O.K. , Tom and I went off to the Milliken , Ontario , Ca. Pick-A-Part where there were two 240D's and one lonely '83 300D in Tomato red that was really nice , I found rolling papers in it and roach burns all over the seats so I guess some stupid assed stoner jerkwad got it and ran it into the ground or got it impounded ~ this car was so clean and shiny , I could have sold it for $2,500 NOT RUNNING in about 5 minutes......
Sigh .
Of course it had been there a few days and so was heavily cherry picked , it turns out I need yet another engine oil pan for my beloved '84 Diesel Sports Coupe and this nice old Sedan had a brandy new one on it , still had the parts label on it .
When I removed it the inside of the engine *sparkled* ~ no sludge nor accumulated ash anywhere ~ seems a real shame , I bet no one will take that $250 engine with recently rebuilt injection pump .
I was able to harvest a new driver's side door check for my European Wagon , several really nice & tight inside door release handles and other small bits & bobs , lots of " problem solver " hardware .
Tom found a box of crappy Chinese tools lying in the dirt and in the bottom of it were some never used Mercedes toolkit reversible screwdrivers ~ wow , I'm always looking for those , I still don't quite have three complete tool kits for my three Mercedes' .
I was going to mention something else but I've forgotten what now .
C.R.S. strikes yet again .
