Mercedes Benz 300SEL 6,3 w109 - Restoration process / 2026-06-09
The technical assembly phase of the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3 w109 restoration at Riga Master Workshop is proceeding with detailed trim and hardware integration. This week, we continue assembling the doors, focusing on the exterior brightwork and locking systems.As documented in the progress photographs, our team overhauled the original chrome exterior door handles, dismantling the internal lock cylinders, springs, and tumblers for thorough cleaning and mechanical adjustment. Following handler restoration, we prepared and installed the polished stainless steel upper window frame trims, door glass guide channels, and waistline moldings. These components were meticulously aligned to achieve factory-correct panel gaps and seamless sealing across the door profiles.All detailed assembly and restoration progress photographs are accessible on the Riga Master Workshop website: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/mercedes-benz-300sel-63-w109-restoration-assembling-and-final-tests/ #w109 #300sel #w109sel #300sel63 #RMW

The technical Shelby GT500 1967 restoration at Riga Master Workshop continues through its forensic disassembly stage. This week, we share the photos of the car safety roll bar, dismantling and inspection, documenting the extraction of the unique structural overhead loop.Upon inspection, we discovered that the car retained its original finish beneath the trim layers. Therefore, during dismantling we will continue to meticulously document all these historical traces, such as the exact placement of the retractor reel brackets, internal ventilation extraction ducts, and original anchoring hardware. This extensive technical cataloging allows us to accurately restore them and assist other restorers seeking to preserve this model's original appearance.See more restoration photos on our website: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/shelby-gt-500-restoration-dismantling/ #gt500 #gt500shelby #shelbygt500 #shelbymustang

The technical reassembly phase of our Mercedes Benz 190SL restoration project at Riga Master Workshop is advancing systematically. Following the application of protective seam sealants, this week we continue the assembling process with sound isolation installation throughout the vehicle's interior chassis structures.The attached technical photographs document the preparation and exact matching of the bespoke insulation panels prior to application. Our restoration team meticulously fitted these dampening segments across the main floor pans, transmission tunnel, under-dash firewall section, and the rear luggage shelf area. This foundational stage is critical for minimizing resonance and ensuring period-correct cabin comfort before we begin mounting any of the mechanical or trim components.Detailed technical documentation and a complete gallery of this project's assembly phase are available directly on the Riga Master Workshop website: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/mercedes-benz-500sec-w126-1982-restoration-process-assembling-and-final-tests-90-71/#190sl #w121 #RMW
