If you are talking about changing from SLS to springs/shocks, it
will ride low unless you can find sportline wagon springs (which

Nice purchase.
You might want to replace the close-up of the IP with a new once once the
red-dyed tax-exempt fuel has worked it's way out of the system.
Get rid of the green antifreeze ASAP. Do a citric acid flush or two to rinse

Forgot about that in the first post 316k.
From what I've seen on eBay... this thing was pretty cheap. They seem
to go for about 4500-6000 there. Even some of the W123 versions!!

Check the flex discs on the drive shaft and the transmission mount too.
I just changed those on my 87SDL. Was able to remove the center mount to get

Buddy was bringing in some vehicles parts at about that time so I
