mods to 80 240D

Removed Mercedes grill and propeller, installed 84 Thunderbird grill, making it a "Mersey-bird" or a "Thunder-Benz". (hood was stuck closed when I bought it, I wanted more access to the latch in case it happens again. Didn't break the grill with the hammer & screwdriver, but came close)
Removed hubcaps for more of that South African farmer look.
Installed goldenrod 1 quart fuel filter because I had to change the primary filter 3 times on trip to Chalma,NM. Right side near AC freon canister.
Installed Fomoco heater core, didn't feel like pulling the dash out to install Mcd core from the back of the box. Anybody want an unused $350 Mercedes W123 80 heater core?
Replaced ashtray with dual power panel to use dual electric heaters to defrost windshield and drive home after work (7AM) before the engine heats up.
Looking for rear oversize springs, taking all my tools out to the country property makes the rear end sag. That's why I bought the car, I have 2 diesel tractor/lawnmowers out there that don't run right now.
