My Beige 87TD will be getting new delivery valve seals, new glow plugs, arv removal, ball joints, and a replacement Ram in the rear, I also think I'll replace the flex discs.

Well about a month ago I started polishing my girls paint. The trunk, roof and hood were pretty dull compared to the rest. I found this great color back polish that you could use to restore color, then wax over to seal it. Did the trunk and roof, they looked great. Never did the hood. I think I'm going to finish that, get the whole thing waxed, and give her a good cleaning in and out. The get new lower control arm bushings installed and get alignment done. Gonna get her some new wheels too. Now that I list all of that out, she's in for a good christmas!

Hopefully new plugs, valve adjustment, ip timing, oil, and all filters. Then a good cleaning, maybe even some waxing, and if I'm feeling really ambitious a vacuuming and maybe even shampoo

A new life?

I bought an 89 300E and its turned out to have a dead cylinder and its leaking to crancase (bad piston). I initially though I would just bail on it, part it out or whatever, but as ive cooled down have decided I would pull the head and see what I find. If the cylinder looks okay im going to toss in a good used piston and valve guide seals and run the wheels off it.

And I thought you'd gone all nativity...

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

I would say a new blower motor, but let's be honest.... That's for me, because it is freaking cold and wet here, and I am tired of not being able to see out of my windows.
