wife was with me...........and she's not to happy either....But she will deal with it when I explained to he why its a good deal for me......plan on stripping it for spares for mine then calling Potomac German to see if they want whats left...
that is If nobody local wants whats left when I am done. Its too far gone to save but has quite a few good things I can use. Driveline is going into my garage as a spare. few other odds and ends I am going to keep too. I figue I have a month or two if I keep it under a tarp before neighbors start asking questions. That should be enough time.

I got it home today.............

18 degrees today..................took the battery out of my 300SD put it in this one.......turned the key after the first glow cycle cranked it and it fired within 2 seconds............and idled smooth....no kidding.....on 2 year old fuel.......loaded it on the car trailer...........hint you guys........don't tell U-haul you are carrying a Benz they won't rent to you saying its too heavy......so I called back again and told them I was towing a honda..............Got it home with no issues......drove it off my trailer and into the driveway along side my pride and joy..............now to wait for warmer weather to give it a good going over to decide what parts to keep..........

Motor runs great with NO nailing....but did see fuel leaking profusly from the rear injector..........saw it when I was securing the car with straps from underneith.....before I shut it down.........no biggy, never spent the time to look closer. Real happy, its going to be put to very good use.
