Hey Joe - how's the SE been for you? Last I heard you and the daughter took a cross-country road trip in it - had my fingers crossed on that one... how many miles do you think you put on it?

All - I'm the PO and have some more of the history if anyone's interested. I liked it a lot.

Thanks Scott
its been a fine car - maybe I put 10-12k on it . I should have taken your que
= as I LIKED THE CAR - my daughters ......not so much .

The valve rocker assembly started to rattle and I 'VE STOPPED DRIVING IT .
Could be simple issue - but have to many projects and as stated above lost my space and now my desire. Will hold on to the "rat rod " w108 and thats enough !
Thanks for checking in

Fellas
As stated ( hopefully more precisely this time)

I lost my space and ultimately my inclination to complete this and any other project. ([I] did you know you can lease a brand new 32mpg NEW camry
for....... $ 210/month - friggin cheap cheap. Drive anywhere ,comfy ,
good heat nice a/c - comfy like
no tools , no grease, great stereo , 65mph ,75mph no shake rattle roll and no oil stains on driveway
and no maintenance cost for 3 years .)[/I]

God oh how I hate to say my wife is right


so I have one incomplete project car
how incomplete is it you might ask?

most of the bull work is done - newer engine in place
- radiator in
- transmission in , gear selector mechanism hooked up , electrical hooked up
- coolant lines hooked up
- distributor electrical hooked up
- new fuel line in place

What needs to be done ?
- vacuum lines to carbs
- electrical to carbs
- electrical to front fan, and front fan
- all a/c components
- gas tank and sender
- check brakes and hoses.I have all the filters, new fuel strainer and hoses and belts

** I estimate this to be 20,30,40 hours worth the work - some guys are faster than others , different levels of expertise **

Not a whole lot of cash to get this up and running.From this point i believe you'll have a decent running car that can be driven and enjoyed
I have all the filters, new fuel strainer and hoses and belts

Its a 40 year old car - Im sure there are many more hours of fun to come
all provided at no extra charge

I lost my space , the car has to be out of there by THIS COMING SATURDAY
SUNDAY AT LATEST.
The car at the Farm - howard county md route 70 and 32 has another week
- its pretty well picked over - no engine or tranny
the only asset is the blue interior - VERY NICE
- its not worth taking after that , would'nt pay to haul away - dont think - but if you want it its all yours
- just spend a few hours take the interior and I scrap or you can take with you


The 1989 126 is a decent car. A runner . Will need a head gasket in time and more immediate attention to valve rocker assembly.Its rattling. I stopped driving it until i could get to it . There has been no time for it.
I have extra rims but no tires - at this price your need tires
I m keeping the current rims and tires that are on the car.

Let me know fellas - its gotta go

today is Wednesday 2/29
I have time today , Friday afternoon and Saturday

Scott

Thank you Gregg
The Mighty Hogweed saved the day
Thanks again Gregg - nice meeting with you and best of luck with the w108,
the 126 and my cherished tool box :)

nice picture!

Kudos to you both. Sounds like two happy campers.

i know i am....i can't wait to go back for the parts car (and maybe another burger....)

for those of us keeping score, i now have two of the three cars back at home, thanks to joe's gracious partial delivery of the running/diving 300se!! the third car was also supposed to arrive today but the gent that i contracted to tow it here decided it couldn't be done....."but wait!!" you might say...."don't you HAVE a way to tow it yourself?...i saw the picture of your truck....." good questions, but i spent $150 in fuel going down and back, and this fellow was going to bring me the car for $255:eek: on a tow dolly......but alas, i may have to go get it myself:cool:
