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.

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...

I just started my new job 3 weeks ago so it is difficult to get off. However I live right next to Dulles Airport in Northern VA just outside Washington D.C.
Next week I am driving to Delaware to pick up some seats I bought from a member here. My family owns a commercial building ( empty ) near Cambridge Maryland close to route 50. I do not know if you remember but awhile back when I needed some storage you offered. The building has a garage door at one end and on a major road so access is good. This is a free offer for any member that can help VsTech sell and or move rather than destroy these vehicles and parts. If anyone is heading north and travels near Rte 50 in Cambridge and someone else will be heading that way anytime soon let me know you are welcome to park and or store for another to pick up ( kinda like a baton pass in track) I am still making calls to see if I can come down but it does not look good.

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.

Don't give up hope, you may get 30 people showing up at the last moment.
Several of my tech sessions have been that way.
