Not to be nosey, but are you going to visit family Don? I myself am heading East at the end of the week. My buddy bought a 300D in Maryland and another one in Manchester, Tenn. The one in Md. is a runner so Iwill "rental" out and drive it back to Mi. Then we will grab either the trailer or a tow dolly and head to Tenn. to pick up his other one.

The reason I'm being so helpful is that the non-running car comes with a turbo head to put it back together and he isn't going to use it! He's just going to swap engines out of his daily driver and put it into the one he's buying because it's in better shape! I will get the head to put on my Wagon! I'd rather do all that driving than pay $800 for a head anyday I guess between the two of us this will make 4 Mercedes and 2 VW diesels from ebay this year...maybe I ought to just fix up my dually and go into the car hauling business. ( maybe advertise on ebay or something)
