[MBZ] A Work Associate is in the Fold ("83 00D euro)

[Bob Rentfro]

A work associate just called and told me he bought an '83 300D euro, 192K
(not sure M's or Km's), $1500. Crank windows, manual hvac (cold AC), white
with blue cloth, operable sun roof, pretty much complete. Says the coolant
is green (seeping froma hairline crack on top hose nozzle), PO has the vac
lines on passenger side of firewall plugged, says it flares a little before
it kicks down when you tromp on it.  Says it has a little vibration at
certain speeds.I'm sure he will have more to report to me after he drives it
a bit. He asked me to come and drive it next week, I already gave him the
Marshall Lecture (diesel purge, change ALL fuses, and drive it like you
STOLE it). I'm going to invite him into our world.

Kaleb, do you have blue cloth drivers seat? Got euro lights for that (he
say's they are cracked but they both work)?

TELL HIM TO GET A NEW RADIATOR IN IT TOMORROW -- that hairline crack  
is a dead upper hose nipple and it's gonna break off and fry the  
motor.  And put Zerex G-05 coolant in it, too, else he's gonna be out  
a water pump housing shortly.

Brass and copper radiators used to be available for those cars.  Same  
price as the plastic and aluminum, but don't fall apart with some age  
on them...

Will probably  get what Rusty has if we get shut out at the boneyard.
Finding new headlights might be a challange.

Do you need new headlights, or just new lenses?

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Yes, I have a PERFECT set of blue cloth euro seats.  They just so happen 
to be in my euro 84 300D with heated seats and manual trans.  I need to 
do the engine swap on that car soon.

The Euro headlights I have in our '82 240D/3.0 have replaceable lenses.
I've ordered them before, but don't remember from whom.
