Okay then ;
After yesterday's Desert parts marathon I didn't *quite* make it to work to - day although I did get almost five hours of sleep thanx to 500 Mg. of Ibuprofen .
I took SWMBO to the Dr's Office and then breakfast then dropped her off to go to the Gym with her girlfriend , decided what the heck and headed off Junkyarding ~
Gardena's tiny hole in the wall Self-Service yard had nothing (still has the '79 300D for $2,995.00 "! LIKE NEW ! " (not) .
So I headed off to Long Beach where LKQ claimed to have a W-123 Wagon in the rows , guess what ? . not one W-123 , I barely glanced at the few W-126's as they don't have the window lift i was looking for .
I headed over PCH to the East Blinn LKQ and Lo ! they had ONE lonely old 1977 240D in China Blue with a Parchment interior , manual windows of course but I was able to score some really hard to find hardware and electrical parts .
Then I kept walking and found a early poop brown 1980 W116 , it only had one window lift left and guess what ? it has the same part # that's stamped into the broken right rear window lift in my '84 wagon so I removed it and bought it for $40 .
I wasn't able to make the motor work on the old Junk Yard batteries but I have a good motor at home , all I need is the non bent , not stripped lift assembly proper . I can't want to get a moment to try it out .
I also found where SWMBO hid the good used third row seat belt so I'll try to clean up and install that soon , then I'll only need one more , left rear seat belt .
Whew .
A good if tiring day , I left out the boring bits about accidents, traffic and so on .
