Re: [MBZ] 123 300D Engine/Trans into a 116 300SD

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

To do this as a complete drivetrain swap would certainly be the easiest and 
most painless way to go about it.

You do a test fit to check on the major items like mounting points and for 
clearances, get those sorted, then in the whole thing goes. Once it's all in 
place and bolted up, you start sorting the details.

That's considering that you swap whatever over that you need between the test 
fit and final install.

Re: [MBZ] Grease off concrete

[clay via Mercedes]

Oil eater takes some time to actually eat the stuff.  I found it best as a 
solvent for cleaning engines or other mucked up bits.  On the ground it does 
not really act swiftly.It will consume and loosen grease/oil.  Then, dish 
soap does that as well.  I used metal bristle brush to loosen the gunk on the 
cement.  Hosed it down until the surface shmutz was off.  Stain remained.  Coke 
poured on the stain and sunlight over a few weeks made it go away

[MBZ] OT dem Gullah peepuls

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

Some of y'all have indicated an interest in this interesting bit of our 
country and cultures, here is a show that you might want to watch.

 Film about South Carolina’s Gullah history picked up by PBS

Anita Singleton-Prather stars in "Circle Unbroken," a film about Gullah 
culture. (Anchor Media Group/Provided).


A film produced in the Lowcountry about the origins of Gullah culture in 
South Carolina was recently picked up by PBS stations nationwide.


“Circle Unbroken: A Gullah Journey from Africa to America” is a part 
musical, part documentary film produced by Ron Small. He co-wrote the 
script with Anita Singleton-Prather, a folk storyteller known along the 
South Carolina coast for her educational performances about Gullah 
history. Singleton-Prather and her troupe of performers, the Gullah 
Kinfolk, star in the film.


The National Educational Telecommunications Association selected the 
film for distribution on PBS stations, and each of those channels will 
individually make decisions about when it will be aired.


SCETV, the statewide PBS affiliate, has already scheduled a premiere 
broadcast at 7 p.m. Oct. 5.


“ETV has always had a soft spot for Anita Singleton-Prather, (our star) 
and the work she’s done to promote the Gullah culture, so they asked to 
be our ‘presenting station,’ which gives us more clout in the national 
arena and allies us with a powerful force in broadcasting,” Small 
explained in an email.


“Further, the broadcast license is 3 years so each station can show it 
as many times as they like. Hence, we expect a huge cross-section of PBS 
stations across the country to broadcast the show numerous times,” he 
added.

That would be a 220SEb Coupe.  There was no such thing as a 220Seb/c made.

The car is a 220 SE, the lower case b was added on paper only (never 
on the trunk)  to distinguish the 111 from the Ponton 220SE.  Like 
the /8 was nowhere except on paper.
