So I’m out here checking this car over. Interior needs a good cleaning but is quite decent, upholstery good, a few little broken bits but nothing bad, the bits are in the car. Body has a coupla small dings and various little ditzels where rock chips have rusted through but otherwise quite straight. One piece missing from front bumper next to the tow hook. The intercooler is sorta loose. Engine is pretty clean.
I don’t think the guy put everything back together when he removed the intake manifold, there are a few bits including the EGR tube collar (which is a PITA) to replace) in a magnetic dish under the hood but I think all the bits are there. I have the battery charger on it so tomorrow I’m going to see if some simple twiddles, relays and connections and such, might get it going. Almost new original spare in trunk but lug wrench and tools gone. Tires have good tread but are crap but I have the new set Of Kumhos on the smashed $500E300. No coolant in the tank so will have to check that out. If I get it running maybe I’ll respray it in some pimp color, the white nauseates me. Or maybe it will grow on me if I get it running. It’s probably in better shape than the smashed $500E300 and a lot fewer miles, 185k v 325k. The $600E320 has 242k. --FT _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
