I do believe in doing it right the first time. My Father taught me this because he was so cheap that he once tried to epoxy a fuel pump diaphram to see if it would work. This drove me nuts and I learned to do it right the first time.
I will look at everything as I remove the dash and take care of it as I go. The elements will be replace because I'm there. I sort of did this with the suspension rebuild. EVERYTHING in the suspension was replaced. It lasted 23 years so the next 23 years I don't have to worry about my suspension.
My sons 65 Mustang turned into a 2.5 year restoration due to the inevitable "while I'm at it itis" that comes with car repair.
The 300TD is turning into the daily driver. Were going from the 99 E300 as a daily driver to the 82 300TD ( I'm a pilot for American Airlines, Were still not out of the woods when it come to filling for chapter 11. Its looking better, but were not celebrating yet. so the 300TD will be the car of choice for the next couple of months/years) So the 300TD needs to be in great shape. Its hard to go form 99 E300 luxury to the 82 300TD and " not notice". A suspension rebuild and a cold AC in Texas will make the transition easier. I've owned this car since 1990 and have always liked it. So this just presents the opportunity to "restore" it to the level I want it.

I have saved the sites that you have shown and will look at them tomorrow.

KEEP THE INFO COMMING GUYS

Thanks
