S'matter of fact I know where there is one. I don't know if its in any kind of
shape or actually for sale but its on a lot and has no plates. At least it was
there a month ago...
I can go check on it next weekend if you like.
For what its worth my '81 300TD was an outstanding driving car excepting that
it was a basket case. I'd love to have one that wasn't entirely beat to snot. I
know a guy thats got an older pre-turbo one with a 4spd. I need to get a chance
to get behind the wheel of it.

I am really wanting to drive the 87 TD. I haven't found anyone with
one
around here yet. I think the 2.5 is fast. Anyone have one in RI or
MA?
I'd like to see one.

So I did finally get finished, just no chance to post an update.
Getting the seat back in was a BEAR. The nuts are those clip on things and
they kept sliding out of the way. Finally had to go out and get a 1/4" ujoint
socket as there was no way to get the rear bolts in without it. With the ujoint
it was no big deal. Seat is now very comfortable. I spend at least 8 hours a
week in that seat so this will be very nice.
While I was at it I filled a hole in the upholstry with Shoe Goo and covered
some thinning MBTex in the back rest with some too. Hopefully that'll keep it
from erodeing. I'd have changed it if I'd noticed before I got started... I'd
hate to do that job again so I'm hoping for the best.
The keys I found weren't even Mercedes keys, 2 housekeys and 2 GM car keys.
Into the trash with them...

Curt-way to go. Fixing the seat in my 240D was the best investment I
ever made. I spend about 6-12 hours a week in that seat and wish I had
fixed it when I got the car t instead of doing the spring padding, etc.
Were any of those keys steel keys? Can't wait to see it at the
ChowdahQ.

Hello all -
Some may remember the problems I was having trying to install a new
Hirschmann Antenna Mast as the old one did *not* want to come out! I broke
down and removed the panel then removed the housing. I popped the cover off
and had to partly disassemble the internals. Had to remove the motor/gear
mechanism and the guide tube. Finally removed the old mast by pulling it
out thru the housing! It had a ring around the lower mast section keeping
the mast from coming out from the top.
If anyone runs into a similar problem with a mast let me know and I can send
detailed instructions.
My new mast (from Rusty) works like a charm - going up and down - but the
motor is still noisy.
Glad it *over*!!
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)
