[W126 Coupe] 85 SEC to 560 SEC

[Axel Wulff]

Doug,

Almost all the body panels form the Series 1 SEC will fit your Series 2 SEC.

However, most of the mechanical and interior parts will not be of any use to
you.

Of the exterior parts; the plastic panels will be different (ribbed vs.
smooth) and the front fenders will be slightly more flared on the Series 2.

Doors, hood, trunk lid, etc., are all the same.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Axel

Hi All, last week I posted a question and only got one reply from a 
gentlemen that offered good advice but his answer was not definitive but 
I appreciated his response on what I thought was a simple question . 
Maybe the answer is too simple and obvious but I would like to try 
again. In the short version, will all BODY parts from a '85 500 SEC bolt 
directly onto a '90 560 SEC or are there variations such as fender flair 
door fit etc.?  I'm about to buy a 500  for parts but don't have the 
knowledge about the differences. If I don't buy this car I will suggest 
that the owner let me post it on MB Coupes. He wants to sell the entire 
car. It has rear left body damage it's black on black and wants $1000 
it's in Austin TX so the body is probably very good from a rust 
perspective. I've not seen it yet.. Thank you for your responses in advance.

Doug
