- Mike gives Edd the task of converting a Mercedes 500 SEC into a top performing AMG motor. However, with carbon deposits all over the valves of the engine and air leaking past the fuel injection seals Edd may have his work cut of him.

One of the best conversions, the Merc looks and sounds amazing.
Edd is an artist! That’s pure automotive art!
I wanted to see how the car looked like complete 😡😡😡

Edd, you are amazing!! It's incredible what you can do and really nice to see you working!
But.... where is the rest of the video?! I want to see how this ended up :)
Decarbonising works so well I highly recommend it! Made my e46 325i engine feel BRAND NEW. It now runs 207 BHP after remap and decarb in the same week :-)
This video reminds me of my high school days.....Almost there !!!.......Then her parents came home 😞
I dad own this car since the 80s and he still have it. A very beautiful can and really rare especially in Thailand where he have it.
My favorite episode since I own a black on black euro 500 SEC. Of course mine has not been given an AMG tribute upgrade! :-) The next time I need brake work I will likely upgrade to 560SEC rotors and calipers (plus ceramic pads to eliminate the horrendous brake dust caking my BBS wheels). I'll also do a custom exhaust at some point and possibly a tasteful sound system upgrade. That's enough for me. I love the original look. These are amazing rides.
The next model, the 560SEC was the last real Mercedes as far as I'm concerned.
124 and 126 were the pinnacle . Downhill all the way since then . Very sad .
@@neilrafferty2097 What about the 140??
Plane J . Probably had the quality but lacked elegance .
@@planej6315 Superior in ride quality, handling and comfort. 100%. But also nightmares to maintain and that is the difference. if you have very deep pockets they are awesome. Frankly, I believe a well sorted w140 V8 coupe is about as well oiled a machine as one can find and drive better than modern equivalents. But how many of them are left? Most are driven into the ground.
I myself have an 85 euro 500 SEC. The fact that they are much simpler makes life easier for me. :-)

that mercedes is literally my best of Eds works of art
I'm guessing, that this series, was the last series, for these two. I'm a hit and miss viewer, but I can see why ED got pissed off by the new company's switch in ideas. Ed's great value was in his detailed work, and description of how, and why, he was doing what he was a doing. Mouthy Mike, while doing a reasonable job of working on the cars etc. and doing some pre--repairs and extra hunting for parts, it really did steel a lot of Eds camera time. Which he said, was why he called time on the show. Also, the fact that they had moved to California , while having some benefits. like great engineering company's to hand, with very high tech tools and machines etc it just wasn't quite the same as being in Britain, especially with price evaluations. Having watched a US car repair show where they do dream changes for rich people, it doesn't show much of how they actually achieved their undoubted high standard of work. SO no involvement for the viewer, and THIS, is the style that the new Wheeler Dealer's is going, not good..e.g Rich guy comes in, states he wants a very costly job done, he's told it will cost a zillion, he says ok. next day, amazing transformation is already done, gasps of amazement--, the end. Not for me.
Philip Croft:
UK and Europe are too damn expensive to shoot-in....That's what Socialism gets you with Unions and Government Bureaucracy all wanting a piece of the action. It's why Southern California,Georgia,etc. are the must places for Television and Film Production Teams......maximize your return.
@@dmcnamara9859 How much does it cost to shoot in the UK versus the US?
BlagoP :
Much less... a simple and inexpensive Business Permit (usually) and haggle for a time-specific film Permit (some go annually.) With that Permit, you can usually any Public Land as your "set". And if your doing an Indie like Project free of Trade Unions....your costs beyond Camera/Recording Equipment; always rented by the Electronic Tech Companies that own them and supervise their operation.
UK and Europe, the Government and Trade Unions demand to have every piece of the action.....remember, with some exceptions, television and film productions are a bet....most will just break-even....few end-up being cash cows.
@@dmcnamara9859 Much less? How much less, what are the numbers and what are your sources?
BlagoP:
I've worked in the Industry.Take for example, the rental of a Digital/Film Camera..........your looking at $ $50,000-100,000+ for a week(depending on the time of year and the Camera Companies schedule)...that does not include Film or data storage and retrieval fee for Digital. It's a business where you pay 1st....no IOUs period.
A film(time limited) Permit can cost as little as a couple hundred dollars in rural Counties. And you may or may not be required to purchase a business Permit $100.00-$500.00. Bigger Cities/Metro-Counties with greedy Politicians and Bureaucrats...then your looking at thousands of dollars(many times $100,000+)...but you will get to use law enforcement to close off roads and areas,etc. for that kind of dough.
The painting wasn’t bad and Eddy just cut though it lol
I managed to record this as I absolutely am a huge fan of AMG
Brilliant Edd, where is the rest of this video, pleaaaase.
Great video, but please upload the entire show, so we can see all the process!

