Ep 2. Mercedes SL55

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are taking part in the 59th presidential inauguration, and as people celebrate this monumental event around the country, there is no better way to take a break than enjoying some good old Wheeler Dealers. In this episode of season 25, the dynamic duo of Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead are at it again, as they take on one of the most iconic sports cars of its generation, the Mercedes SL55 AMG.

The Mercedes SL55 AMG is not just any car, it's a true performance machine that can go from 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds. In this episode, Mike and Ant find an SL55 that has seen better days. Despite its rough shape, this car is still a star in the making. With its V8 engine and super sleek style, the guys know that they can turn this car into an absolute beast.

As with any project, the first step is to assess the damages. Mike and Ant take a look under the hood and find that there is a lot of work to do, but they are up to the task. They get to work right away, loosening things up, cleaning up the engine bay, and getting all the debris out of the way. After some hard work, the engine is finally out of the car for a complete overhaul.

The team decides to get rid of the old parts and replace them with fresh new components. They put in a new fuel pump, radiator, and water pump. The engine job also requires all new camshaft position sensors to be put in, which is a labor-intensive job, but one that Mike and Ant are well-versed in. They install the new parts and give it a test run, which proves that the engine is running much better than before.

The interior of the car is also in need of some attention and love. Mike and Ant replace a number of pieces like the headliner, the steering wheel, the door panels, and even the shift knob. The team does an impeccable job making everything look brand new, fresh, and polished.

As the restoration project continues, Mike and Ant take the SL55 for a test drive. The car is running much better than before and the guys can't wait to get their hands on the exterior now. They tackle the paint job and choose to go with a metallic black finish. Once the car is dry, they give it a thorough polish, giving the car an incredibly shiny finish. All the other exterior components are changed as well, including the brakes, suspension, and the exhaust.

After all the hard work, the Mercedes SL55 AMG looks fantastic and is ready for its big reveal. Mike takes the car out on the open road and reveals the new and improved masterpiece to Ant, who has to admit that it is a success. The car is now worth more than it was before as the guys knock it out of the park, once again.
