Feast your eyes on this beauty, if you dare: http://cathey.dogear.com/frankenheap.html But beware it doesn't inspire you to similar feats of greatness. (Pronounced: idiocy.) -- Jim

So you have to tie a bottle Mobil 1 around it's hood ornament in order to get the other cars to play with it?

I disagree. I am greatly inspired. Will go full force on my 220D trunk floor project tomorrow. I love the gray with red interior, Frankenclassy! Have you buffed out that paint job yet? -Dimitri --- Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But beware it doesn't inspire you to similar feats of greatness.

Re: [MBZ] Frankenphotos?
I'm actually really impressed with your work on the 200D - I had a 240D with many fewer problems, but I sold it because of rust cancer and an odd sound from the differential. If I had a garage and more time, I might have held on to it. It was reed green with green MB-Tex interior. On 2/24/06, Dimitri Seretakis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I disagree. I am greatly inspired.

So you have to tie a bottle Mobil 1 around its hood ornament in order to get the other cars to play with it? I don't think even that would do it. Mobil 1? That car's never even seen the stuff, nor will it in all probability. I had it for nearly a year before I even changed the 10yo sludge that came in it. Come to think of it it's been nearly another year, perhaps it's time to change it again. Delo 400, like everything else here. I love the gray with red interior, Frankenclassy! Have you buffed out that paint job yet? Red and black interior. It has grown on me. Buff? I'd be afraid to, I doubt there's much underneath to expose! Except the big dents. The dull exterior helps mute those. For optimum car beauty don't let neighborhood kids jump on your car. The natural primer-gray exterior is handy for those occasional touch-ups. I'm actually really impressed with your work on the 200D - I had a 240D with many fewer problems, but I sold it because of rust cancer and an odd sound from the differential. If I had a garage and more time, I might have held on to it. It was reed green with green MB-Tex interior. All the Frankenheap's work has been done outside. I think it has spent exactly _one_ night inside the garage, and that was only because I'd rearranged things so that I could get four cars inside, preparatory to starting on the 190D. It is, almost by definition, the un-garaged car. There I was with a new welder, a $100 rusty car that I was growing fond of driving, and a pile of dead microwave ovens. What to do, what to do...? It has been a rolling reclamation, it's only been down for a few days, and that IIRC was due to an unexpected problem with a broken brake caliper. All the welding was done in the morning before work. I'd jack it up, weld a bit, then lower it and get ready to take it in to work. -- Jim
