So yesterday the wife calls, "Honey, I umm... backed into your car.." Now I can not even be mad about it. sigh... Another 2 items to add to the ever growing list of things to do... (I know, my car is really dirty and unkept:eek:)
....
#3 - Secure trim on Minivan. (Daily school bus)
...
#25 - Replace Benz drivers door.
...
#(must be over 100 by now) - Get Benz painted.

Anyone got a spare drivers side door?

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

That'll buff right out! Check car-part.com or local junkyards.

Oops! Fortunately it was just the door! There are plenty of doors to go around . . .

That van did a pretty good job on that door. Door are easy to find and thats a common color so it shouldn't be to much trouble.

Not try to be mean but do you really drive it everyday that dirty?

Thanks for the replies. Indeed luck to have a common color, getting a off color door to "blend in" is a real bit of labor. As for the dirt/moss/general decreped look... Well, long story... I bought this car from a friend 5 years ago, (wow time flies) It was stored in my yard for a year before that. Amazing, it fired right up after just charging the battery. Cleaned it up and started driving it around. Started on the mechanical fixes, new rear axles, driveshaft & center bearing, front ball joints, front calipers & hoses, tranny mount, flex joints, and so on... Then got married had kids, the rest is history. I drive her usually once a week to work and back to keep the mechanicals from suffering from 'rest-rot' (part hi-way part city). Otherwise I've had no time to look after her properly... So the list of tasks slowly grows...:(

#1 Move the Benz to some place where the minivan can't get to it again. :o

i-osprey 11-11-2009 06:26 PM

Has she ever voiced any displeasure toward this car.........?

Don't feel bad I backed into my 85 300SD with a Dodge 2500 Diesel in the back yard. It was my favorite. At Least I was driving the worst was I thought that there was a tree root holding me back so I just added power no noise just crunch.
It will not make you feel better but S**T happens.

I also have a door that you can have if you want but Wilmington, NC is a haul from you.
