[MBZ] SEC -- 500 or 560?
I am feeling ambivalent about getting a C107 project, and found two SEC that might fit the bill. One is the older, the other an 87. Is the post facelift a better project, or would the earlier SEC be just as fulfilling to play with? I am going to assume neither one has functional AC. What other issues would I be wanting to keep an eye out for? Lambo doors are a given, down the road. For now I am thinking I would deck it out in Polizei livery, lights and all.

If anyone is interested, there is some kind of coupe (126?) that I have passed at a rural car dealer several times. I suspect you can Google alafia auto and find them if they have a web presence. I keep forgetting to stop and look at it when I pass, so I figured if anyone is interested they can look it up themselves.

Re: [MBZ] SEC, any thoughts???
Not sure about the engine - but it;s one of the prettiest models of MB I;ve seen. Have wanted one for a long time -- There was a problem with the timing chain sprocket problem - came with single gear and was updated to double row sprocket - not sure if that applies to this model. If it were me, and I was sure the rust was minor (be sure it's minor rust) - and the rust can be reached with the stuff needed to stop it, i.e., not hidden in the guts, then it might be workable.

Re: [MBZ] SEC, any thoughts???
Hi Larry, As always, thanks for your thoughts and input. One area of rust that does concern me a little, is on the lower rear bit, in front of the rear wheel. Like the lower sill, which usually has that textured paint, as on our W124s. As always, it tends to go deeper than the outside would indicate, but I'm not 100% of how it's constructed, ie, double skin. I'm going back for another look now. I've always loved the SECs too, but I want to use my head. The market is so soft now, by the time I put this car right, I could probably just spend a little more and get an original one. I just have to be honest about the work involved. I tend to be one that ends up digger deeper and always making them bigger projects than first planned!! ;-) I'll keep you updated Larry.
