Got a tare on vinyl or crack on dash board?

Gentleman good afternoon.

Back in 1983 when I purchased my Brand New W126 at my Mercedes Benz dealership in Montreal,I saw a young man doing a repair on a dash board,it had a very small crack on it.I noticed that he had a very small tool case and it held many different color compounds to do his repairs.We started talking and he told me that he had a franchise called *TrimLine* and that all he did was repairs on dash boards for many different dealerships across the Montreal area.

Well 25 years later I recently found a supplier of these compounds are ordered myself a kit.
The current W126 I own has a small crack on it near the speaker grill on the left side of the dash board.So I will be taking some before and after shots to show you how I did.
Here are a few pictures of the compound kit I received today.
I will update this Blog as soon as the repairs are completed,with pictures of course.Cheers!

Replaced the water pump today and a new serpentine belt also.

I thought I would be able to do this job with out removing the engine rad,but I was sadly mistaken.The rad came out,fan blade removed,fan clutch removed...All in all it took a few hours.
