Oil cooler hoses is a fun job, not.

A while back I smacked a curb stone whilst parking and the front wheels were toed _out_, this of course caused me to wear the outer edges of both front tires to then through the steel belts, ruining two year old tires (face smack) .
I decided what the hey, I might as well scare up some correct original alloy disc typ 14" wheels so I can retain the original hub caps .
A nice guy in Bakersfield who'd hipped me to my European Spec. Wagon a while back, sold me a set for $60 each . a lot of $ for used wheels yes but I think it worth the $ and effort for a car I don't plan to sell . these ally wheels weigh about 1'4 what the old steelies did .
I bought a set of new ' Just So ' tire stems from The Mercedes Classic Center and a pair of brandy new Michelin HT Defenders (!$ ouch!) for $225 the pair mounted and balanced then drove it two doors over to an original BEAR Frame and Alignment Shop where the nice Man told me there's no rear wheel adjustments to be made on the W123's and he said the entire front end is nice and tight, looks good, charged me $50 and it now goes in a straight line again and doesn't follow cracks/pavement edges anymore so I'm happy .
Of course, while I had the rear wheels off I noticed it's time for new rear brake pads ~ there's always something to do, right ? .
I hope that next week I can change out the leaky oil cooler hoses .
