Re: [diesel_mercedes] 1987 300 TD wagon for sale

 

Jerome, I'd LOVE to have this car.  Certainly, the price is right.  But, since moving to my wife's dreamhouse, I'm having to cull my herd.  (You'd think having a half dozen classics from the '80s would help classy up any neighborhood, but, apparently, not all of the neighbors are so enamored....)

I know it is bad form to reply to my own email, but I've received no
interest whatsoever from anyone about this car. It appears that no one
wants it so it's going off to be sold as scrap unless someone steps in
and takes it.

It's free. Such a deal. You'll just have to wait a little to get it
until I have my new car. Possibly before Thanksgiving.

I simply used a wrench for both the wire and the socket. I then reamed using a socket on a flex extension at worst. .  Time consuming but possible.  Lawrence Rhodes
