The lower strip needs new clips, I have them but haven't put them on, mainly because I don't know how.

Not normal having an engine that clean, must be a leak some where.

Looks good Derick. don`t know about your SD but your 300D is incredable.

I notice that your SD valve cover is different than most I have seen.

There are some nice 123s out there.. I'm scared of posting mine, it'd get ripped to shreds.

pfft... I go to concourse shows and watched a friend of mine get seriously pissed.

His car is a very nice Ferrari 308.. red etc etc. At the last concourse at winter park they parked a museum Ferrari 308 next to his. Needless to say the judges went over that car with a very fine tooth comb. Only defect on my friends was a tiny scratch on the paint that could be buffed out...The musueum car was perfect in all sense and with only 10 miles on the clock it had a lower mileage where as my friend drives his all the time.

very upsetting

I guess it depends on what you do with your 123. I find it interesting how how some of them are restored classics and some of them are beat up daily drivers. Not that this has anything to do with the original post but hey.

The people are cool, their cars are cooler. Even if you think your 300D isnt in the best of shape, its still fun to talk about them.
