Yes, anyone fixing headliners himself... is a hero.
Wish I could say I did it myself, but I can't find the spray on adhesive strong enough to withstand the heat of a car interior.
I have tried before, but it only took a few days for the glue I used to give up on me.
I got a mobile professional service to do this one for me.
I think I have found a better adhesive, and might give it a go myself again on a future project.
It˙s some kind of therapy to watch this.
It felt good to get all the filth out and replace all the worn parts.
Made it nice to drive again.
From Tajikistan, well done, беҳтарин!
It's so satisfying seeing the dirty stuff get clean again.
Agreed. The cleaner the car got, the cleaner I felt!
Took his time and did everything even behind panels. Exceptional job my friend
I’m so glad Iv come across your channel. Nothing better than seeing old cars being saved and given a second chance of life. Keep up the amazing content ❤ new sub here 🎉🎉
Thank you! I'll keep doing my best, but not sure I'd be able to flip my way up to a Supercar!
This is what I really like about Western/European people, they do everything themselves, the results are excellent, and it's very inspiring.
Saved from the scrapheap...Good one
✌🤜🏽
Cheers and thank you.
@@ProjectCarHaven
A complete turnaround...from the start I knew you would save it with your meticulous display of cleaning...well done Brother...on to the next one
✌🤜🏽
I'm a Mercedes-Benz lover do more episodes on brand great work..
You never know....
If another one comes along for a bargain price and is worth saving, I might not be able to help myself!
What a video
Amazing done work there !
Hi from Los Angeles. Great job and beautiful to see old Mercs getting resurrected to live another day.
I just couldn't leave it to be picked apart and junked. Are W203s popular on the west coast of the USA?
@@ProjectCarHaven Yes, still very popular as they are perfect and reliable day to day cars. My neighbor has a C320 with 160k miles on it that drives like new.
Im picking up a black 2006 C350 this friday, this made me so excited to get this car. The hood needs to be repainted, and paint correction elsewhere and a suspenion issues on the drivers side front wheel. This car comes apart like legos. I dont fear the car or DIY work on it now. Hell i use to work on my old bmw and ive worked on a W204. Nothing to fear with the 203
Amazing! Great work!
Patience is a virtue , a job well done , looks like new , interior was a mess , surprised how well it cleaned up.
amazing job! this car is gorgeus
Great job Man!
Thank you 😊
Amazing. Well done
Thanks!
Hello
A great video perfect job 👍👍👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋👋👋Kai🙏
Thank you! Another German car saved from the scrap pile.
Nice work!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Respect. I Love Mercedes.
Wunderbar ❤
great video mate!
Cheers! Thank you.
Awesome rejuvenatation!
Did you really say „ganz“ and „kaputt“ @ 3:39? That was perfect spot-on german pronounciation! 😊
😆 I did study German for 2 years in high school. I guess there might be a little correct pronunciation left in the corners of my mind!
@@ProjectCarHaven haha liked it a lot. Nicely done, gut gemacht. 👍🏻
Nice work buddy
Thanks 👍🙂
Nice work!
Thanks!
What was the name of the product you used to clean and polish the headlights, and do you have a video just on the cleaning and polishing headlights?
Unfortunately, I don't currently have a separate video for headlight polishing.
The polishing compounds I used were Meguiars Scratch X, and Turtle Wax Headlight Cleaner and Sealant.
amazing job !!! ima daily driving same motor but wagon
how much did u spend on the suspension or if its easier for you as a whole
keep up the great work the vid is amazing
edit: i saw the other video its worth every buck for such a nice old school merc like that
Thanks! Glad you found the accountant run down video! I'd be much faster with the rest suspension on a W203 if I ever have to do it again, but that was an unexpected undertaking the first time I started pulling it apart.
Amazing sir
Thank you!
What radio headunit is that?
It's an X-Trons unit, specifically for the W203. They have a couple of models to suit the different face plate shapes for pre-facelift, and post-facelift models.
If you look on evilbay for "W203 xtrons" you should find a few (provided you're actually looking for one.... I just assumed you might be)
Thank you for saving this car.
Please get the w211 as next project 🙏
Already on to a TA22 Celica and a Mitsubishi Legnum, and a 300ZX waiting in the background.
