Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

Yah it doesn't take long to rack up some bills. Rebuilt head 1300 for the part, plus install. Transmission rebuild 1700, plus install. AC stuff: assuming the climate control functions thermostatically, the center vents need to blow hot air. If not, deduct at least 1500 for removing and

That is sure the truth Clay! I have a line on a car and will be going to inspect next week. I will update the group with whatever decision is made when I know. On Fri, Dec 23, 2016 at 12:09 AM, clay via Mercedes wrote: > I would be glad to post a more viable TD were

I am aware of his desires. I was sharing the current state of affairs near me and showing the best that could be had. I would not expect Kyle of being a bottom feeder like the rest of us. clay > On Dec 22, 2016, at 5:16 AM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > > I think you are

Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

I would be glad to post a more viable TD were one to show itself. PNW has been well plucked of great examples. The BioD revolution sent many good cars to early graves. There are a few really superb cars to be had, but at a premium and not all that often. clay > On Dec 22, 2016, at 4:36

Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

I had totally forgotten about Hart to Hart! I loved that show growing up maybe that is where this came from. I am a super duper maintainer of my stuff, and I have an awesome set of tools! (inherited from my Grandfather along with his tractor) and I am not afraid to use them. I am old enough

Dr. August M. Booth has been mentioned in conjunction with this. In honor or his memory, buy the best car you can find, and have a thousand or two in reserve for making it perfect. Beats the heck out of buying a decent car for $3k and having to throw $5k into it and still not having the best

Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

That is totally true Rick. The options for us seem to be a used crapbox modern wagon (heck no), a used W124 or 210 wagon from MB (and we don't care for these body styles as much as our favorite) or go for the gold with our favorite of all time... Drum roll please The W123 Wagon. Hence, our

Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

HAHAHA! I forgot they filmed that there. Infamy is never really lived down, is it! It is an amazing place and most people in the PNW are really nice. I loved spending summers up there on my Grandparents farms/ranches and have great memories. Love that movie also... Blast from the past! My

Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

I was making reference to the movie "Animal House" being filmed at the U of O in Eugene. I visited there several times as well as Cottage Grove where they filmed the homecoming parade scenes just to see some of the locations where the movie was shot. Nice towns. I went into this little

I think you are slightly missing the point Clay. Kyle isn't looking for a starting point. He is looking for the finished good usable end result. In other words NO PROJECTS. Manfred Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 18:59:24 -0800 From: clay Not as perfect as I would like, but

Never have, and unless radical changes happen in our lives, never will. I am taking classes at Santa Fe College in Gainesville. The University of Florida has this crazy policy that since they are an educational institution then everyone here should have some kind of degree. I get their point

Thanks Clay!! That is about as far as you can get from Gainesville Florida tho! hahaha! I must admit, I miss the PW (family from Eugene/Springfield/Tualatin areas) but seeing the snow in that one ad, brr! Looks cold and wet to me. My primary goal is to get a daily driver out of the box.

Re: [MBZ] Kars For Kyle

The '84 looks nice but has obviously been sadly neglected. Left the hood open long enough to crack the washer fluid reservoir? Not safe to drive with current wiper blades? C'mon, man! On Wed, Dec 21, 2016 at 9:59 PM, clay via Mercedes wrote: > Not as perfect as I would
