"Everything" working properly.
Under 100,000 miles**
Every service done by the book.??
Driven only to church, 200 miles away and back, every Sunday since birth, then garaged, in Arizona, in a

Nothing wrong with dreaming. the person with no dreams is dead, they just haven`t burried him yet.

It`s good you have it written down on paper, it makes it more real. now you have something to shoot for. otherwise it`s a fantisey (sp).

I heard a guy say one time" you only get out of life what you focus on"

"The reason most men fail, is broken focus".

I have made out my list too, now where did I put it

I have some of the things on your list in a pile in the shop to go in my 85 300D.

M-pump
mechanical sun roof
heated seats (but those are going into the 84SD)
alternator (finally installed al-129x)
manual climate control
85 300TD sway bar
out side temp gauge
Sanden compressor mounts & brackets
2:47 diff

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

A heated garage in Arizona? Isn't that a little redundant?

I'd go with smokes tails if you must have modified lenses. I like the original tails and corners, though, I think. Definitely need euro headlights, though. I just found a fire extinguisher and bracket for my W124!
