Lego Mercedes box truck repairs

Lego Mercedes box truck with replacement towing hook
Mercedes box trucks have lost their towing hooks as often as the low-sided versions. The example above was repaired at the same time as other trucks with a red chassis, and in the same way as shown in the previous post about low-sided trucks. It has a sticker to mention the repair in case the truck should get sold (not my intention though) and to easily distinguish it from its undamaged siblings.

Lego Mercedes box truck with replacement towing hook and glued cracks in roof
This all-red example also received a replacement hook. Its roof had clearly been stepped on in the past, and had a number of cracks in it. These have been superglued together again, from the inside so the traces of where excess glue has been wiped away aren't visible on the outside when the roof is in place.
