Re: [diesel_mercedes] Pick-A-Part Fun

 

I saw a pristine 1985 w123 wagon today. Unfortunately it was in the fast lane of the #5 freeway and I could not catch up to ask the driver how much he wanted for a rear door.

So , Tom and I went out for my walking exersize and it turns out it was the big 50 % off sale day , I'd forgotten , we went in and it was a total zoo .

I was able to find & buy , a freshly rebuilt BOSCH brand 100 ampere fan cooled alternator for $16.50 including core charge =8-) . I discarded the cooling ducting in the yard much to Tom's dismay ~ maybe I should try installing this too , I guess running the alternator cooler can only be a good thing .

Sadly , some a$$hole had deliberately broken off every single hood start then bent & destroyed every single grille on the 50 + Mercedes' in the yard .

All in all a nice day out , I'm still looking for a W-123 Station Wagon to buy the right rear door from in case anyone happens across one .
