Clay bar’ed and waxed the car this morning. No need for polishing as the finish is good and I don’t want to take any of the clear coat off.
The car has definitely been repainted at some point in its past. Not a bad thing, just something I noticed as I worked on the exterior. Now that I have the exterior pretty much in order, I’ll move to the interior and get the carpets clean and clean the interior thoroughly. For the most part it’s not bad, the headliner is a little dirty, but otherwise this should be a fairly easy job. Looking forward to seeing what under the rear seat cushion yields. The PO did leave about $5 of change in the ash tray. Nice! After the interior is done I’ll get the car in the air and do some work underneath. I’ll probably flush the brakes, as the fluid is almost black. I need to check the transmission vacuum modulator, as I suspect that’s the source of the hard shift issue since all of the vacuum lines topside look OK and to be in the proper positions. In my down time I’ll start getting a parts list together to sort out the breather tubing on the intake. I have GOT to sort that out, as it’s making me crazy looking at it. Antenna doesn’t work, either, so I need to pop the aftermarket head unit and see if it’s connected properly before I tear into the antenna. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
