Nice to see a fellow Persian on the forum.

Thanks dude. Yeah, there are quite a few classics kicking around here and the owners take care of them properly. Turkey is a good call, but that might be difficult now as the country is under sanctions.

Yes, Merc parts are relatively easy to find here, popular cars back in 70s and 80s. Outsourcing is not very good at the moment, sanctions affect a lot of importation and things get stuck in the customs.
For now I found a set of OEM 14s for the Merc and replaced them with the 17s that were on the car, they were too big.
