I started out to help a friend with some rust repair on his Mercedes. Things got a little out of hand.
I started on this car last year but had to put it on hold. I worked all summer, fall and early winter out of town. Attached image(s)

And their method of assembly is less than friendly. In order to drop the engine out the bottom still bolted to the "K" member, you still need to dis-assemble the top end of the engine. You have to remove so many parts you may as well strip everything out and start from scratch. Even the transmission mounts have a certain way they need to be dis-assembled in order to access the shifter and drive shaft....
