Geepers, if I take the radiator and oil cooler out and the fans, ect out, remove the throttle rods, the EGR and associated vacuum, the battery and cables and leave the air cleaner off and then get on a step ladder on top of my garage, I could get a pretty good picture also - maybe not quite so shinny!

Mom's car, but I won't let her drive it!

You seem pretty good at this JT, will you come over and swap out my sway bar for one from a TD??

I will consider it.... if you buy my spare sway bar and take care of the round trip flight from my home state to you, with an extended lay-over in Mexico.


Yeah. I am pretty excited about that now that you mention it.



I can't expect you all to know the amount of time I have spent on this wagon the past 5 months / 3 years and forward. But short of repainting and window seals... I think its been covered. (sometimes twice)

So, its not just a pretty picture. There is a long, elaborate story behind it.

i feel so dirty looking at that pic so intently.

We'll ship you a w108 for you to re n're the heater box and blower motor afterwards.

From what I understand, after that the w123 swap will seem like Saturday morning cartoons.
