Stewart, what are your plans for this 300D? I know you don't like the Euro lights, might as well get the Hella or Cibie units. The Cibie ones fit better due to the curvature similar to sealed beams but with E code functionality.

Let us know how many bodies you can stash in the trunk when you have time

I really don't have any big plans for it. Right now I just want to make it run and drive like new, after that I will work on the appearance. I really need to get the windshield and seal replaced, FL the insurance will replace the front windshield if its cracked, and mine is cracked. I'll wait a few months and see if the insurance will replace it.

Ah, is your thunder getting stolen?

I really hope that he's just restoring it to the original color. Color changes don't usually come out well.

Now you guys have me lusting after a W115.

OK, tomorrow Im taking the oil cooler to a rad shop to be tested and repaired if it needs to be repaired. To remove the oil cooler you must remove the radiator, fan/clutch, and the shroud, other wise you'll damage the radiator bracket.

Some nice green coolant:



Very dirty rad fins:




Heres what it looks like now:



I can't wait to put it all back together again, LOL.
