Workshop Progress Report: Fuel System Teardown & Inspection PhaseThe technical log documents the disassembly and evaluation of fuel delivery components for the Mercedes Benz 280SL w113 restoration project.These photos will describe the fuel system dismantling and inspecting that was done during the last week. Technicians dropped the main fuel tank from the rear floorpan cavity, unthreaded the sending unit, and dismantled the trunk-mounted expansion tank with its associated ventilation vapor lines. Undercarriage inspection focused on the electric fuel pump assembly; the Bosch roller-cell pump unit was unmounted, disassembled, and assessed, revealing heavy contamination and carbon brush wear inside the motor housing. Fuel lines and inline filtration units were likewise detached and cataloged for overhaul.As always, all restoration photos are available on the Riga Master Workshop website: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/mercedes-benz-280sl-w113-dismantling/ #280slpagoda #280sl #w113 #w113sl #RMW

Testing Completion & Vehicle HandoverThe technical report concludes the project log for the Audi UrQuattro restoration.This week we finished the test drives, made small repairs and send the car to the owner. Technicians carried out road testing, performed final ignition tuning with a new distributor cap, rotor, and high-tension leads, and corrected minor mechanical details before loading the coupe onto the transport truck.The main work task trusted by owner to us was the car bodywork as the rear left wheel touched the fender during the steep turning, repainting the car body with later assembling. We resolved the arch clearance geometry, applied a full body respray, and aligned all panels. All these works was done in the earlier agreed budget of the 65,000 eiro.Want to note that the task entrusted to us by the car owner is to repair and paint the body. Therefore, all removed parts are reinstalled without restoration, only repaired as necessary.The last two photos from the owner, as the car passed German TUV and he is happy with result and the car drive.Detailed project photos are located at: https://www.rmw.lv/page/en/audi-urquattro-1982-final/#urquattro #AudiUrQuattro #RMW
