It has a #14 head
It is cracked
Therefore all #14 heads are cracked.

Incorrect by logic!

But here it might need to be investigated.

By the rules, there is one posting, the original, the other 19 are to be deleted as they are commentary.

My sentiments exactly. I'd rather be completely forthright about what I know about the car. It's a good car and I'm sure that I'll find a home for it if I keep trying.

If it wasn't in Canada I'd be very interested. But finances right now (IE tuition) are tight

I've decided to keep the car. I'm going to pull the CH in Sept and go from there. I intend on getting it mechanically fit first and then I'll attend to the cosmetics.

Thanks for the bump here fellers. This car is still here and still in the same format as described. I also have a '90 W124 wagon (gasser) in the same colour scheme that can be had with the purchase of the diesel wagon for weight value- I won't sell it until the diesel goes...
