ahoy:
i'm looking for a W126 and have seen three with similar front bumper corrosion (holes on top where it is chromed). is it a big job to replace this bumper with a better one from another W126? is the rear the same? is that problem generally more than cosmetic? i'm also seeing a lot of bad wood, but i figured that's not too difficult to replace. was also wondering about how easy/difficult it is to replace the shifter indicator (the piece around the shifter with white P,R,D, ...).
thanks, POE
Chrome pieces are easily replaced without changing the whole bumpers... the question is whether you can buy them reasonbly priced.
If you can find good clean chromr that's the hard part. Replacing them is a no brainer.
The wood is indeed not too bad to replace. 560's had burl, might want to hold out for that. All other cars got Zebrano.
