My E300 will be getting some "new" suspension parts from a Euro E55. Installing the following:
-Euro E55 Springs
-Euro E55 Sway Bars

Finally got around to install new monark nozzles and rebuild the injectors. Feels like a whole different animal now. No smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, engine purrs with joy and best gift to any 617 engine. I hope she is happy now, cause I sure am...:D

I got my 1981 240D a rebuilt heater evaporator vent box. Took it out and disassembled and cleaned it completely. New sponge rubber cord seals. All new foam rubber on the vent flaps, fabricated a few metal clips that rusted out that were not Mercedes available parts, Por/15ed and painted the ends of the evaporator coils to stop that rust, used coil cleaner to clean all the dust and derbis from the core fins and evaporator fins. Used CLR to remove all the caked up rust int he heater core, replaced all the rubber orings and seals with original mercedes replacements. Fabricated foam rubber gaskets when I could not order parts. Cleaned 30 years worth of cigarette smoke odors and an inch of ash out of the box. Now I just need to get my floor boards patched and Por-15ed and I can put it back in!

its a little late, but ill still chime in that my 240 is getting a long list of little things + oil cooler and transmission cooler lines + an oil pan......alltogether its $600 worth of stuff, including a fresh AMSOIL oil change and 2 gallons of their awesome coolant........i got the MB branded citric acid chrystals too, to properly flush before adding said awesome coolant.....wont have to change it again for a looooooong time...i intend to do the entire long process of doing the flush correctly, as dieselgiant is so nice to explain for everyone.....new thermostat too of course.....and as i said, a whole lot of small things too.....parts here on the 9th, cant wait to drive again ! (now off the road due to an oil cooler line blowing)

so my car's gonna be a happy car for yet another year of happy Benz motoring :D
