedes recommends replacing airbags every 10 years I believe .
@@youngtimersgarage not true. the 10 year recommendation was for older cars prior to r129 and your airbag does still work. also it might be illegal to drive this car with no airbag in your state.
Not true , Mercedes-Benz used to recommend replacing airbags in their cars after 15 years, but in 2002, research showed that airbags installed in cars built after 1992 should last the lifetime of the vehicle. However, regular maintenance and inspections are still important to ensure airbags are in good condition. This isnt my daily so im not worried about it, either way I have my original wheel back in the car.
I think I like the original wheel better. It suits the car. I saw very little of what you did since the camera was at an odd angle when you did the hood pad and you were in front of the camera for most of the rest of the video! 😮😂😅😂😅😂
Just smoothing out the pad so the adhesive sticks . Had to run over it with my hands and a smooth plastic piece
Go with that AMG wheel, looks great. Too much wood isn't a good thing, in this case lol.
I’d restore the original steering wheel and put it back. You’re definitely worth having an airbag if you ever get in an accident! Who would you recommend for steering wheel restorations?
Those airbags expired 30 years ago.
Ive used stitch girl for leather wheels
@@youngtimersgarage Thank you!
Old airbags before 92 are no good anymore
Momo wheel and hopefully some Recaro C seats :) Very nice!!
I say go with the new wheel.
fix the original wheel and put back in. that new wheel is out of character with the car.
Sticking with the oem AMG one
@@youngtimersgarage well if the AMG one was OEM then you wouldn't have airbags fitted therefore its not OEM.
That's a 300-24 with a body kit, nothing to do with the hammer, or the Baby hammer which is a 190e 3.2 or 3.4
Its a 300CE AMG Westmont build done for Ozzie Guillen verified by the former president of AMG of Westmont. I call it the Baby Hammer because it does not have the 6 litre but looks identical to the Hammers which also came in a 4 door and a widebody coupe. If you do some research on what was considered an AMG car in the premerger era you would know this is an AMG . Thanks for watching !
@@youngtimersgarage well aware of what a pre merger car is, and that isn't one. A "build" is more than bonding on a body kit, it doesn't have anything AMG about it other than that.
@@professorjamesmoriarty5191its ok to be wrong. I have people that worked for AMG that can tell you otherwise.
Greetings from Yogi’s Garage! Good video man! I'm just now tearing into my 2005 Turbo S and had planned on inspecting my setup "while i'm in there". I've done this many times on my Carrera and while this is similar it has a few extra steps to get to the plugs. Great color on yours too! ✌🏼
Hey thanks for watching ya overall pretty doable but a few extra steps !
Dream spec. Speed Yellow & BBS Rims.
Take that bottom bolt loose from the bottom avoiding the brake line
I swapped out the brake hoses so had to remove it all the way
I commented to soon lol
Beautiful. I am jealous, very jealous.
Does the part also work on the 2.6?
Looks nice 😊
