[diesel_mercedes] Re: question about rot on fins and pontons

 

I have had to pontoon MB, a 180b and a 190b. Neither of those cars had any rust problem, but that was 20 years ago. Both cars came from Florida.

I also had a 220Sb that I bought in North Carolina and already had rust when I bought it. I have looked at several of these and I believe rust is a problem on the fin's models. Check carefully on the front fenders above the headlights. That is a bad area to trap road salt and mud and I have seen several with rust there. Also the rocker panels are a problem area on these cars, front to back. Great road car though, I would still have that one were it not for the rust.
