The back seat is wrinkly, but it's a lot better than the too-narrow blue W123 seat that the car came with, the blue velour seat I replaced it with, and the poorly-recovered tan one I installed after. Now I am not embarrassed to have people sit on filthy seats.





I put the seat nets to use by placing some reading material in them; a book on the Mercedes W116 S-Class, The Star Magazine, a brochure from The Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, and an owner's manual.


I have a headlight wiper set that I am considering installing. It was a subsequent dealer installation on a USA-spec car, so it has a separate wire harness that still has its own firewall grommets that were never used, which would make wiring it simple. I have a set of new wiper arms for it, and the relay cube and squirters that fit on the overriders with the tubing and clips, but would need to figure out where to drill the holes for the shafts in the under-headlight panels. I would like to keep my battery cooler duct, so I am thinking of possibly cutting the duct so the headlight wiper motor fits in it.

I finally got my Arizona CDL with passenger, tanker, and hazmat endorsements, so I am qualified for a good job. I have an interview tomorrow with a company that rents portable restrooms as a driver. I also have applications in for other companies doing jobs such as delivering oil, CO2 tanks, etc. Hopefully I'll have a good income soon so I can pay off my medical bills and put some more money into my W116.
