1986 Mercedes 500 SEC
Discussion
So, she's back from the body shop. As mentioned in my original post, all SECs suffer from water ingress under the rear screen seal. As such, you get insidious water ingress that rots out the rear bulkhead. If you're ever buying, be sure to check for damp boot carpets or condensation on the boot lid.
Somewhat interestingly the majority of the rust was at the midpoint.
But they did lovely work to rectify it

Nice work, I see you're in London, can I ask which bodyshop are you using?
County Coachworks in Kingston (Kings Rd). They're cantankerous but have skills that few others can match. They're decent older gents, just don't expect smiles, tea and a warm "welcome back". If you're happy to leave your car with them, they'll fit it in around other work and you'll receive a smaller bill accordingly. SamPet said:
