I'm here. Disappointed in the lack of a digest.... it resulted in 250
emails sitting in a bulk folder. No problem, though... just need to keep
an eye on that folder. :>)
BTW, I've had the body fixed on the 86 300SDL I'm selling and had it
resprayed. It is not a 904 blue, but it is not too bad. I've got to
clean the interior and I may put 'skins on the front seats, install the
new airbag and balance the tires.
After sanding it down, the body was not as bad as all that. Only minor
surface damage. I replaced the RF fender and had them cut out and reweld
in a new section on the RR quarter panel. Smooth work and all surfaces
were primed with an inhibitor. It appeared that the blemishes and
bubbled paint were the result of too much paint being used before and
moisture got under it. I had the old sunroof seal replaced, as well.
Even the rust on the leading edge of the roof (just ahead of the sunroof
itself) was just minor... the paint was just bubbled. Seems that the PO
had painted over the sunroof seal and it cracked the paint, allowing
moisture in... thus the rust.
It is not a restored car in showroom condition, but is a great car to
use for family trips and the like. I would feel perfectly safe in it on
a cross-country trip and have taken long excursions in it on many
occassions (Dayton to Santa Fe, NM & back in 1999, Dayton to Cape
Breton, NS, Canada in 2000, and yearly trips to Charleston, SC and
Alabama as well as one trip to Orlando in 2001... all as smooth as can
be with no troubles or woes and consistently got 28-30mpg.) It has about
167k miles on it. Everything works on it except the cruise control,
which I've never used.
It has a new factory battery, great brakes with extra pads, a new air
bag (ok, it's "used") as the one it has in it has the cover cracked, a
smooth-running engine with a newer vacuum pump, new A/C compressor with
R-134 (cools down well in 90 deg F heat) and Conti CH-95s. I have all
receipts for the work I've done to it since Oct 1998 (when I purchased it).
I'm gonna restart it at about $6300 & I am willing to negotiate. The
market is all over the place for these cars. Auto Trader has them from 5
figures down to the $1500 range (not sure what they really sell for). It
runs very well, shifts well (crisply) and as everyone knows, is a great
road car.
I will dearly miss it, but I would like to get something smaller as I
only use it anymore to go back & forth to work... city miles. If I have
to keep it (if no one is interested), I will restore it.
Please reply back to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]
