I'm unable to do any work at the moment due to the virus. I've built up a load of parts for my W123 over the past year so thought I'd use my time productively. I've managed to do the following over the past week, learning new skills from a big stack of service manuals and forums.

Upper control arms
Rear subframe bushes and support plates
Gearbox mount
Diff mount
Changed diff oil
Track rods
Drag link
Idler arm bush
Front anti roll bar bushes
Removed and refurbished brake booster
Plenty of chassis cleaning and Bilt Hamber waxing
New plugs

Got some new front disc and pads to do next.

I think this was ready for changing?!

Been doing the same to my A209 CLK 320. New struts, springs, bump stops, strut bearings & drop links at the front. New brake back plates and handbrake shoes at the rear. Also fitting a DAB radio and aerial and wiring up the car stereo aux input. Nice to have plenty of time available to do it rather than rushing over a weekend as the car is needed on Monday.
