CL500 Restoration 4

Finally got the CL500 back from the transmission rebuild. The performance and kick-down are back but it does not disguise the fact that it is a very heavy car. The big deal is that the vibration is gone all together, with the replacement of the drive-shaft bearing. Also changed is the transmission rubber mount.

But the car came back dirty and a oily smell in the cockpit. Need to clean tomorrow morning.

It is a grateful thought that the CL500 has now undergone more than 60% of the restoration and is enjoyable to drive and own.
