cool pics!

I wish I could have gotten the chrome part of the front bumper in that 1984 benz there. I will look for it here in Columbus.

I was talking about the chrome on the top of the front bumper. I am not sure if thats possible to replace or do i need a whole new bumper assembly?

i think its part of the bumper it is still there

Its not really important right now.. infact, I would like to do some "treasure hunting" myself at the yards

But if you see it in very good condition, i might be interested.

I was at the bone yard in December searching for a electronic HVAC heater control panel for the '88 Toyota Celica (new price was $1100).

Out of boyish curiousity and adventure I wandered over to the Mercedes/ BMW/ Audi/ VW/ Saab/Porsche section of the yard and unfortunately saw soo many cool cars of the 60's,70's,80's, & 90's including some Euro MBs that made it over to the US to die...even spied a mint set of E-code's placed on a 220 or 230 Diesel!

Well, I didn't find the Celica's panel, but had a great afternoon playing in the boneyard.

Oh- I didn't find any of those Pop-Up/ Folding Orange Reflective MB Hazard Triangles that folks seem so fond of recently!

yes it is sad but at least they had a section in this yard they are mixed in with the rice and everything else

Dan,

What haven't you dismantled on the Bimmer?

Sad story... good luck on the quest for finding a 500sel at an affordable price. You will find it eventually

Where is the junkyard located, (where you took the photos in the original post)?

I am right over near Orlando, about 30 minutes down I-4 from you.

Thanks!