Is there such a thing as a reliable Mercedes?
these have one of the most unkillable 4 cyls of any mercedes also you have a subaru logo as your pfp man i been through 3 EJ's already and im still on the same boosted benz
I feel the carpet should have been removed and shampooed
WTF is a "Merc" ??
The worse car in history! Yes,i do own one for 14 years by now...
Nice job keep going !
Thank you!
Nice project! So satisfying to watch
We have a 2004 model. The facelift. It's a C220 Cdi with 380,000 kms on now. Runs like a charm. Everything still looks great even the interior. The facelift of these was the best C they ever made.
I'm curious to know if the diesel Mercedes is significantly more fuel efficient than the petrol....(I drive a diesel as my daily, and the L/100, or mpg, is really good!)
@@ProjectCarHaven I'm sure the diesel is much more fuel efficient. We get 5.6 litres per 100kms (sometimes even less) on highway drives. But would also like to see the consumption of a C200k on the same drive.
@@SDav21I have a remapped m271 c180 kompressor 170hp and 270nm, witch is bascally the same thing as c200. The fuel economy in highway is about ~6.7/100km and on long contry roads i can get it to like 6.2l. On city drive its about 8.5/10l .
@@Meandog_ the m271, sorry to say, is very different from the m111 which has reinforced block, rods, hypereutectic pistons, oil squirters and a robust and durable dual row timing chain system. You can turbocharge an m111 and easily get away with it reliably and with some really good power too, cant say the same for the m271. all in all i think you should do an engine swap ;)
Hahaha who are you kidding? This car is a synonim for rust as every other mercedes vehicle.Awful car full of malfunctions.Yes,i do own own one for 14 years by now.
Good job brother❤❤from India🇮🇳And a new subscriber🎉❤
Thanks! Never would have thought these videos would be watched in India! 🇮🇳
@@ProjectCarHaven ❤ car enthusiastic and vehicle lovers are all over the universe right, I'm just one of them
Nice would really like yor help have da same car c200 it dont wana crank anything
Just like OEM 😂. I'm going to pick up a no crank no start W203 for $CAD600 tomorrow, bought a starter motor already just in case. Say a prayer for me. Should be fun😅.
My previous experience with $600 Mercedes Benzs, is that everything is going to be fine. 😆
Good luck!
I love this car.
👑Короли дорог👑
I really enjoyed watching this. Credit to you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job brother
If you plan to keep the car I would recommend you to change the center console and instrument cluster to facelift
Almost everything is plug and play
And then bumpers and bi xenon headlights
And it would be a perfect car
Great idea, and good points! I wasn't sure if something like instrument clusters would be a straight forward swap!
@@ProjectCarHaven it is
I have made a full facelift conversion to my car
For the instrument cluster all you have to do is just get the kilometres programmed
Hi from Mauritius
My dad owns a 2008 w203 c220 cdi manual which I need to give a rehab rescue ❤ as he considers it to be my car ❤and I love both him and the car. It was and is also our first mercedes!
Can I get the links of the parts, wheels and anything else that you feel free to share?
It would permanently my car when I get my liscense
Lucky to live in a beautiful place like Mauritius! 🌴☀️🌴
I found the wheels locally on Facebook marketplace.
I sourced most of the parts in Europe using eBay.
Some were genuine OE (like the MAF), and some were aftermarket, like the fender well covers from Poland.
A lot of the parts will have the Mercedes part number on them.
I then used those numbers in google searches to find replacements.
Original becker audio looks more legit. Better try to replace it with command-looking android or original Command
This is great. The pride you take in your work is admirable. Congratulations my Mercedes-owning friend.
Thank you Jana! 😊
I really enjoyed watching the entire restoration bro. Well done. Expecting more engaging material from your channel ✌
Thank you for the kind words!
Εξαιρετική δουλειά μπράβο σας τέλεια. Και εμένα το δικό μου w271 είναι σχεδόν έτσι το έχει φάει ο ήλιος.
ευχαριστώ. εκτιμώ το κομπλιμέντο
Δεν είναι κοπλιμέντο είναι η αλήθεια για την αγάπη σας σε αυτό που κάνετε.
رائع واكثر من رائع 👍👏👏
شكراً جزيلاً 🙂
Great job
Thank you 😊
The aging and accumulated dirt was completely removed and the car looks like new! It's hard to believe they did it DIY. They are amazing technicians.
I was not sure it would ever get clean! Thank you!
