Larry Bible is off to a good Christmas with a Big New Tool Box from Mrs. Claus. What is your Christmas wish?

I wish I had a shop, a set of tools, a couple of mb's to tinker with and a good running sdl. plus happiness and good health to my family and all.....

my 124 E300D estate/wagon is going to be my xmas present to myself -fingers-crossed, I should be picking it up on the other side of the pond next week

ah, to hear the clatter of diesel again...

I'll settle for a driver's seat that doesn't give me lower back pain and a/c that works.

Hmm,
I'm driving from Atlanta to Pittsburgh and back via Columbus, Ohio. My MB christmas wish is to have the trip go off without major incident or expense. I trust the car, and I'm going through it pretty well before I go, but it does have 351k miles, so you never know...

Merry Christmas to you Chaz!

I guess I could add to my list of,"healthy and working right Climate Control, Sliding Sun roof. Of course i'd love to own a 1989 450SL, with only 25k miles..hehe

Which one, and does santa have a quota?

Wants: #1 Rust fixed, new leather seats, new carpets, door panels, and a new navy blue convertable top.......450SL

Wants: #2 New valve seals and guides.......190E

Wants: #3 New motor mounts......300D

BB....

On my list is a bottomless fuel supply with a pump next to my garage. I could live with that alone...

a decent air compressor to paint my "new" 300d, and a power ratchet/wrench to use when removing wheel lug bolts that the prior owner over-torqued. Any recommendations on the cheapest compressor that will do the job would be appreciated.

~some attention from 'daddy' ~ "please get my belt changed soon" ('mommy' can't do it right now, her back is out...)

~front seat cushions/padding (mommy's back again...)

My only wish is that the restoration project goes very smoothly without any unforeseen costs......

Wouldn't mind that bottomless fuel pit either.....

Sun roofs are OK but I want a pervertable.

The top stays up and the passenger goes down.

Like on the Porsche poster, eh?

A 1997 E420 would be a nice. Black on black, one owner never hit with a full maintaince history and under 60k miles on it. Then a nice set of Brabus wheels with a sticky set of Yoko's in my stocking!

Back to the real world I already got a nice set of Bilstein shocks for the SDL. In the past week I have spent $390 on her I think she is doing just fine.

Hatterasguy-Which Bilsteins did you go with?

Can you give some feedback on them?

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

Thanks!
