Do you remember that saying - "there is nothing more expensive than
cheap Mercedes"? Multiply that by 10 for a cheap airplane.

Subject: [MBZ] Misc work on the 04 E500

I’ve been prevented from doing much with the former Floyd E500 as I had rotator 
cuff surgery about 3 and a half weeks ago. But today I changed the cabin air 
filter under the hood, was able to do that one-handed. There was a fair amount 
of accumulated pine needles, tree seed pods, and general muck in the space 
below it, which I sucked out with the shop vac. Also replaced the broken engine 
air intake flex tube on the right side. Removed the front piece of the engine 
cover, which is cracked, and JB welded it. If that doesn’t hold I’ll shop for a 
replacement on the bay of fleas. Removed the rear piece of the engine cover and 
will replace the engine air filters and reinstall tomorrow.

[MBZ] Day 4 - CL600

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Again, work got in my way of any really significant progress, although I was 
able t put two coats of the ceramic coating on the car. Steam cleaned the trunk 
liners and carpet, so that’s done and back in the car. Steam cleaned the 
carpets on the driver’s side both front and back as well as cleaned out all the 
nooks and crannies on either side of the seat.

The big surprise, and there are always big surprises when you get a new (to 
you) car, was the trunk license plate panel.

As most of you know, the panel where the license plate is mounted is different 
for NA cars than the RoW, since our license plates are smaller and a different 
size. I had noticed this panel was a bit loose, which I attributed to a missing 
screw, one of two that hold the panel in place. Or so I thought. Turns out 
there are eight M3 studs with nuts that hold the whole panel on, being bolted 
through the trunk lid. Not that it matters, but on the W215 chassis the trunk 
and front fenders are fiberglass to save on weight.

So I popped the trunk lid liner so I could get at the nuts on the studs that 
hold the panel on. The studs are clipped to the panel through a subframe or 
bracket that was, at one time, glued to the back of the license plate panel.

I pulled everything out and laid it out on the bench. I had all the broken 
pieces and fasteners, so I mixed up a batch of JB Weld and went at it.

The mounting frame is now setting up with the JB Weld to be reinstalled to the 
trunk lid tomorrow. While It’s out I’ll be cleaning the area on the trunk lid 
it covers. May never be off the car again, but at least I know it will be clean.

I’m hoping to get the car in the air tomorrow so I can inspect the 
undercarriage and get the belly pans reinstalled. I ordered a right rear ABS 
sensor from FCP Euro early this morning and it’s already shipped, should be 
here on Friday or Saturday. Hoping once that’s installed the funky instrument 
cluster nannies will go away.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Snowmageddon

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

No more smug feeling than when your backup plans are working well,
and you're warm, snug, and dry.

Loved it a few years ago when the power had been out for a few days,
and the neighbors came up for dinner.  They had: candles.  (No doubt
gluten- and cruelty-free.)  We had the (evil, fossil-fueled) backup genny
running, so we had (wood) heat, lights, water...  They stayed for hours
before trudging back home in the dark.  Basically tent camping in their
own home.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Snowmageddon

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

Now, today and tomorrow it’s going to rain all over whatever snow is left. 
It was 80 here today but it started drizzling about an hour ago messing up my 
three perfectly pristine vehicles, only two days out of the Martha-thon I had 
last weekend; wash, clay bar, and wax plus interior detail on all three.
At 63, that is still as fun as ever but it  isn’t as easy as it used to be. 
Very evenly sore, I am.

 Subject: [MBZ] I can't pass it up
 
 This friend of mine has a 97 Suburban with like 350kmi on.  She has
 always had it stealer serviced since new.  Put in a new transmission 4
 or 5 years ago and had lots of other stuff done with it.  It's actually
 in pretty decent shape, no rust, body good, clear coat peeling, good
 tires, tow package, but has a few little issues, nothing fatal. It's the
 same colors as my 96 pickup that was my dad's so hard to tell them
 apart. It looks nice.
 
 A year or so ago she bought a GLK and had this thing parked at the Vast
 Estate while she bought a new house away from here, moved, all that.  So
 a few weeks ago she decides she wants to get the Sub fixed up as a spare
 and I drove it to the stealer again.  It was not a high priority so it
 sat a bit, they finally got to it, did an oil change and diagnostic on
 stuff, $278.  They came up with a $3500 estimate for radiator, hoses,
 (it is slowly leaking some coolant from somewhere) belt, and a few other
 odds and ends.  Again nothing fatal but stuff that is reasonable to do.
 Stealer pricing!
 
