you have too much time on your hands!

See what you can find me in Central IL - Peoria, Springfield, Bloomington, decatur area. I found my current car in decatur - it wasn't even listed as an MB - just "mechanics special" - the pic was the 240d - said it could run, but hadn't since the glow plug relay went out.

I called & he said the brakes were sticking - turns out the wrong thickness pads were installed.

I am getting mine close to reliable - maybe another week. Or even this weekend if I get the tools in. I need to install the flex joints, motor mounts and repack all the wheel bearings.

After that - its cosmetic and little stuff like the odometer and central locks.
