ya, nothing small about a 69 dodge... ya can put a full size toolbox on either side of the massive wide v8 under the full 90° opening hood...
ya can stand up in front of the radiator fan and change the spark plugs, and you can reach all 8 of them from either side of the motor, or from under if you feel like it...
it's big.

I would like to have both front fenders off the black 93 300D if anyone is willing to pull them for me. The right should have the vents and the left would replace mine that was dented in a storm. There is no way I can get over to the coast, wish I could.

Send me a pm if anyone is interested.

PS: could also use a couple small interior items from it as well.

everything that is possible to be removed from the cars will be removed, and stored in my loft, or sold to members that arrive for the party.
I can set the fenders aside for you for shipping after I have satisfied the city's orders.

ok sounds good. I need a speedo head from a 90-93 TE 4-matic, but doesnt look like you have one.

Interior parts I need are center console wood and black glove box door with wood trim and matching panel right beneath it.

I learned the hard way that you just can't try to stuff an '87 glove box door in a dash that had an airbag over there

the TE should have the same ratio as the 2.6 E300 I have? no?

Nope, only the m103 TE 4-matic... according to GSXR's spreadsheet.

everybody be sure and PM me for directions/address for your GPS, and contact info!

OK, I've got a progress report for you all!
I've been working with my younger brother all day today, and got the sable, an astro van, and one of the GM diesel trucks gutted and loaded on the hauler for the scrap yard in the morning. 3 down... 30 some to go.
I'm going to get some pics of it before I get out the driveway...
I also loaded the bed of my pickup truck, and my 12' trailer with scrap computer cases, and assorted other scrap (86 yamaha virago 1100, and two honda riding mowers...(they didn't run))

another update...
I bought two 20 quart coolers with spouts for gatorade, and such, along with a decent chest for the other beverages...
I gotta fill it with something... I'll make a poll thread to choose what needs putting in the 41 can capacity cooler...

Anyone going to box up a w123 5-speed conversion kit and put it on a greyhound bus? Price?

vstech · #12 09-15-2011, 06:09 PM

Beverages?

I'm leaving today to take my 81 to akron oh. I'll have my tow bar empty on the return trip, it does look like it would add about 8 hours to my drive to put you in loop but it's possible.

vstech · #14 09-16-2011, 11:43 AM

... I have two tow bars available too...
