Well, I would like good health again for myself. I haven't been so great lately.

For the MB I have asked Mrs. Claus for some new personalized floor mats and I have ordered all new vacuum connections for under the hood and a pile of car care products.

On 12/29 she goes in to have a complete exterior restoration. Those are fancy words for a paint job. All glass, chrome, etc. coming off and my two tiny rust spots are going to be cut out, new metal welded in and the hokey looking mobile phone antenna is finally coming off and a new piece of metal welded in there as well. The whole car will be stripped down to bare metal. No filler on this car and I don't want any filler. A friend of mine has a restoration shop and works on vintage cars as well as vintage motorcycles and he'll do a great job. Not reasonably, but great work. Can't wait to get it done.

Cheers and Happy Holidays to all,

Bill

With proper investment, it's a gift that keeps giving.
So I can buy whatever I need to keep me busy for
the rest of my life.

All MB's and the tools needed to save as many MB's as
I can find.

Louis.

I am looking at the comforts or HDs for my 300SD.

Thanks!

Back in November right before Thanksgiving I put on 4 new Bilstein comfort shocks. They are great I have a few thousand on them now and the car rides so much better than with the original shocks. HD's give a very stiff ride I would stay away from them, well unless they were for an SEC than the HD's would be nice.

Thumbs up Dear Santa

Just ordered a set of balanced injectors from Colorado Biodiesel. Getting some new combo metric wrenches, valve adj wrenches from Phil via eBay, and 2 days with family and my MB, life is good.

I wish the Reverse gear would magically reappear on my SDL so I don't have to remove the transmission during my holiday break.
