Besides routine maintenance, I retrofit in a passenger side airbag on my 300TE.
I polished and waxed the heck out of the 300TE and 300SD. I acquired just about all the components necessary to substantially complete the 280SL project.

Well, I was going to wait until I completed everything I wanted to get done before I did a post like this, but then I realized I may never finish all the jobs I have planned. Anyway . . . for this summer,
Bought the '83 240D and managed to get it home, since then: -degreased the engine bay (what a mess) -replaced starter -replaced tie rods -replaced motor mounts -replaced anti-vibration "T" mount -replaced headlight and all fuses (new ceramics) -got some Hazet wrenches and did a valve adjustment/replaced the valve cover gasket -got a MityVac and diagnosed some vacuum problems -replaced fuel filters -new air and oil filters/oil change -refurbed the dash light rheostat so I have dash and console lights In the process of: -rebuilding the clutch (new pilot and throwout bearings, pressure plate and clutch disc) Waiting around the corner: -replace CV boots and replace diff oil -replace rear brake hoses and flush system -replace front upper control arms -replace font lower control arm bushings -replace lower ball joints -replace exhaust/intake manifold gasket -fix parking brake -flush and replace coolant -replace the hood pad (or what used to be a hood pad) Haven't done much to the '95 E300: -replaced the serpentine belt tensioner spring Need to: -change out the trans filter and fluid -replace motor mounts If I just had a week to do nothing else
