Np, you are welcome. I would probably remove the cell phone, it's analog and even if you found a carrier, the prices would likely be exorbitant compared to a regular digital phone. It even looks cheesy, with the long cord and all...so very Roger Moore era Bond, if you know what I mean.

You're right though- can't imagine it being a cheap option back in the day.

210 seats may hold up well this driver's seat is an obvious replacement. The factory doesn't do pleats like that. I'm guessing you could take that into a good shop and get it fixed up for a reasonable labor charge / no materials charge.

The Mitsubishi Phone in my 380SE cost $3,000.00 in 1984. Worth Zip today. So I removed it but haven't removed the controller from under the rear deck yet. It's on the list though.

The little cubbyhole on the left, behind the wheel arch- is that standard?

I just have a hole. Would be nice if I could order that.

As for your pedal, check the little throttle pot in the engine bay - it should have a spring, it may have an incorrectly sized spring on it.

That looks sort of like an enclosure for a CD changer. Is that what it is?

I just turned 293,000 miles on my M104 and 722.4 transmission in my '94. Change the oil and do the tranny service at 30,000 intervals and you'll get to 300,000 miles easy.

Wow! That's impressive! I am doing in average 12K miles per year. If my ride holds up like yours I'll be good for another 15 years. I hope so.
