I've gotta figure a way to link to the video...
but like I said, it's got a few curses in there... I'm not sure it's wise to post it on here.

yup, that's the 72 travelall, and it's claimed.

the video has too much cursing... it did not go well, and expletives popped out onto video... I don't know how to edit audio, so I'm not going to be able to post it on the forum.
sorry.

You can mute the audio if you have Video editing software, I think there's another way but I'll have to check on it

I made it out to John's house today. I was greeted by a 98% stripped MB sedan that was overturned on its roof, and a Camaro up on the car hauler. Good times!
I wanted to put some new boots on my axles and to get a few parts for my 300TD wagon. I also planned to help strip some cars while I was there. I helped pull most of the interior out of a 124 and got a fuel tank out of one of the wagons to replace my damaged tank.

I want to thank John again for the reboot and the fuel tank! I wish I had more time to help, but with a baby due any day, I need to make trips like this shorter than I'd like.

well, I got the shell loaded on my trailer, got the pathfinder chained down to the 2nd position behind the camaro in front, so I've got 3 more cars loaded for the scrapper... I'm making progress.
it's now raining, so progress will slow. it's not supposed to stop raining until friday...
but the weekend looks to be PERFECT stripping weather!


EVERYBODY NEEDS TO COME AND GET SOME 123/126/124 PARTS!!! or entire cars!!!!

Well, I cant come being as its 1000 miles away but--I really really need both drivers and passenger side console mats in palomino for my 85 190d. I think I could make any model fit since they would all be larger than I need. I would gladly pay reasonable plus shipping.

Did you crush that "rust free" 85 300DT with no drive train that you suggested I do a swap?
