[diesel_mercedes] Monrovia PAP

 

Today I went back to the Monrovia PAP. Here is what I brought home:
2 seal beam headlights at $4.00 each; 2 clear fog lamps at $9.00 each (the counter guy said $37.50 each, I said no way; he said but they are German, look it says Bosch; I said where is the yard boss; he said I will call him; I reminded said yard boss that I am a good guy; yard boss said "call them lenses" for $9.00 each). I am just changing out the old yellow fog lamps I never use and putting the clears in for better night time vision.

Here is what I left behind:
1. 2 300D tail light assemblies (I give them a grade of "B" only because there is age cracking on the white bottoms. I may go back and pick them up for my car, but I don't need them at the moment.
2. There are 5 or 6 240D Hub Caps which need clean up and repaint (2 yellows look good as is).
3. There are 4 or 5 Bundts with tires that look pretty good. If I needed a spare tire, or wanted to powder coat some more wheels I would grab these. They are on the car today, maybe not tomorrow.
4. In the fenced area (cars not released into the yard as title is not cleared yet), there is a plethora of treasures - 123's, 126's, 114's 116,s, and many more. These would make you drool and think of ways to be there when the forklift brings them out. Monrovia is looking better in my book, worth making monthly or quarterly checks.

Saw a really nice looking TD with all the right parts. Unfortunately, it was in the parking lot and the owner was inside the yard.

Monday, I will head for Ontario PAP (a sister to Monrovia) which usually has a good selection of MB's, and then to Pomona which is not quite as good as the other two.
