MERCEDES R129 SL RUST PROTECTION
Having been launched over 30 years ago, the R129 is moving closer to classic car status. With many of these vehicles still being used daily, it is common for corrosion to develop in set areas, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Salt on the roads, dirt lingering in your wheel arches, years of usage and with the original rust protection now fading, your R129 would benefit from inspection and protection. Areas that are commonly found to rust are the the rear subframe, axle, differential and brake lines. Corrosion to the underbody, hydraulic and brake lines is concealed by the rear sub-frame making it often hard to spot.
WHY PROTECT YOUR R129 FROM RUST?
The answer is obvious. To ensure longevity, safety and enjoyment, as well as future return on investment.
WHAT MAKES SLSHOP STAND OUT?
There’s no quick fix to corrosion. Underseal won’t do and nor will a bodged repair. With an on site restoration centre featuring a team of expert metal magicians, as well as our own reproduction panels and an array of replacement new and refurbished components, we will address all affected areas. Once surface rust and corroded components have been dealt with, we’ll use our trusted rust treatment solutions.