Matthias Maas can’t stand the new series I only watched it to see Ed working on cars 😓
Two great mechanics
Even in 1988, the the 560sec was only 68k, not 130k in the US.
Wow wow WOW, you cant just put this up here just like that and not have it all! Where's the rest!
Imagine a 63 AMG engine in it
I'd love to do an AMG conversion on my 560SEC as well...
It's gonna cost a whee bit of cash. ;)
We want part 2,come on!
I own the original 2007 S65 AMG, I'm not on board people chopping the AMG name? Thanks!
Great Guy and awesome mechanic
Ed China

Waar blijft deel twee
Legendary car
what on earth is Mike talking about...=?A tribute to BMG? "laughs :) Love Eds work though :)
He said AMG...
stunning video !!
Love this car, Edd👋🐹
Great video. Love the idea. I have a stock 91 560SEC and am very interested in getting my car improved in performance as it done here. Any recommendations on how do get this done by a real expert like Edd is appreciated. Perhaps Edd's contact info would be a good start? Thanks.
is ed back!!! hooray
amazing video im a fan for life
I've got a 560sel i am planning to paint black on black with engine modifications. It will just be a black 560 though not an AMG tribute.
This is a real classic car
Beautiful design and very reliable engines and body kit.
It’s a Benz for god sake
Where’s the rest of the vid?
I really miss Ed on WDs. Nothing against Ant, but Ed had something extra that I can't quite put my finger on.
Is there a way you can show me how to replace the entire front Suspension on my 05 c230 kompresor
Buy a Servicebook from "Haynes". I think they have two over W203.
5:05 it is sacrilege. But when its under the hands of god (Edd) then we know the job is gonna be 120%.
So where's part 2?
UPPER BALLJOINT LOOK BRAND NEW EDD xD
Please upload the Full Video
How about pumping W124 th body
Where is the rest of the video.....
10000 dislike.
Brewer was like exhaust fumes stale and smelly n lacking no go as for .ed China quite simply a talented genius at his best 👍🙂😁👍
What was the track they took this car too?
FO Brewer, will Priestly be next? Ant still hasn't seen the light
does anyone know how much it would cost to if i took my 5oo sec into the shop and got all this done?
Wouldnt the 560 SEC be more expensive ehhh
The 560 SEC didn't exist in 1983, i don't think the M117 engine even existed until 1986.
@@archygrey9093 that makes sense.
What about bass line at 6:30?
does anyone know where one might see the rest of this transformation?

Buying the complete car for the price of those 2 used euro style headlights.
I just paid a grand for a mint pair.
did i hear the word penis at 5.49?????
Ed is the best
6:52 Welding with rubber gloves on? No, no...no good...
why?
The Mercedes 560 sec was the most expensive back in the 80's, except for the AMG's ofc..
He said most expensive in 1983. The 560 came out in 1986
@@TheHotshox my bad 😊

Is Edd back with WD?
is this caliper from w140 rears ?
Do not throw way the old parts because new one will break soon
I love these cars timeless design or maybe just bc of my age this was the first car I ever noticed as a child that made me do a double take I had every magazine and article on it god I was lame 😂😂
E39 m5 episode please
Edd china, 👌🏽 ze man iz a legend
I love Wheeler Dealers, but the 13th Season was the worst by miles. A lot of speaking and not a single explanation about how to do things, and why would you want an AMG lookalike Mercedes instead of buying a proper AMG?
Because buying one of these is nearly impossible now, even if you have an unlimited bank account they're very hard to find. And once they are found they demand a very high price, one sold recently in Europe for €235,000 at auction
Because a real 560SEC wide body is $150k
The suits thought the fat guy was more important than Ed. Idiots. As for the AMG thing, do you know what a real one costs?! I thought not.
I myself have a Euro grey market 500SEC with 108k miles I bought from the original owner. These cars are just fantastic. But I won't convert it to an AMG clone. I prefer the stock look.
It's still a beast
I understand you all and yes, the car they did here was still very good, but mostly I'm talking about how the 13th season missed the point: Wheeler Dealers in my opinion is about learning how to fix the basic issues of your classic car by yourself. This is nothing like that. This is a work for expert mechanics, expert coachbuilders and expert parts finders (the AMG panels), and they don't explain you well enough how to do it.
They should have bought a 560SEC already converted to widebody with some issues and show how to fix that, in my opinion.
They made $6000.
$6000
80 hrs. work
How much is the shop time??
The guy who did the work has to get paid.
With his skills he has to be worth $60 an hour. $60 x 80 hrs. = $4,800
$6,000 - $4,800 = $1,200 profit before deducting his time to purchase, test drive and sell the car ( because time is money) so let's say $200 for his time. That comes to approx. $1,000 profit???
In maybe minimum of 3 weeks, from time he left to originally purchase the car till he cashed a check. AND HE GOT THAT EXCITED ABOUT WHAT????
Oops, forgot. It was painted. So it was at a paint shop a couple weeks.
Good thing he is making money being on the show
Sorry mate but I would never do this to my "88 560SEC, It cost me a bit more than yours. Good job but.
where to find these suspension parts ?
