Re: [MBZ] Hate finding this stuff
I love to watch my FiL screw with his boat. Just smile and have happy thoughts while he berates Gump. The poor fool built one himself and has spent the past two years attempting to sell it. No takers because it looks like it was a class project in wood shop on the inside. Upgraded to a 42 footer that he reworked. Can't afford to keep fuel in it with the price of diesel. I tell him to use vegetable oil just to watch him turn red and have a fit. On Friday, February 17, 2006, at 11:17 AM, Jim Cathey wrote: She could be a boat.

I think she is going to try to nickel and dime me to death or at least until she looks FABULOUS! It's a car, innit?

Re: [MBZ] Hate finding this stuff
$150 is pretty good for an engine! If it runs, that's even better. There are a few PNP yards within 20 miles of my house, so if things get bad with this little 220D engine, I'll certainly be checking into that. Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon 1973 220D project

Well, I got the pan installed and she runs great. Gump is back and ready to go. Wash up the mess that all the oil made while exiting and give Gump a bath too. Clean up the drain holes for the air vents, and while looking... I see this bolt hanging a good inch out of where it belongs. Dang exhaust holder bolt has worked its way out and lost the nut on the back. Rubber bits are poo poo too.

She could be a boat. That would be a total waste, since the boat would sink.
