Been busy!
I had a long chat with the PO, and soon I will have all of the service records, original car phone, antenna!
Love that kinda stuff!
I got the temp tags, so I have been driving it, and getting ready to smog. I drives so beautiful! It feels faster than my son's W124's, and yet has a great tight ride. Gonna drive the gas out of it, and change the fuel filter, and refill with some "Top Tier Gas"!
Its a real testiment to why we love MB from this era. Well built, and worth the extra work!
I spent a couple of hours at the Junkyard yesterday, and found a replacement tail lamp lens, a cassette holder, and center airvent and surround to replace broken bits.
You can see that the RH vent is missing the control knob, and the RH lower corner of the vent surround is broken, and the LH cassette holder is crunched. too.
The taillamp lens is punched in on the inner corner.
Also found a pair of mirror foot trims that were not cracked like mine... reall happy about that!
Heartbreaking to see so many MB's in there but pleasing to see 300+k miles on odometers! One 300E had 396K on it, and had been rear ended to send it to the graveyard!
