Last week I extolled the virtues of my cheap WD-40 fix of my door checks (still working by the way). Today, I will talk about my $3,600 not-so-cheap fixes to Martha, our 1983 300d. We got stung on some stuff, and did OK on other stuff, but overall my wife is happy, and that is priceless. First, all of the front end bushings, joints, mounts, arms got replaced. Second, the rear axles got replaced. Third, new shocks all the way around. Fourth, that drivers seat that kept wiggling got tightened down, and the broken air canister t-bar got replaced.
Yes, I could have done it all for half price but it would have taken weeks of my time. Maybe I am just too old and tired to do the heavy lifting anymore, or just too lazy, but again, the tipping point here is that "my wife is happy" and that makes my life more peaceful. Now, it is time for me to get my bones in action to do a little work on Mary (air cleaner and t-bracket replacement).
