Replacing the interior burlwood

My 380sl just got new paint and as I was drivin it home I decided its time to redo the wood and seats in my blue baby . Anyone ever use these .... eBay Motors: Mercedes 107 380SL Burl Wood Shift Console Cover (item 300122871638 end time Feb-14-08 11:16:19 PST) They are half the cost of dealership. at his prices I can afford to replace all the burlwood

No, but if you're looking for a place someone has used (twice, once on each car) you can look at

Shopping Cart -

and find all the wood for your car. I bought the kit, which includes all the trim pieces (including center console and climate control panel) for about $500, delivered.

The only glitches I found were the dash trim pieces being too wide to fit in the channel in the dash. It was just a hair, and I was able to easily fix it by sanding the pieces, but they weren't an exact fit as delivered.

Your console too far gone to be refinished?

It's all new pieces. I did a thread a while back about replacing the wood in your car, if you search for something like "replace wood" (no quotes) you should find it. It's not what I'd call authoritative, more a running dialog as I figured out what the hell I was supposed to be doing.

Oh, and the pieces were all a good match on both the zebrano and burl. They obviously didn't match the old weathered pieces in the car, but they matched each other beautifully.

I don't know where the thing disappeared to. I just looked for my thread and didn't find it. It's fairly straight forward to do, though, and several of us here have done it. If you run into anything or just want to ask some questions before you start, feel free. You'll get a couple of good answers and then some stuff about your sister.

This is my 2nd sl my 1st was a rusted badly 75 with f**ked up EFI.This car came from Fla totally rust free but the sun destroyed almost everything it could ,I even had to remove the dash and HVAC and replace all rubber diaphrams ,I have been an auto tech for 30yrs and I removed alot of Hvac units but the 107 dash is not for the faint of heart
