    TH-cam recommended your video to me (first time I have watched your channel) and it was such a beautiful experience from start to finish. The love you both have between father and son, and it's very clear to see that your workforce are a 'family' as well. The MB 450SEL is one of my most favourite cars, I'm not sure if it is the 6.9 version, as that is my ultimate dream car to own some day :) When I get mine, and I need it restoring, I'll be giving you guys a call :) PS - fantastic work by the videographer and the choice of music was perfect as well. I give you all 15 out of 10!!!

    If I won the lottery, I would not go on a crazy holiday, would not buy fancy clothes or gadgets, or buy an obscene mansion. I would buy a classic car (most likely a Mercedes Benz R129 SL600) and send it Alcala Technology to lovingly restore no expense spared. That was absolutely stunning to watch, you’ve essential made that car like “new”. You are preserving history. Well done!

    Restorations to this level are actually much more work than the original car production where parts are picked & fitted. Restorations require all the parts removed, cleaned, repaired, repainted, reupholstered, rewired, replaced then refitted. It’s a labour of love.

      Well, you might stop brushing rusted parts and get some decent sandblasting equipment. Because that looks a bit unprofessional.

    • @alcalatechnology
      @alcalatechnology  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      For your knowledge, sandblasting is removing/deforming the surface of the part that you are restoring, and giving a really ugly shape to the metal.
      Of course, for those who want to earn money for it and make it quick, paint on tom and maybe noone will know the status of it, is correct. NOT for us.

      @@alcalatechnology I was not talking about doors and bonnets, there it's surely not the right procedure. But for suspension parts or for example the brake disc back covers that doesn't really matter. And there, if you're just brushing them, you still have small rust nests in small cavities which are not being removed and lead to new rust pretty soon. From my experience...

    I think what struck me the most is that although it's an old car (maybe 1979,1980?), the cleanliness of your workshop - not just clean, GLEAMING - and the quiet, efficient, experienced, technicians with all the right tools and equipment and a lot of know how - plus quite evidently a SUPER well organised plan/process - not to mention the movie level quality of videography and editing - gave the whole thing an almost surreal feel of a team of surgeons operating on a magnificent old beast on the edge of extinction. And that bit by bit, his life signs stabilise until eventually he emerges not just with a new heart and new knees, but also a nose job, tummy tuck, skin peel, hair transplant, eye lift and teeth polished - as well as a full day at the spa being oiled, massaged and moisturised, nose hairs and eyebrows tidied, mani/pedi, shaved (in places where you both can - and can't - see!) - and sent out into the world with a clean bill of health and a haircut, new suit, shoes, spectacles and watch😂❤

      Its Mercedes DB904, "dunkel blau" or "dark blue." Petrol blue was used by Porsche and is a greenish blue.

    I’m amazed by your ability to restore this car to a level that equals or arguably surpasses how the car was when it rolled off the assembly line. Many of the w116 chassis parts are no longer available, so you are actually reproducing the quality and craftsmanship that would otherwise get lost to time. Great video!

    I thought about the newer cars, and then I thought about my W210 with 428k km on it - I would love to do a restoration on it similar to this. Very very interesting and satisfying to watch. They do not make these cars like that any more. W124 and W126 were the last of this era. W116 is an extra treat to see in this condition - and of all places, coming from and going back to Macau. Thank you for this presentation.

Great to see the Alcala team performing such impressive work on this icon of Mercedes engineering. Regards from Los Angeles.

    Amazing work! I enjoyed watching this video. I just have one question. Why did you paint the car with the windshield and rear glass still on? I would assume at that level of restoration, the glass would be also removed and inspected for corrosion underneath.
    Thank you for sharing this content.

    • @alcalatechnology
      @alcalatechnology  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello Sr,
      Thanks for watching our videos, always remove the front and rear glass is difficult depending on the status of the rubber. Our first question to the customer is, we have 2 options, either we leave the original glass, or we try to remove, always in a smooth and delicate way.. but you know.. depend on the rubbers and the long time the car has been outside.. is difficult not to crack it. It was a decision of the customer not to remove it, so we did our best to restore it as it was. I must say, there was not rust point under it, as normally those have UST points because of the water, but in the place where it was stored, there was not water and also the country is not popular for many rain.. so we got lucky at this point..
      Many thanks for your question and I hope I helped with the explanation. Best regards and thanks for following us!

    My uncle used to let me drive his 450 SEL 6.9 Mercedes when it was almost brand new back in the 70s. That one was a right hand drive also. Watching this brought back so many memories for me. I used to compare putting your foot down in this car to take off in a jet airliner! What you can achieve is truly amazing and the passion you do it with is truly a credit to you, your father and your team.

      Thankyou for replying. I might add that the fastest my uncle and I drove in his car was 280kph, before our nerves gave out. Not because of the car - it was rock steady, and I'm sure able to get to at least 300kph. The thing is this was in central Australia, on narrow roads with kangaroos and cattle able to wander onto the road. It's amazing how much more narrow a road looks at 280kph! Still, at least we were not in danger of getting a speeding ticket in this part of Australia, as there was NO speed limit on outback roads in those days! Just like your fancy autopistas, hey? I'd love to come to Spain one day and meet great people like you guys. Cheers from Australia.

    I am sure that the driver of this renewed car will drive the car with peace of mind that he will not see a check engine or if he breathes inside the car, he will not see a message, please visit the nearest agent. Simple mechanic, no complications, no poor plastic inside the car, no high costs. Whoever made this car and similar ones at that time was making something to be proud of, but now whoever makes the car is only concerned with emptying your pockets. Imagine that most of the cars in the eighties and nineties had headlights made of glass, but now they are made of the worst types of plastic. May your right hand be safe, men, for renewing this icon.
