Try a strong solution of baking soda and water... more liquid than a paste, on corroded battery cables and posts.. The corrosion is sulfuric acid oxide.. baking soda is a base... so they chemically cancel each other. Your cables will come quite clean after a soak and a little scrub. On Sun, Oct

Absolutely. Drop it on a tube frame, use some modern suspension and drivetrain, sleeper hot rod. I got to thinking, pull everything from the wrecked $500E300 and build it up , that would be so cool. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Oct 6, 2019, at 4:49 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: >

If they have pics, often the auction photo of the doorframe sticker is included. That's how I found the donors of the fender and hood on my Green-Black metallic (Black Opal) ML350. I still can't believe I found two W163s that color in SE Michigan. Both were listed as blue, but I looked at dozens

Re: [MBZ] Painting my alloy wheels.

As someone mentioned, use the Würth silver wheel paint as it’s an exact match. I never primed any of the wheels I painted and didn’t have later issues with adhesion. That’s both after media blasting or just painting over the existing finish. -D > On Oct 6, 2019, at 11:04 AM, Andrew Strasfogel

True, but that can be a lot of sifting and winnowing. When I needed the ASD differential for my '95 E300, I had to call each potential junkyard and get the VIN, run the VIN to make sure the car had ASD, and then call back to order it. Go through five yards, and that gets old quickly.
