And if you have cores, I'd love to take them off your hands!

Man, I can't believe how close it is!!!

No need to apologize. I would hope everyone takes advantage of being able to help each other out with parts, advice, help, etc. Every year there's been at least one car that leaves running better than when it arrived.

One of these years I'll make it.

You'd be pretty much guaranteed to will the award for the person who came the farthest to get here.

Chad.

I just don't see any way possible for me to make it there this year.

I was hoping I'd have the Ponton and trailer deals sealed. I could deliver the Ponton and drop the trailer en route to you place in my project truck.

And it not because the buyers and I haven't done our work; I mean even if I had the Ponton and Trailer deals sealed, my diesel Dakota is without AC at present.

I would be deaf from the wind noise if I drove up there with the windows down.

Maybe my presence will permeate from your very nice looking 300SDL.

Not to mention there's stuff to do in Philly while you're up here...

I'm bringing the 85 300SD with Proton riding shotgun.

I think now it would be about 10 or so. We could have called it a tie.

Got my baby back together yesterday so no reason it won't be at the GTG!

Looks like I'll be running a Benz parts adoption service at Chad's GTG. A local Benz hoarder has sold his last car and is getting out of the (hoarding) biz. He's planning to dispose the of high dollar stuff (euro headlights, good wood trim, etc.).

Next Thursday I'm picking up the remaining items and planning to bring them along to Chad's in an effort to help others and save them from being scraped. Not certain if I'll have time to inventory it before the GTG but I'll do my best.

Say, he wouldn't have a seat belt presenter assembly for an ' 88 300CE would he? Need the whole assembly for the passenger seat. How about center console wood? Mine's cracked. I have an old pair of W124 rims (off the 88 CE) I'll bring up if anyone's interested in looking. Not too bad. Center caps included. Price negotiable. (Isn't everything?

Nice! I'm always looking for things to add to my collection of spares

Can you check and see if he has any early Bamboo W123 front seats?

Mistress · #**1032** 08-10-2012, 01:12 PM

airbus · #**1033** 08-10-2012, 08:43 PM

I hate to make promises that I can't keep... again... We're leaving for Germany the next day, and I will get in trouble if I'm not home and help my wife pack... But again, I'll try... I'll bring Christine...
