HERITAGE MERCEDES WELDING REPAIRS (1950S & 1960S)
There comes a time when your Heritage Mercedes-Benz model (1950s – 1960s) may require some restoration work. There could be a number of repairs required but establishing the most urgent ones is essential to getting you back on the road swiftly and affordably.
SLSHOP offers a range of fabrication services to enable rectification of isolated issues. This allows you to choose the most urgent repairs to make, giving you time to enjoy your vehicle before making decisions on any further structural restoration work.
HOW WE ESTABLISH THE RIGHT WELDING REPAIRS FOR YOU:
Commencing with a Vehicle Health Check reveals the structural condition of your classic Mercedes-Benz, allowing us to determine the best route to give you a safe and usable classic Mercedes-Benz. Common issues that we recommend addressing include:
- Sills: Both the inner and outer sills could have suffered from corrosion.
- Rear Chassis Legs: These could have suffered due to blocked drainage holes and the resulting effect will be corroded wheel tubs which need patching and replacing.
- Boot Floor Replacement: Where seals have failed, water could have penetrated your boot and caused the floor to corrode.
- Floor Pans: Similarly, water collecting in foot wells will cause the need for replacement pans.
- Front Cross-Member: This section houses essential cosmetic elements such as chrome bumpers – any corrosion will spoil the cosmetic appeal of your vehicle.
- Toeing eye: Corrosion here will often be associated with the chassis legs and lead to wider issues.
This is just a snapshot of some of the areas of corrosion that your classic Mercedes-Benz may be suffering from. Our team will ensure that all repairs carried out are done to period correct, original specifications. We do not conceal or weld over corrosion.

Here, you’ll find a wide variety of Pagodas. Of those, some are here for final touches, some for initial assessment, and everything in between. After all, every Pagoda’s needs are different. And it’s not just SLs in this workshop, either… In addition, we regularly see earlier SLs and all manner of saloons, coupes, and convertibles from this glorious era of style and statement.
