hey guys im looking at buying a hardtop c210 however it has a few bad spots of rust in the roof along the chrome trims, has actually got holes in some spots. the doglegs look ok though and the panels look pretty straight. has anyone tried to repair this kind of rust before themselves? or would this be too hard for the home DIY restorer and the car not worth fixing?

It will be a lot of hard work to repair those section as it is a curved piece of steel, without panel beating experience you'll end up taking a long time to do it.

It will be better to find one without the rust.

What kind of car is it? does he have any c110's in there?

yeah hence why i havent bought the last 2

the white ones is a c210, he has a nice collection of cars including some rust free c110s but they are not for sale..

excuse my ignorance, but i've seen many say "hardtop"... did these cars come out in soft top?? I think my 240k coupe had a vinyl roof but it off and the roof is solid as metal.. pls explain.. thanks

They use the term hardtop to describe the coupe.

The C110 officially came in wagon, sedan and hardtop...

though there is a 240k convertible around this forum (3 posts up)

here is a soft top, there is another in Japan but it's horrible and should be crushed

That is horrible. Such a nice car too. Rims don't even go with it at all.
