[TheDon]

nice score

also, looks like you have the same wheels as my SDL

[awsrock]

Awesome!

If you ever decide to sell it, let me know

[ImBroke]

Very nice. I have the same problem, cars keep following me home.

[matthias08]

I do have the same wheels as the SDL, and I like them a lot

I go pick it up on a couple hours!

I can't wait!

[TheDon]

trade you.. SDL for the 300D.. lol

[matthias08]

ok, so....

THE GOOD:
I absolutely love the 603 in it, pulls like my parents CDI

the seats are more comfortable than my '95 E300

it handles like a dream! incredibly tight

paint is pretty decent, and will be spotless when i get the one fender done (pics to come)

memory seat still works

Mercedes-Benz instrument cluster repair tool kit is in the trunk

THE BAD:
right rear window was sticking going up, so i tried to mess with it, and it fell off the tracks

the sunroof had a horrifying "click" when being vented, went away

the antenna coax some place, has either disconnected, or is broken... there is a loose/bad connection, somewhere (I get ZERO stations where I live as is)

pass side headlight wiper doesn't move

when sitting in the seats, and moving them, horrifying noises

little suspension squeak from rear end, not horrible

Cruise control arm/stalk thing is completely shot, ZERO feel it it, as it just hangs there

Clock does not work

Outside temp display is going bad, I see +7(fuzzzzzzz)





overall, I'm happy, she gets a nice detail today

[Chad300tdt]

Very nice.

Will it be visiting PA in September?

[matthias08]

Well, i got away with taking the same car to 2 different GTG's (only because they were 1k apart)

so I guess.... if I were to somehow figure out a way to make it over that way in about a month. I'd most definitely be there.

its honestly up in the air at this point... I need to get sorting on this '87 tho!

****s not gonna fix itself
