Just wondering if the are any DIYers in my general area who might want to hook up to share skills and knowledge occasionally? Sometimes just talking through a project on the phone prior to starting a project can make it go a lot smother.

Well, you are a little too far from me to GTG.

But, if you are undertaking a project that I have personal experience with on the SD, feel free to PM me with any questions. If they get to a point where a telephone call is necessary, that will be perfectly fine. I'm happy to help anyone with something, if I have previous experience with the task.

Feel like pulling the head soon??

If he's like my wife he'll say NO!
(was that out loud??)

Phil,

On this medium you will get the best advice anyone can offer ,from ANYWHERE
on planet EARTH!

This was just an idea. I thought it could be fun to discuss projects, share knoledge etc. with other diesel heads in this area. I've done as much as I can on my cars for a long time and now with this MB I'm finding that I am just having fun doing it. Sometimes just being able to point to what parts need to be moved or whatever during a project helps. This site has the best most generious people of any site I have ever found, its just nice to know who else is in your area. Yshahar I lived in San Anselmo, next to Fairfax for 20+ years and my kids still have friends in Woodacre. I now live in Petaluma (not far from Ara T.) after a 5+ year stay in Tampa, Fl. Ara T have you by any chance found a good wrecker in S.R. for MB parts?

i am just down in hayward myself.

actually planning to relocate to the 707 w/in the next year.

but yes, that sounds cool. i am no joe mechanic (or even close) but I have been doing some work myself when i can. was even inspired to buy a big craftsman tool set.

I have a habbit of ordering all kinds of project stuff and then letting it sit in the box collecting dust.

been hoping to take a bunch of it up to clearlake next time i go up there and tackling whatever i am motivated to tackle.

drop me a pm and we can exchange numbers and e-mail

cheers,
scott
