I finally got my coupe running, so here are some photos to drum up enthusiasm about getting it to run perfectly.

Thanks for the help, now and in the future!

1984
200,000m

Nice coupe, congrats! I've owned Elvira since she rolled out of the Dallas MB dealer show room in Oct of 1984 - the more you drive the car, the more attached you'll become. It's the last of the chrome and steel battering rams and the best couple MB ever built - the '85's had the California crap pollution equip and were headaches.

I like that steering wheel for my '79. Where did you get it and how much...if you don't mind me asking?

I dig the ones like the amg style, the spokes mimic the Re-enforced look of the penta road wheels.

Well its coming out of the exhaust headed into the intake.
