Picked up a rare rear cargo divider/cover assembly for my 1987 wagon. Wrong color, but a cool option. I had to take the one of the rear seats with it as it forms to the brackets where it's mounted to. $20

weather is just pefect here! Cant wait to get dirty again!
Thanks guys, looks like some good scores!
I have a perfectly good front fender, but, the color is off. Looks like it had been painted years ago. Would be awsome to find one in the right color and just swap them out
Thanks for the well wishes

Discoverd a pair of Euro W123s at the Virgiia Beach Pick-N-Pull. Scored a complete set of Euro bumpers off an '83 Euro 230TE, with all brackets, skirts, boot, etc.... for my '84 Euro TD. Mine had been converted to 5-mph bumpers.
Also got the correct non-turbo speedometer off a Euro 300D to replace the incorrect turbo unit that's in my wagon now.
Best deal was a manual heater-AC box from a 240D, complete with blower and controls. Someone had already pulled the dash and freed-up the unit. So all I needed was to disconnect a couple wires and cables, and carry it out. And it was 'Half-Price' day so I got it for $12!

Happy Motoring, Mark

It's mounded in keyhole-slots, push to the side and it un-latches. Then send it to me.

Today I was at the PNP east of Carson City,NV. removed both headlight doors, and the L/F Euro amber/red fender light off a W116.

From an 83 300D, removed the valve cover, fuel filter head assy. with the #02 in the part# with the 2 "O" rings.

An almost new Expansion tank. and the wiring harness from the left head light assy. the one for the fog and headlight. the one end has the pins for the harness plug. usually the white flat plastic piece get cracked and broken, this one was like new.

Wasn`t a lot of MB at this yard. was one 190E, only thing I noted that was good, are the front rotors, looked sort of new.

It had a tan tex & beige cloth with some holes in the driver's seat. Rest of the interior was pretty decent. Unfortunately, that car is long gone. The PNP here only keeps them for thirty days!

Took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to get it off in the yard! Everything else on the car slides and hooks, I should have remembered that!

With that option I think it comes with the differently formed seat back, for those two mounting brackets that are recessed in it. That's why I took the whole seat, as it's part of the "option". I'll get a pic and post it with the carpet off the back

How much is it worth to ya? I know it's getting rare to find . Light/med Grey