 I had told her at some point she didn't need the thing but she had
 nostalgia for it and wanted to keep it but this bill scared her off.
 She offered it to her daughter who has no interest in it.  So today she
 asks me if I still want it.  I tell her it depends on the number.  She
 talks around it all a bit and I tell her she can let me know, we can go
 get it, I'll keep it around, whatever.
 
 She finally says $500.  We'll go get it, you can pay for the work, give
 me the other $200whatever and it's yours.  Deal.  How could I pass that up.
 
 So having just bought that GL450 for towing I'm thinking this old Sub
 would be better so I should sell the GL on and use the Sub for towing.
 Choices choices, but for $500...

Subject: [MBZ] I can't pass it up

This friend of mine has a 97 Suburban with like 350kmi on.  She has
always had it stealer serviced since new.  Put in a new transmission 4
or 5 years ago and had lots of other stuff done with it.  It's actually
in pretty decent shape, no rust, body good, clear coat peeling, good
tires, tow package, but has a few little issues, nothing fatal. It's the
same colors as my 96 pickup that was my dad's so hard to tell them
apart. It looks nice.

A year or so ago she bought a GLK and had this thing parked at the Vast
Estate while she bought a new house away from here, moved, all that.  So
a few weeks ago she decides she wants to get the Sub fixed up as a spare
and I drove it to the stealer again.  It was not a high priority so it
sat a bit, they finally got to it, did an oil change and diagnostic on
stuff, $278.  They came up with a $3500 estimate for radiator, hoses,
(it is slowly leaking some coolant from somewhere) belt, and a few other
odds and ends.  Again nothing fatal but stuff that is reasonable to do.
Stealer pricing!

I had told her at some point she didn't need the thing but she had
nostalgia for it and wanted to keep it but this bill scared her off.
She offered it to her daughter who has no interest in it.  So today she
asks me if I still want it.  I tell her it depends on the number.  She
talks around it all a bit and I tell her she can let me know, we can go
get it, I'll keep it around, whatever.

She finally says $500.  We'll go get it, you can pay for the work, give
me the other $200whatever and it's yours.  Deal.  How could I pass that up.

So having just bought that GL450 for towing I'm thinking this old Sub
would be better so I should sell the GL on and use the Sub for towing.
Choices choices, but for $500...

Not sure I appreciate the gaudy burlwood in these cars.  Much prefer the
vintage zebrano et al from the 70s and 60s

[MBZ] OT: Snowmageddon

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

20+ inches of the white stuff on the ground, power has been out for 2 hours 
now. I finally deployed the emergency power unit, a battery and inverter which 
gave us internet again. 
The wood stove was already fired and I had lit an Aladdin lamp to heat my 
office so we're all snug and warm.

Planning to take the groomer out for it's second run of the season on Thursday 
afternoon, can't let this much snow go to waste...

Sweet. I'm still kicking myself for not buying Kaleb's suburban a couple years 
ago. Woulda made a sweet camp truck.

[MBZ] I can't pass it up

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This friend of mine has a 97 Suburban with like 350kmi on.  She has 
always had it stealer serviced since new.  Put in a new transmission 4 
or 5 years ago and had lots of other stuff done with it.  It's actually 
in pretty decent shape, no rust, body good, clear coat peeling, good 
tires, tow package, but has a few little issues, nothing fatal. It's the 
same colors as my 96 pickup that was my dad's so hard to tell them 
apart. It looks nice.


A year or so ago she bought a GLK and had this thing parked at the Vast 
Estate while she bought a new house away from here, moved, all that.  So 
a few weeks ago she decides she wants to get the Sub fixed up as a spare 
and I drove it to the stealer again.  It was not a high priority so it 
sat a bit, they finally got to it, did an oil change and diagnostic on 
stuff, $278.  They came up with a $3500 estimate for radiator, hoses, 
(it is slowly leaking some coolant from somewhere) belt, and a few other 
odds and ends.  Again nothing fatal but stuff that is reasonable to do.  
Stealer pricing!


I had told her at some point she didn't need the thing but she had 
nostalgia for it and wanted to keep it but this bill scared her off.  
She offered it to her daughter who has no interest in it.  So today she 
asks me if I still want it.  I tell her it depends on the number.  She 
talks around it all a bit and I tell her she can let me know, we can go 
get it, I'll keep it around, whatever.


She finally says $500.  We'll go get it, you can pay for the work, give 
me the other $200whatever and it's yours.  Deal.  How could I pass that up.


So having just bought that GL450 for towing I'm thinking this old Sub 
would be better so I should sell the GL on and use the Sub for towing.  
Choices choices, but for $500...

The shadows on the photos really prevent one from seeing much at the 
bottom of the car.
It does look like there might be a rusty spot just behind the right 
front wheel.
