Update: fixed brake line leak (hard line), using a cool trick known as compression fitting- worked like a charm. What sucks is (and what I have read), is that brake fluid is highly corrosive. So the leak was on a line right above the resonator (that other muffler looking thingy deeper under the car), and burned a hole in resonator. Not sure how brake fluid is corrosive, when lines are made of metal?

Anyway, I remember seeing a 250 with its muffler hanging out in a junk yard in MD a few months back. Went there, still there and pulled it. Should have payed closer attention to the engine bay...turns out it was a w115, and muffler is a single pipe and w114's are double. Out of curiosity I went to muffler shop...500 for custom (pass).

Also, replaced every fuse and sanded down contact points... still no electric window power. I think next I will pull out volt meter and start digging. Jim Freeh says firewall behind Pass side (saw them), gonna look there...if power, then maybe look to interior switches per Idles rec.

FYI: also, replaced headrests, dash cap, coils, plugs, plug wires, oil/trans/radiator fluid, swaped to euro headlights and the ever so lovely subframe/sway bar bushings and with spares I had laying around (car was resting on subframe-bushings shot). Awaiting front bilstein shocks, and euro front plate from holland and will re-time/sych carbs on day off this tuesday.

I'll post some pics soon as I get some time.
