i will have the Beemer, the euro 500SEL and the 300SE. i am going to buy a 300TD on monday if it is up to my standards. i will likely go through it and fix what needs fixing it and sell it.
the 300SE is going to get a valve job this week and it is going to be sold, i tried to sell it a few months back, but i was doing a check before the buyers shipper was to pick it up and noticed a lot of coolant crust on the head to block surface, so i refunded his money after telling him of what i found, it was on ebay, so i didn't want to deal with an upset buyer after the car had already been shipped to brooklyn.
i am doing the timing chain all the tensioners and the waterpump on the 500 this weekend was getting a slight rattle at times, when i pulled the valve covers, that was the cleanest valve train i have ever seen, car has 144K on it. must have been well cared for
