Do you have ANY idea how many parts I have that fall into that category????

I grab stuff that people might want, I pay a monthly storage fee to store the stuff, and then I get offers like $10 for the entire 603 exhaust manifold. Okay, maybe it was a bit more than $10, but you get my point.

I've got an entire blue interior from an 85 300D....except driver's seat. I've got 2 or 3 extra blue w123 front seats --- early pattern and later pattern.

I've got a bumper for a w107 or 108.

I've got a bunch of old stuff......


........


.....I'll stop my rant, now.

I hear ya! The Euro light switch bezels are uber-cool, though. I was ecstatic on my last trip to Germany as I finally found one for my W124. I grabbed a couple of W201 ones as well because, well, they were there and I could; they're small, and an easy part to pull, so why not? It's a euro-specific part, so kind of a no-brainer.

But yeah... I know what you mean on hoarding parts. My wife rolls her eyes when I haul this stuff home, and my garage is bulging at the seams. I need to do a mass clear-out of car parts!

I'd buy the headlight switch and bezel as my Euro has been converted to the NON-Euro rear fog light one and that one has the rear fog light detent. I need switch and bezel with the wheel. I don't want to put a price on another's time or goods. Shoot me a PM with what you want for it if it's still available.

Car has been crushed --- I still have the sun visors with clips and the center dual zone controllor.


Anyone want a special deal?

What's the function of the rocker switch to right of the hazard?

I'm guessing defrost and/or compressor, am I close?
I've got this setup on my 84 280SL, but the comp is shot, so I've not had first hand knowledge....

The heated window\snowflake switch would indeed be the rear window defroster.

If that's the case, what purpose does the far RH rocker serve?

I strongly suspect it's the compressor on/off switch, just has an unusual marking that makes me wonder why it's a double throw.

Actually that turns on the air conditioner or the front defroster.
