The technical workshop log documents the ongoing teardown and assessment phase of the Mercedes Benz 250SL w113 restoration project.This week we removed, dismantled and inspected the hardtop. Technicians systematically detached the outer chrome trim moldings, rubber seals, and interior grab handles before peeling back the original perforated headliner. Inspection revealed surface corrosion along the internal structural metal shell and mounting rails, which will require media blasting and metal repair prior to refinishing.Here are some photos of the process illustrating the complete disassembly down to the raw frame.All detailed project photographs are located at: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/mercedes-benz-250sl-w113-dismantling/#pagoda #250SL #w113 #rmw

The technical workshop report for the Audi UrQuattro restoration highlights major progress in the final vehicle assembly phase. This week we continue assembling the car and installed the last parts.The provided engineering photographs document the refitting of the interior cabin trim, including the rear seats, seatbelt mechanisms, and center console differential lock controls (Differentialsperre), alongside the under-body protective shielding and engine bay components. Now we need to install the front bumper and the car will be ready for the first test drives. Want to note that the task entrusted to us by the car owner is to repair and paint the body.
