Hi man! gorgeous car!!! You can try with ATF on the hinges, it helped me with my W124!
Cheers from Argentina!
Thanks Fran! That's a good tip. Thanks for your comment, keep watching, I'll keep posting videos.
Did you get rid of that squeaky hinge? Try to lubricate the hinge itself, under the front fender. If it get’s stuck there and brakes ... you have challenging repair :-)
Thanks for your tip Raymond! Yes it has gotten better once I realized where the noise came from. It came from the spot that you mention, so you were perfectly right!
Nice car and nice project❗️
Thank you very much!
I’ve always loved this car, please keep posting videos of this beauty. Hope in the future I’ll have one. Liked and subscribed!!
Thank you very much Ivmarb 87! I'll keep posting as I go along with the project. I agree, these cars are truly great. Hope you find your own W108 soon!
I used to have a 1967 250SE, same color and same seat upholstery.
It was a 4 speed on the tree.
What a great car.
I still regret letting it go !!
Sounds like I nice car! Yes, sometimes you miss cars you once had. I know the feeling, but thankfully you can still find new projects!

I am not worried about replacements. I got enough of just 108/9 cars to last me two lifetimes. That '67 250SE was just the nicest original I ever had.
Sounds nice! Will we see any of them here on YT?
@@Pexyz
Hopefully getting something going very soon.
Nice plan, looking forward to that!
Jeeeesus Christ.... Your 280 is magnificent sir 👏👏👏👏👏👌
Thanks! I agree, it's a great car!
I enjoy with this video, i am looking for 1968 280se Coupe
Thanks Jamal! I'm glad you liked it. I'm currently working on the next episode. The coupé you're looking for is a very very nice car. Hope you find one soon and that we'll see it here on the Tube.
@@Pexyz who would you recommend for total restoration?
@@43DaddyBig Hard to say. I'm sorry, but I don't really have someone to recommend. I guess it depends on where in the world you are and what kind of result you want. I suppose there are some good companies in Germany and even the factory restores cars at the Oldtimer Center in Stuttgart.
@@Pexyz i live in Florida
@@43DaddyBig Okay, then maybe you can check with Pierre Hedary. I think he's in Florida. Just google him. Good luck and thanks again for watching and commenting!
Hay I am looking to buy a classic Mercedes 190sl or pagoda 230 250 280sl or 220 250 280se Coupe or cab let me know if you have anything or you know anyone any condition even project car
Hello and thanks for your comment! I'll keep you in mind if something comes up.
I love this car my dear
Nice to hear! Thanks for your comment and for watching.
I was wondering, why you did not use a chamois, to dry the car off,after washing it.
Hello! I didn't find it necessary this time. The paint isn't the best on this car. It needs some work. However I believe it still has the original paint on the hood, trunk and parts of the doors. Thank for watching and commenting!
Lovely Merc W108 you’ve got there - I can feel the quality from here 👍. Nice looking early Rover P6 too.
Thanks for your comment Drew S! Yes, those are very nice cars. Keep watching, updates are coming :)
Hello!, What's the grease you use for the car hood springs? Cupper grease? Which brand it is? The same one than for the barke pads? And what product are you spraying the engine with prior to wash it? Gazoline? Congratulations for this project!
Hello Julian and thanks for watching! Yes this is a very nice car and a fun project. I hope to bring you all an update on it soon. I tried some various lubrication products on the hood hinges before I realized that the bad squeeking came from the lower hinge mounting on the left side. The copper grease I used is the same as on the brakes, but I think there are other kinds of grease that are more apropriate to use on the hinges than cupper. I just took what I had for the moment. Don't know the brand of it, sorry. For engine cleaning I use a good petroleum based degreaser. I don't use gasoline. I hope this answers your questions. Thanks again for commenting and watching!
@@Pexyz thanks to you, if you wish some interesting material which may help you on the restoration process, let me know, I'll gladly share it with you.
Good luck with restoration - beautiful car !
Thanks Neil! 👌👍 //Peter
Nice! Thanx for the update, I'll keep following
That's nice to hear. Thank you!
Great Work!
Thanks alfkrum! Keep following!
There is now a shortage of grease in Europe😂
😁😂 Well, I managed to find the source of the squeek after the film was done. It was the lower mounting of the left hinge. Greetings //Peter
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching, Felix
Could you give me some advices?
My 280 SE wont start
what is the typical thing to check?
the gasolinepump is working and the gasoline is good
It wants to start with starting spray but apperently he will stole
For what is the yellow big line with the white thing between over the engine isnt there a second filter for gasoline somewhere?
Love it
keep going
what did you use to wash the engine bay and inside
I used some heavy duty degreasing solvent for the engine bay. The inside I just vacuum cleaned.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm glad you like my project. Sorry to hear that your car won't start. The line you mention is the vacuum pipe for the brake booster, so it has nothing to do with the fuel system. My first tip for you is to disconnect the fuel line that goes into the injection system, then turn the ignition on and see if you have fuel coming to the engine, but be careful, put the hose end in a bottle or something so you don't spray fuel all over. This way you can see if your problem is in the injection system or in the fuel feed. You might have a clogged fuel hose or something.
Great videos....you have the feel to show the right things
Thank you very very much Ceasar George! Comments like this keep me going! /Pete
