wow John,
that sucks. i can *maybe* come out on Sunday the 18th to help move stuff, grab some parts (i could use a few oddball things for my 85 wagon), etc. keep me/us posted and i'll see what i can do.

I'm in.

Why don't we make it a giant PP event somehow? It would be great to meet the gang.

Maybe some people might even come in their diesel motor coach/airport shuttle

85SD 240K & stopped counting. Looking for all 3 grey seats to go in my SD (anything from a 126).

I have an "appointment" scheduled for this thursday to meet with an inspector...
I may be able to reschedule it...
I got a letter from the city stating that they recieved a complaint concerning "motor vehicles and debris"
the meeting is to verify the complaint... over 45 vehicles... I think it'll verify...

I DO have an 87TD that will need to go!

and an 84 240D 5SPEED with red cloth interior! (and a broken camshaft...)

an 84 300D turbo diesel with a 4 speed attached to the engine, but no shifter, pedals or driveshaft...

also, several parts cars, 123/126... 2 123 wagons... both non running.

a pair of chevy 6.2 trucks...

I want them all properly in the hands of benz lovers before I'm forced to have junk dealers hauling...

help stripping and storing parts for future sale/supply would be fantastic.
