I was getting that feeling about this car.   The burning desire to do something 
really stupid that will bite you in the rear.  I made the plan and headed out 
this morning to place a bid.  There was a PnP on the way that had a CL post 
with a R107 that needed attention.   Classic cars galore, and a boat load of 
VW.  Dude at the counter even gives you a stub with row # address for  your 
car.  

There were three benz.  A totaled w210, a w123 300D, and the 107.   I pulled a 
Becker Europa cassette out of the w123.  It fires up.  Figure I put it on the 
fleabay.  The 107 had been hit already.  I think it had been sitting somewhere 
for ages, as the top was shredded and the inside was very wet.  Previous 
vulture was really polite.  He did not destroy anything in removal, piled the 
bundts in the trunk and covered up the engine after he removed the hood.\\

I had hoped to get lights, the seat shiny trim, door cards, and the fuel pump 
set up.  1973, so compatible with my SL.  I ended up getting the Dizzy with 
trigger points, MAP sensor, some wire bits, and the console controls.  This 
time I was able to pull the AC control without busting the pig tail.  The panel 
was also in much better condition than mine, bamboo.  I cleaned that up and put 
a coat of paint to match my interior.   My current center console is aged and a 
bit trashed from idiots trying to install radios.  There is a repainted console 
just waiting to go in.  Maybe summer.  When I can keep the car outside for more 
than a half hour with the top down.
