I'm pretty sure the crinkle stuff around the doors is a version of thermo formed plastic. Problem with thermo formed plastic is it will "re form" when subjected to heat.. Interior temps in a closed car can easily reach into the 120 / 140 F ranged which is the lower end of thermo form plastic

Perhaps - but who's to know? So what's your prediction on the high bid? I say a smidge over $100k. On Thu, Dec 27, 2018 at 10:24 AM Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > This car has been on the market at over $90k for the last year or so with > no takers. > > First, the

Re: [MBZ] New Car!

In the short term sure but based on other vehicles I expect to hold this one a good long time and many miles so long term it should come out okay. I paid way less than half what it would have cost new. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 10:41 PM, Curley McLain via

They appear to be large round rubber grommets that are forced into oblong holes, so I’m thinking I could go over to my wonderful neighborhood Ace Hardware and look in their “majik drawers” to find something that would fit. -D > On Dec 27, 2018, at 9:05 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote:

This car has been on the market at over $90k for the last year or so with no takers. First, the “restoration” was totally insane if they truly invested that kind of money into it. Second, many of the people who would care about the provenance are dead or no longer driving. And I have it on

[MBZ] Remember Ed Sullivan? 280SE 3/5 on BAT

Famous TV host who introduced the Beatles and Elvis to America. Well, he owned this 3.5 coupe from 1971- 1978. Recent restoration cost $105k. I wonder what the reserve price is... Too bad it's such a boring color combination. Tunis beige usually is paired with cognac leather interior, which

Re: [MBZ] OT intercooling options

Yes an egt probe is sort of a given with any added fuel. I may do a boost controller to the alda pressure to regulate how and when it adds fuel. With adequate intercooling, adding air (increasing AFR) cools the egt, so maintaining 17:1 or higher is the goal to prevent excessive smoke. It would

Exactly. Ruling out the use of b100 because it vaporizes differently than diesel fuel and will contaminate crankcase oil. And it wastes fuel. Rick From: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: December 27, 2018 8:27 AM To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Reply-to: mercedes@okiebenz.com Cc: mi...@mitchellhaley.com
