Let the market decide.  Take photos, be honest - and if someone is
desperate you can help 'em out.

[MBZ] A dilema

2017-03-23 Thread clay via Mercedes
I have been getting Allen more presentable these past few weeks.

Today I installed the driver seat to replace the broke down one somebody 
painted, with what looks now, to be house paint.  The old seat functioned 
electrically, just tried to swallow your back end.

I had to visit the PnP to source the nut that I cut the bolt from and scrounged 
a few parts from the 560SEL that had donated the driver seat I want to install 
in Polei.  I got door pulls, the parcel shelf cover, a few check straps and 
some other minor items.  Oh, and the seals that protect the Gen II fog lamps.

I pulled a set of Gen II w126 headlights a few weeks back, forgetting that 
Allen was Gen I and I wanted to fix the missing headlight door in this manner.  
The Gen I fogs were not in the best of shape having a bit of rust at the 
bottoms and cracks in the Bosch glass.  I now see that the Gen I fogs are NLA.  
There are Three (3) on all of fleabay.  

Dilema.  Do I put them on fleabay and try to help some poor soul keep his old 
W126 from looking horrid, or should I just toss them in the scrap heap?
