Butterfingers combined with a laptop keyboard that I'm not used to meant that I sent my long message about my car before I meant to.
> The usual long list of little things that have been jury-rigged > because I didn't have time to fix them right Nothing major here, just many small things that make the car, as my younger friends say, a bit "janky"---torn door seals, electrical connectors broken and taped, vacuum lines cracking and patched, a broken driver's door lock (it can't be opened with the key, so I use a Chinese fleaBay keyless remote that I wired in). > a set of 16" 500E wheels in average > shape (which won't fit any 124 but 1 Which won't fit any 124 but a 500E without rolling the insides of the fenders, I meant to say. (Dunno about putting the 500E wheels on a 210 or some such. Anyone know?) And about that two-tone interior: mice got at the original gray seats and ruined them. I replaced them with dark blue ones from my 300E parts car after thoroughly cleaning the carpets, door panels, and headliner in the 300D. No mouse smell left at all, and I kind of like the look. The driver's seat needs a new pad and maybe a new spring box too, depending on your tolerance for a low, saggy seat and the sensitivity of your hiney. The car's been a faithful friend---only leaving me stranded once, when the previous head (a #17 installed by the PO) catastrophically failed in the middle of nowhere---but it might be time to let it go. Is anyone here interested?
