I'm about to rebuild the motor and replace the seats and carpeting on the SDL. It's got ~316,000 miles on it and I hope to use it to replace the 190D as my daily driver for te next 15-20 years. Wish me luck.

KaRaKaN- Thanks. We all get compliments on all our cars. The W123 Series are very nice cars. Here's a link to group shots I made. Unfortunately I didn't have my 300CD at this time. I need to make new ones sometime soon.

Here is Helga overlooking Lake Tahoe. I took off her badges to buff out the trunk and hadn't put them back on yet...She is an 80 240D.
Unfortunately I am donating her to a charity, unless someone comes up with $500! She needs a short block as #'s 1&4 cylinders have pockets worn into the walls, and #1 leaks at idle.
New chain and redone head. Starts right up!

240 Ed-
Those are both very beautiful cars, especially the 240D, is that the original paint? It's very odd to see a mercedes without the badging.

-Jamie

Whenever I see another coupe I just don't wanna sell mine. Until I find another one nicer that is. In fact I haven't seen another nice one in a long time.

I kinda wanna check out the 36k mi. 300CD that Hatch & Sons has
www.hatchandsons.com
It must be a beauty..

hahah thanks Peyton, but it hides a lot!

-rust
-non operative rear windows?
-sunroof problem
-oil leak, which I'll look into in the next few days
-A/C leak...

hehe the only reason why I still wanna keep it is that the body is in good shape especially since it's a NE car.. and it has a strong engine, tranny. It drives well and has a very clean interior!

Daimler;

the 240D has been changed from its original red, to a very pretty burgundy. I wish I knew what color it was so I could get some touch up paint.
A moot point as I must shuttle it off to the charity. Seems no-one
wants a car which needs a little bit of work.

The coupe tears at my heartstrings. It is such a pretty car, no rust, new paint, sunroof works fine, AC too, but needs a quick charge. New Avon tires, idler arm bushes, heater controls, etc. Too cheap at $3800, but there you are...

Holson-
I was taking a look at your photos of the CD. I like that wood grain shifter you have. Did you put it in? Where did you get it from? and how much was it? I got a front license plate for my car as a Christmas gift from my brother. The same brother also gave my father and other brother a pair of door cupholders. My mom got my dad new mercedes floormats. Did anybody get anything for their car for Christmas? I would really like a wooden shift knob though.

-Jamie

P.S. Merry Christmas to all!
