My SLK has been in storage for almost a year now. Climate in my country is very humid...so my interior is all covered in a layer of greenish gray mold. Everything has fallen apart...ceiling upholstery, all plastic panels are brittle and cracked...ugly sight! I need to replace most of the instrument panel and the center console. Where can I get these parts aside from the dealer? I tried starting the car after charging the battery but had no luck. Engine would crank but wont continue. I could hear the fuel pump working. Any advise how to fire this baby up? Car also has a history shutting down while on the road. It would start again after giving it some time. Eventually, car wouldnt start anymore. Thats why it was in storage for almost a year and I was also out of the country for most the time. Anyway, pls help.

What year car and what country are you located in? If in the US and you have a R170 you can probably look on car-part.com. You just search for your car and what you are looking for. I then sort it by how far they are to me. You would be surprised who might have a SLK near by. If you need a lot I would find one close and then visit them and do a package deal. Usually those places are very flexible if you want to get a good list of stuff.

Just curious, was it stored with the top down? Just kidding, but I can't imagine that amount of damage in one year. Depending on the model year and overall mechanical condition, is it worth restoring?
