Yeah the exterior is kind of interesting but the interior is like a base-model

Re: [MBZ] Random AF

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I think I've probably seen the same video. The one I watched said you could fit 
7 in a shipping container so the pro move was to get 6 friends to buy with you 
and save on shipping.

The ones around here start at $6k, I've been tempted to buy a couple for $3500 
each delivered, sell one and get one for cheap.

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

> Probably an upgrade - didn't Jim Cathey replace small incandescent bulbs
> with LEDs some time ago?

I have not.  The only model that suffers is the 123, because it uses a styrene
light pipe.  All the others put the bulbs a lot closer to the action.  IF you 
had
a bright LED that happened to aim at the light guide, and got the polarity
right, switching might be an improvement on the 123.  All I did was clean
things up, and line the light guide with shiny aluminum foil, IIRC.  Was a
marginal improvement, but when you are on the edge, sometimes marginal
is enough.

Plus the usual rheostat games.

If you screw up and use a halogen lamp, all you usually do is melt the styrene
and ultimately make the problem worse.

Re: [MBZ] Random AF

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Its surprisingly easy and inexpensive to import a car from Japan. There are 
lots of websites setup to help you with the process.

I've been playing with https://carfromjapan.com/ to look at the little Kei 
trucks. I'd like to get a dump truck for the farm but the ones I find are beat, 
they want bunch of money or its beat AND they want a bunch of money. The Kei 
trucks are less expensive and of a size that will fit in all the places around 
the farm. I suspect it's a really buyer beware situation though since you can't 
inspect the vehicle in advance...

[MBZ] 2007 ML320 CDI project - $2,300

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Tow hitch, interior looks pretty good considering the miles. Would need to find 
out what the codes are for.

Wonder what caused that area of crackled paint on the front third of the hood? 
Car bra?

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

My W116/W123 dashboards are not as bright as a modern car, but bright enough. I 
don't like a bright dash anyway, I feel it interferes with my night vision 
(don't get me started on the blinding blue/white light of modern car 
headlights).

My W116 dash is all or nothing right now, it works with the brightness at max 
but any other setting it's totally dark. The rheostat is probably dirty.

People do the LED upgrade to get more lumens out of the lamps. I guess it

even if they’re marginal at their job.

Yep, ran into that putting LEDs in my Honda Element. Suggest you determine
the polarity before installing, and mark it somehow, so you know which way
to install them.

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

It may have improved but the problem with LEDs in the dash used to be they emit 
a very directional light. Dash lighting depends on light reflecting from the 
edges, or passing through diffusers or "light pipes". With LEDs, you might get 
spotty lighting, or even very little because the bulbs are not pointing the 
right way. With incandescent bulbs that wasn't an issue because they cast light 
in all directions.

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I think it would be very difficult to tell if you had put LED bulbs into the 
dash other than the dash being easier to read.

I've never driven a 115 but the 123 cars definitely benefit from LED dash bulbs.

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I did it in both of my 240Ds. The only pain point was that the sockets are 
keyed yet the LEDs will only work when plugged in one way and IIRC you have to 
put the pod in to test it.

 The LEDs gave the brightness of xenon bulbs without melting the housing. A 
definite improvement on a 123 car. I never bothered on a 201 as their dash 
brightness was better to begin with. I don't know about the older cars.

Re: [MBZ] Random AF

I like that. I always wanted a 60's XJ6 but have been smart enough to 
not buy one. It is too small and I don't want whatever the brand is but 
I like the styling.

I like the PT Cruiser but have not had one of those either.
I don't like the little Chevy whatever that was similar as much but I 
liked it too.

I liked the 40 Ford kit on the VW bug.
