Dolly got four new tires from Wal-Mart. All four tires cost about $200.00 plus tax. I paid that much for one tire on my E430.
I got a surprise when I removed the front wheel. Dolly has drum brakes up front. I was expecting discs in front and drums at the rear.
I have a set of front disc brakes from my parts car available. I wonder if the value of originality is greater than the value of better technology available on the higher priced 220Sb. Dolly has the Pierburg 34 carbs that make 95 horsepower instead of the Solex carbs that make 110 horsepower. Again, asking myself if originality is preferred over higher quality Mercedes Benz options that poor Dolly didn't have from birth. The 220b model wheels have body color paint rims with simple hubcaps, I have extra sets of "beauty rings" that the higher priced models have. Do I dress up Dolly or keep her original?
Penny for your thoughts...
