Sorry to hear about your wife -- not fun times ahead. I self-graduated
last weekend to a cane (was hexapod now a tripod) and will see doc on
Tuesday, see what my status is. Best wishes for her (and you).
The headliner on the SL is also drooping and falling down, I guess when
I can get the hardtop off it will be time to reglue it or whatever one
does, won't have to send it to a specialty shop. Your expertise will be
helpful in that regard, something I can do I expect. It's supposed to
be some high-end material on the SL600 I think, it feels kinda dense and
rubbery, maybe it is actually fabric of some kind. I also noticed that
EVERYTHING in the cabin is covered with leather, no vinyl, it is pretty
cool.

Yup. Just chipping away.
I’m juggling the logistics of the headliner replacement right now. I just
ordered my new reproduction dash pad from the supplier in Turkey, which should
arrive in a couple of weeks. I started tearing into the dash yesterday and hope
to finish that up today. That way I have the wood out of the dash so I can
start refinishing it.
I need to drive it over to the headliner guy in the next week or two so he can
get an idea of what he’s going to do and can order materials. I have a new MB
headliner, but he’ll need some padding and he’s also going to replace the
windlace while the car is in the shop, too. Both windshield and rear glass will
come out for this, so I’ve got to get seals ordered soon, too.
The wife is going in for hip surgery on the 6th of March, so I want to get the
car to him before then so he can have it for a week or two to do his stuff
while I’m busy doing home health care. Once he’s done I hope to have everything
done on my end as far as refinished wood and the dash pad painted so it will
begin to come together after that point.
