I just got back from Florida and found my new five speed kit for this car. I'll open the crate tomorrow and look at it.

I have gotten discouraged on this car. I am buying a clone of it from Jim Freeh which will be everything this car is not. So this car will be either sold at a loss or kept for parts. Its a good runner and driver with a pile of niggling and bigger needs. I have called off the stick conversion unless someone wants to buy it that way for a price that makes sense for us both. Or I can put the automatic back in it and hold the stick conversion package for the "new" car.

ooooo.... For sale you say?

For the sunroof get some 3M 2" wide electrical tape. It is a great temporary fix and *shouldn't* leave residue. Worked great for 5k on mine.

*EDIT* Just say you're canning it. Oh well, still tape it for the next guy

What all is wrong with the car? I've been longing for a W124 diesel...

It has rust repair, the sunroof is wonky and the ac controls don't work correctly. It runs and drives very sweetly though. I bought it planning to have a sound car which I would drive and not worry about details. The AC problem probably is what stymied me. Its ideal for someone needing a car with good economy and good comfort to drive a lot. It shifts very well too.

I dropped off my Montero plow truck today and picked up my 95. Damn, that 95 drives nicely!

Thanks Jim!

I had to put a new battery in the 95 today. Now I have to reprogram the radio. Is there any way to defuse this "theft" feature?
