My 88 300E Update
I bought my 88 300E with 200K on the meter, some minor repairs and this thing has been rock solid in this frigid Indy weather. Never fails to start even on the first crank, idles good no pinging unusual noises from the body and or suspension. I was seriously thinking of buying a newer version but with the way this thing is working I DON'T think so, if anything I might just get some cosmetics on the body taken care of, upgrade the headlights and just run the wheels off the thing.
Best of all its paid for I'm completely amazed, my mechanic took the valve cover off and inspected the components and was amazed at how clean it was, the chains have no slop, only minor thing is the tranny has a little quirk when shifting cold but goes away immediately after warming up. She is a keeper and come better weather she is heading to the body shop for a face lift! Last edited by mercy485; 01-04-2011 at 06:31 PM. Reason: Typos |

What I did not bargain for is the sun roof works without the slightest hitch but my mechanic cautioned me to not use it except for maybe to pop it up not to let it go back because the belt could break at anytime with the age of the vehicle. |
