They were all very nice people, very accepting of a 25 year old MB keeping up with them

My 83 500 is one of the best finds in a long time...these cars are flagships...I have looked for a long time for a good deal...no rust...only thing is that mine was originally RED Signal red...but someone took the liberty of re spraying it fridge white...Someone also tried to "Bev Hills" it out...Chrome wheel well rings (removed them the second nite..) she has some Chrome 15's that have seen a better day, (AMG Mono's on order) and one of the most best coupes I have come across...when the seat belt extenders still work, (I love the way people freak out when they get in) and the car rides aas solid and quiet as my S500 after 25 years it has got to win you over...just had to vent...SEC's RULE!

I was thinking of HID's for my 300D but I am having an issue with the sealing on the passenger side glass.. I need to pull it and use some RTV.

You've really done a great job on that car, John. What else do you have planned for it?

What performance difference did you see with the MSD ?
What model did you use and with what coil ?
