Tom, Happy New Year
I hope "Braun" is good to you. It did ride well when I had it..still tight and quiet. Let me know if you're passing near or thru; like to see it back on the road!

Ok. I plan to do something with the paint, not sure what and get it into tip top condition all around. You gave it a good start. Too bad the motor didn't work for you.

I'll post pics for sure.

Might, just might be able to get a top job, or possibly a recoat of clear..just a thought. Good to hear it's got a good home. Just turned 316k on 300sdl and got 2nd badge!

Speaking of badges.....completely off topic, of course......I have something for you.

The motor is in the car now and running fine. He could not test drive it the other day without the wipers because it was snowing pretty good. I am getting a motor and combination switch here tomorrow so next week she should be up and driving!

I'm getting excited.

I have been taking either my 3/4 ton dodge truck or my wifes (ugh) PT cruiser on trips. This car is slated for trip duty!
