[diesel_mercedes] Junkyard Fun

 


it was supposed to rain to - day so I cancelled all my plans and drove to see Rob who set me up with a solid alternator pulley and some turbo parts, I want to overhaul a pre 1983 (non A.I.R. valve) turbocharger and install it and some non E.G.R. manifolds to my Coupe, there's some fiddly little peaks & tweaks I want to try on the next turbo .

Afterwards I hit a couple LKQ yards that had 300D's languishing, sadly they'd been there a few weeks and so were somewhat stripped, in one I found the two 'B' pillar bottom covers in Palomino, those were $1.29 each (!), at the other I discovered an original block heater cord intact, not too many cracks in the insulation, I'll see if I can heat shrink it then install it on one of my W123's, I bought two new ones elsewhere .

Then SWMBO called me and said 'get your butt home and make a pot of chili !' so I did, it didn't begin to rain until 2:37PM .

[diesel_mercedes] Paint Work

 



? Did he mix in house ? .

Most body shops use one specific paint supplier, ones that can do really good paint matching are rare and a  god send .

I think you gave me that shop's info , not sure what I ever did with it, my poor old Coupe's getting really long in the tooth now and I need to find a competent, reliable and HONEST painter.

That is what impressed me about the San Dimas body guy (Ronnie?). He matched the paint on the new fender perfectly - could not tell any difference at all.
