I've bought the car some years back when it was in need of some TLC. It had not been moved for some time and it had it's share of dents and scratches. Also the electrical ghost was in the interior electronics. The first two years or so I used the car as the second daily driver and repaired some smaller things along the way. After that I've lived in Luxembourg for about one year and the 164 was left parked in the Netherlands. After my return I got the oppurtunity to drive a company car which relieved the 164 from it's daily duties. Time to take things to a new level. Basically I've started at the rear and inch by inch I'm moving to the front repairing, cleaning, painting, etc along the way.
Starting point:

Replacing the gear box (after I lost the gearbox oil and didn't notice it in time):
Work on the rear bumper:
