Going back in time to July 2010,  before I ever did any videos on YouTube.  I would work on projects like the projects of today.  Except I was only documenting them for myself. 

I decided to dig up the past and share this 2003 Mercedes CLK 320 at the time it was $12k car with low mileage. It was lightly hit in the driver's side front and because of the damage, we were able to buy it for $3k. We opted to buy fiberglass replacements parts that were $1000 cheaper than buying factory parts. 

The fiberglass bumper from the factory had too much material removed from it when it was cleaned up after being removed from the mold and it was not made with any mounts. I had to make my own and salvage everything from the original bumper.  These problems cost me a lot of time, almost a month of my spare time. Doing it all over again I would buy factory parts and would have been done in a few days. In the end between parts and paint $2500 was spent making a really nice Mercedes. 

These pictures were taken from my photo album and turned into a slideshow.  99% of the time I work on my projects by myself. Here's the Mercedes basically from start to finish. Enjoy..  I look forward to future cars I'm going to restore, and showing, like all the rest of my videos,  step by step how to get it done.
