Conspicuous by it's absence is the price.....


He runs a shop yet doesn't put it up on the hoist to show the supposedly rust free under side .

 This is just like my car. And hes saying the exact same thing I have been saying, too low geared for the exact same reasons. These things scream over 70mph and you really can get by without using 1st gear. Really good mountain car though. I have a 1980 300TD parts car I could swap in the rear gears but I don't have near enough energy or desire anymore. Wonder how much he wants for this car? max

[diesel_mercedes] Old Diesel Fuel

 

Notice the car used is *much* older that the W123....


I wish the in tank screen in my '84 Coupe had been that clean ! .

I used alcohol and a tooth brush to easily clean it, lacquer thinner is *EXPLOSIVE* so be very cautious with it .

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Old Diesel Fuel

 

Wow. Notice the rear axle. Thats a old one. my 1959 190D was like that. I wonder why I have not had these fuel issues. I have a 300 gallon tank for my generator/tractor and once I had the same fuel in it for 7 years. I did notice harder starting. I filled it it up and added some of that silver bottle Power Source cetane boost and had no problems. Now since I've learned about the cetane boost I use it all the time. I do have a  clear filter for one of my filters(I use 3 filters, one is a very large tank filter/water separator) and have never noticed crud like Nate gets. Over time it gets dis-colored but that seems to be all. The fuel on the left in the video almost looks like off road. Max

[diesel_mercedes] Seat Belt Service D.I.Y.

 

For my Coupe I bought a deep cheap bucket at the Dollar store and some soft bristled brushes and a fingernail brush plus a package of clothes pins .

I used Meguiars #40 plastic & leather cleaner / conditioner but I'm sure most any upholstery cleaner will do the truck . I'm now out of Meguiars and don't know who stocks it so I'll prolly try foaming upholstery cleaner from my F.L.P.S. next, I really want to do the Wagon's belts before another buckle gets broken .

I slid the seat back until the bucket lined up  with the seat belt where it hands and unspooled the seat belt as far as it'd go then used the clothes pins (3) right where it comes out and let it fall into the bucket, sprayed the webbing liberally and worked it into the fabric with my hands .

I then left it to soak for an hour before coming back and spraying it and the brush with the cleaner then I used the brush and my hands down in the bucket to prevent spattering the seats or carpet with dirty soapy crud, to gently brush the belt, working from  one end to the other .

This isn't hard but the belt keeps wanting to crease or flip over  in your hands and it's very important to not skip any parts of it .

Then I wiped it with clean rags, rinsed out the bucket and filled it with warm water about 3/4 full and  put the belt back in & worked the brush all over it again , the water turned dead black so after a while I used two fingers to wring the belt as I pulled it out, dumped the dirty water and re filled the bucket, I did this over and over until I got clear water with no soap, dirt, bubbles floating etc. in it .

Then I used more clean dry towels to dry the belt and looped it over the back rest and let it air dry ~ the belt's fabric is synthetic so it only took a few hours to dry .

The Sedan , I removed the entire belt and retractor for cleaning (picture was of the belt in my kitchen sink) , I can detail that too if you'd like, it's not difficult .

I hope this helps .

-Nate
