That and if you enjoy being ghosted regularly after someone contacts you. This 
seems to be a requirement for both buyers and sellers on FBM.

Does Cars & Bids require exclusivity for the auction? If not you can always 
claim subject to prior sale if it’s not going to hit your number and bail.

Of course the plan was to get it running fairly cheap and flip it for about $3k 
or so. It’s actually pretty nice except for the paint burned off the top. It’s 
silver with blue leather, with the leather in great shape.

Re: [MBZ] Potential issue with the 116 fuel tank project

2022-11-06 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I ran my HF scope down there and I can see where it comes out. I did discover 
the vent line (or what I assume is the vent line, that goes from the bottom of 
the tank on the outside and goes inside at the top, appears to go into sort of 
a rectangle like deal in the top of the tank. From there it has lines inside 
the tank coming out each side and I’m not sure where those go. What I’m 
assuming is the return line that is plugged appears to go inside the tank 
toward the sump, but I can’t tell where it comes out. There appear to be 3 hard 
lines running along the top of the tank and I’m not sure where they go or what 
they are for. For all I know that line does not end at the sump but could be 
one of these lines. I have discovered these tanks are a lot more complex than 
meets the eye. 

I went out to the bone yard and pulled a speedo cable out of a 124 that did not 
have an engine in it, so the inner cable just pulled right out. I hooked that 
to my drill and it got to the spot and stopped dead almost like it’s hitting 
metal. Same as the wire, it also felt and sounded like it was hitting metal. 
Perhaps the line takes another turn at the sump and that is what I could not 
get past. I kept squirting carb cleaner and running the drill with the speedo 
cable in it. Honestly it didn’t feel like it was doing much, but perhaps it was 
and did didn’t seem like it. After spending all day on it, I squirt some more 
carb cleaner in it to let it sit until next weekend. It almost sounded as if it 
was flowing somewhere. I applied some more air and sure enough somehow I’m 
getting air thru. Possible success. After the tank sits and the coating dries, 
I will see if I can flush the lines out then wash the tank out with water and 
to check it for lead. The inside of the tank looks great tough.

Next week I hope to get it back in the car and need to blow the lines out 
before hooking them back up. I got to thinking that hopefully the injectors and 
fuel distributor is not all fubar. If so, I’m not really sure if it’s worth 
proceeding with.

 If you chuck the wire in a drill and have it rotating, like Grant said,
 it will go in easier. Whether that will be easy enough to go all the way,
 I cannot say, but it's worth a try.

You said the outlet was near the sump, didn’t you? Any chance you could get an 
inspection mirror or a scope in there to see if it’s clogged or clear?

This is where my el cheapo Chinesium USB endoscope really comes in handy.

Dang now why didn’t I think of that. That would be perfect. I had an old one 
laying around here but I think I may have thrown it away. 

I could not get the music wire past the first bend, it’s too stif. I then 
stripped out an individual strand out of a 10ga romex cable and I could get it 
worked down about 2’ and it then comes to a dead stop. Wire is flexible enough 
to make it past the curve in the pipe but just bends when it gets so far. Let 
me see if I can find a Speedo cable laying around.

I am trying the music wire now. It is fairly stiff but as soon as it goes it 
it’s got a 90 degree turn inside the tank. It seems like I might have made part 
of the turn but am hitting a block. It might have made part of the turn but but 
the whole thing. I may try a piece of 1 wire in a romex line. It seems like it 
would be more flexible but depends on how solid the blockage is if it can push 
thru it or not.

At the moment I have poured in the sealed and rotated the tank to coat all 
surfaces, after that was done I took the air hose to blow out the 2 lines on 
the bottom of the tank. One of them is the vent line that goes to the top of 
tank. It passed air fine. The other one which is the fuel return line 
apparently routes to the inside of the tank opening up near the bottom main 
supply line to the fuel pump. I assume it connect into the baffle area that is 
at the bottom around the fuel outlet. I can’t get air to pass at all. I’m 
betting it got closed shut at that end by years of fuel sitting in it and the 
end is probably coated in rust/varnish. The cleaning probably did not get to 
that very well. Now that the sealer is already in the tank, I now realize I 
should have checked that before doing the sealer. I guess I need to find some 
stiff enough to snake thru the line and hopefully clear it. I Thani a regular 
snake drain is way too big. I think I may have a piece of music wire around 
here that might work. Any other ideas?

[MBZ] ‘84 500 SEL…Green, Kaleb

2022-11-06 Thread Bob Rentfro via Mercedes

Awfully aggressive rip in the seat for <100k miles.

Re: [MBZ] PERVIOUS OWNERS WIFE SMASHED BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS AND SLIT THE TIRES WHICH WAS ENOUGH TO WARREN A SALVAGE TITLE

2022-11-06 Thread G Mann via Mercedes
Previous owners wife did enough damage to warrant a salvage title.. which
means the insurance company totaled the car.. present owner then bought the
car and replaced all the damaged parts...
I'm sure that was a "happy marriage"
