Got a 92 300E to keep me busy
Got a 92 300E. $650.00 and saved it from the crusher next week. I found this one and thought this would be a project me and my old man would have done and I wanted to keep his memory alive now that he's gone. He had a 300E just like it and I couldn't resist it. The 92 300E is 040/168A. I had it towed to my home today. Put a battery in it and cranked. Runs nice thru the gears nice. Film pictures I took yesterday I dropped off last night to be developed, will have some nice ones of it later to put up! It will need a suspension overhaul soon.
Replaced so far
1) Battery
2) Fuel filter
3) Spark plugs with good used ones till new ones arrive (non-resistors)
4) Dizzy cap, rotor and wires with new ones I had never used
5) Flex disc
To-Do
1) R/R all the fluids & replace all associated filters
2) R/R upper timing cover gasket & valve cover gasket to fix oil leaks!
3) R/R rheostat
4) R/R front pads
5) R/R wheel bearings
6) 96 E320 wheels I have with good tires later today to spruce it's look.
7) Detail the interior later today and go at it with a carpet cleaner.
