I have mixed feelings toward fabric seats. Kids will do that to you. These critters tend to ooze all manner of nasty and it ends up embedded in the seats. After so many years of leather and MBtex, I was pretty grossed out by the seats in #1 boy’s jeep. Looked like passengers were not

Re: [MBZ] A package deal of wagons?

You do know that the veg oil cars are junk now? Running that in the engines will have pretty much destroyed them. I guess the engines could be rebuilt. clay > On Mar 11, 2017, at 6:46 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > > > 80s Mercedes 300td >

Re: [MBZ] W126 Front End Rebuild

I have wonderings about oldest boys. Dads know how to make car things better, but end up not getting ear time. #1 boy put his w140 out of commission, so SWMBA decided his car was evil and he needed a “better” car. Benz is bad. The solution is to purchase a “benz” built Jeep for mucho

Re: [MBZ] OT flat screen erratic (in)op

I got stuck in the middle of monitor prices and bad chinese capacitors a few years ago. Monitor prices had yet to drop in a manner that made replacing the thing economical. The monitor was a 22” back when that meant something. I found a shop that still repaired TV sets and he had piles of

[MBZ] Making Allen Happy

I finally have a dry enough day and some time on my hands, so I gave Allen some love. I really want to get the passenger side window regulator out, but the motor does not spin, and the thing is not fitting out the hole. After mucking about for an hour I gave up and bolted it back in. I had

Re: [MBZ] ElastiWrap

Rattle can is not that hard to do. Polei got some fresh white to deal with the faded and gnarly stuff she had when I got her. The prep work is what really mattered to getting a viable result. Not that I did a great job, because six months down the road I am seeing rust bleed through and a

Re: [MBZ] March car upgrades

I kind of peeved the boys at the FLAPS when I drug in 10 gallons of used oil. They only want five at a time. I had the oil from the jeep, the free SD, and the SDL when I got it in September and after the ND trip. The SD is having issues shifting. Might be a leak, as it leaves pretty

[MBZ] March car upgrades

Next weekend we switch to summer time at the PnP. Spring rains will require the SD wiper blades to get sharpened. Might as well get fresh blinker fluid in all my cars. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info=13_id=54=pQU4c8cvGaTZyGhERBOhv2

Re: [MBZ] 123 weirdness

Could be the ground, or the flasher relay. Not sure if it lives behind the cluster or if the W123 had it built into the 4 way flasher. Removing the switches and some contact cleaner helps at times. clay > On Mar 6, 2017, at 4:19 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes >
