Tom and I were out hunting parts & I found a really clean W-115 Gasser , it even still had the Becker Europa radio in it , I took the grille as this is the very last Mercedes that has the star on what appears to be a radiator cap . they dinged me a lot for it but it'll look great on the wall of my garage .
I also found a very nice 1982 240D with minimal front crash damage , it had new glow plugs and other misc. parts (heater valve (! $ !) , I'd love to yank the engine & tranny out of it for SWMBO's 1982 240D as her needs both engine and tranny rebuilding , I've been nursing it along for years now but it needs help to be right .
Of course , by the time we were leaving because the sun was fully up and it was 90 + ° F , I spotted an old 1979 anniversary model MG Midget , this of course is the _only_ year equipped with the American Spec. 3.72 final drive ratio so had to stop and yank it out , in the dirt , in the blazing sun..... I'm lucky I found it before anyone else did .
