Since the tranny crapped out and I've been without the car, I feel like my right arm is broken. |
I like your reciever mounted platform. Did you fab. it yourself? Bet you did being a rancher. I use my 1985 TD like a pickup too. I got 150 pcs. of 24" x 24" limestone that I dragged home in my wagon 50 pcs. at a time. I recently bought a new washer and dryer at the Sears outlet and had measured ahead of time to make sure they would fit in the back of the wagon. The guys at Sears were all laughing until I slid the washer and dryer in to the back of my wagon and drove away.
My biggest problem is that every time I need to take the kids anywhere I have to put my center seat backs into the car. I have spoken with some Dutch and German guys who tell me that these cars were used more as light trucks in Europe than as family cars. The W123 TD had SUVs beat before SUVs were ever thought about. Can't wait until I get my trailer hitch. It is on it's way from Holland.
