Hello all, for those who have been here awhile you already know about my restoration project. It’s an 83 300SD W/ 325K on it and I am replacing the entire interior. Right now I have the old stripped out and have some quick questions regarding the climate control systems. I want to replace all the vacuum "pots" while I have the dash off. Where can I buy these new "pots"? Are there any under all the black plastic that I need to get to? Anything else under here I ought to replace so I don't have to go through the dash removal again? I am running quite a few new harnesses (adding on-board computer systems) and I can't believe how expandable these cars are!! There is channel all through the car to run the new wiring in, and the fuse block is even expandable! Its like they knew I was going to be doing this! I am putting the motherboard and hard drives in the trunk in a special case (anti vibration) and installing USB ports, display, and possibly a R/w drive (if I can get it to work efficiently with the Loooong IDE cable to the front W/O interference) in the console where the heat controls were, moving those to where the standard stereo would go. Whoops, it seems I am ranting again - I'll let you all get back to posting.

ONE MORE Q:
Where can I buy new wood for the doors and dash?
and anybody out there have a very good grey center console they want to part with?
