Hello there !
So, I just got a free Mercedes CLK ! It's a european spec 230 Kompressor from the year 2000. It has a blown supercharger and blown automatic gearbox.
So, before giving the Benz away, the owner scrapped everything he could disassemble out of the car to hopefully get some money.
So yes, it's a free car, but the interior, doors, fenders, hood, trunk, seats, radiators etc ... are missing.
My little brother is having his driver's license next year, so I guess I'll be pretty awesome for him to have a CLK as a first car.
Already found another crashed CLK which has done some rollovers, I can retrieve a full interior for free and also found two complete doors (except rearview mirrors) for 250€
So far, this is the list of what's missing on the car :
- Supercharger
- Water radiator
- A/C radiator/condenser
- Intake manifold
- A lot of piping
- visco Ventilator
- Starter motor
- Alternator
- Electric fans
- Throttle body
- ?? Auto gearbox radiator ??
- Intercooler
- Headlights
- Front bumper
- Rear bumper
- Tail lights
- Hood
- Trunk lid
- Power steering pump
- Airbox
Maybe more and this is why I need to check this out with you guys.
So, time to show off my incredible ride !
First picture :
Front left corner. I guess the A plug and the one to the right of it are for the headlights right ?
Something is missing in the B location, have no clue what it is ...
The C pipe is cutted off, no idea where this goes.
Second picture : right side of the engine
Okay, I guess the A is the PCV that goes into the intake
The B looks like a water hose, no idea where it goes
Same for C and D
Third picture : engine bay
You can clearly see the alternator, supercharger and intake manifold missing. Is there anything I should know ?
I guess power steering pump should also be there somewhere as hoses have been cut out.
Next picture : right side in the trunk
So I guess either A or B are the tail light plugs or maybe both.
C D and E are just hanging around, they should go onto something right ?
Next one :
WTF is this ? Looks like an IR transmitter/receiver, it's just hanging by the driver's side with like 2 meters of shielded wire.
Does it go inside the door or something ?
Another one : lower engine bay
This one has been pissing oil during the whole trip, making my trailer rust-free-guaranteed-for-life. There's another one at the other side of the engine. My guess is this is from the gearbox and goes to a cooler or radiator :confused:
And last but not least :
That's under the steering wheel, by the left wall.
Something has gone terribly wrong here.:eek::eek::eek: Please tell me this is plugged into a stupid -- and inexpensive -- door module or something similar.
I can get the connectors from the crashed CLK I'm scavenging the interior, but I'd like to know what these are plugged into.
That's all for now
Thanks for your time and help. Also any link to a 230K build thread or CLK interior assembling/disassembling thread would be greatly appreciated.
Also forgive my english as it's not my mother tongue :rolleyes:
Cheers !
EDIT : missing picture
