If your climate control is working right you won't notice the A/C is
on in the winter except that the windshield will stay clear.  That's
what the second button from the left is for.  :)

"minorities" let alone some choicer words.  unbelievably, my speech is
censored in my own home and car by my kid.

i let my dad say whatever he wanted.  not only that, but i found it very
funny as a kid and still do to this day.  he'd scream stuff like "woman

[Kevin Kraly]

The only way I would part with it at this point would be if someone offered 
what I have in it.

My sentiments exactly from one SD owner to another!  The only other 
possibility would be if I found someone who would allow me to trade it for a 
300TD Turbo Diesel in equivalent condition which is very doubtful.

There is some carpet in the 110, on the transmission hump and

Don, if I were going to part with her I'm sure you would give her a good home.  
The only way I would part with it at this point would be if someone offered 
what I have in it.  That or a 2000+ S500 for my darling wife, which I could 
have bought for the repairs over three years.  
Still interested?

Carpet in a 110?  Sacrilege!  If Rusty does not have it available, I 
have the fax number for a guy in Nederland who sells the rubber mats 
for Ponton and 110.  111s in the US came with carpet and 110s had

Re: [MBZ] 240

[E M]

I dropped a guy a note today on the 560SEL I mentioned in an early post.
Wished him luck in getting his price, but if not, keep my email and drop me
a line in a month or two.  I'm not very good at haggling, and I'd rather
just let people figure out for themselves when they're asking too much.  I
left the door open for him to adjust his price.

OK - you've widened my horizons - now I have more planes to sort
through. Photography is the driving force for my renewed interest in
flying. Low, Slow, and open are the main criteria. Last time I was PIC

I haven't gotten to that point yet. It's exciting enough just flying it.

I think that the photography would rather easy though. There are no 
windows to open and the sides are right down at my waist, so there is 
the calm feeling of being cradled inside something (just in case one was 
to be inclined toward agoraphobia or some such odd affliction) yet there

Re: [MBZ] OT Free Shipping?

[Wonko the Sane]

Gotta put in a BuyMBParts plug here.

I occasionally (normally?) buy just what I need. Last time, it was four glow
plugs.

I simply asked Rusty on the phone to ship cheapest possible means, and he
dropped them (or someone dropped them) into a padded envelope and sent them
to me 1st class mail. ... $3 shipping vs. arm/leg UPS charges.

Service like this you can't put a price tag on. I think the MBA word for it
is Good Will.

Considering he bought it for his kid's 1st car, you should' sold him a 240D

Re: [MBZ] Beaver/Otters

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Back in the 90's when my mother still lived in Alaska we used a Beaver 
to fly all over the place and land on remote lakes in the mountains and 
fished off the plane. I have some pics that I took on 35mm film from 
that trip around here somewhere that I have never developed.  Wonder if 
I found them if they would turn out

Lot of us up north forget to run our a/c regularly during the winter, me
included, and come Spring time, the seals are all shot.  I must make a note
to do it tomorrow, but it's hard sitting in the car with a/c on when it's
-25 outside.  Stepping outside the car while it's running doesn't do much to

On my 111 coupe the new headliner involved removing front and rear glass
plus the wood in front, plus 20 hours skilled labor, then reinsertion of the
glass front and rear by an expert, and finally the nerve-wracking
re-installation of the bowed wood w/s pieces and rear view mirror.  I
personally accomplished the final work ticket items.  Did I ever mention

On my 111 coupe the new headliner involved removing front and rear glass
plus the wood in front, plus 20 hours skilled labor, then reinsertion of the
glass front and rear by an expert, and finally the nerve-wracking
re-installation of the bowed wood w/s pieces and rear view mirror.  I
personally accomplished the final work ticket items.  Did I ever mention
that my motto is "why do it right the first time?".

Re: [MBZ] the super nice 90 420SEL that I sold way too cheap

To bad about the car, but if nothing else, it probably made them a
believer.  The car did its job.  Hopefully, there are lots of good parts
left from it, and you get an even better deal buying it back than they got
buying it from you.

Sell them a 240D, a bit less temptation, and even if they had 
temptation, the 240D would not be compliant.

Re: [MBZ] CHevy 305/350 WAS- High mileage badges

[Curt Raymond]

In my quest to replace my aging Dakota (211,000 miles and rust) I came across 
an '87 K5 Blazer with a mere 89,000 miles.
Checking fueleconomy.gov its only about 1mpg worse on the highway than my 
Dakota...
Boy I like the old body style Blazers, big and confortable. Good in the woods, 
not bad on the road and really not all that bad on gas all things considered.
That and a bigger snowmobile trailer might be a good fit for my needs for 
relatively little money.

I had a 350 with TBI in my 87 4x4 Blazer with 4spd 700R4, it was OK, 
kinda agricultural but solid and you can get parts at the 7-11.  When 
that started burning oil I had an old guy (in his 80s now, complaining 
but still doing engine work, built AJFoyt's first race engine back
 when) 
build me up a 350 -- he put on Vortec heads (they flow better,
 aluminum) 
and an Edelbrock intake, ZZ4 cam and some other stuff, but we used the 
TBI on it.  It never did run right -- I think the cam/heads are not
 well 
matched to what the old TBI computer can do.  I found a laptop program 
and made up a cable to watch the computer, it looked like everything
 was 
fine but it runs rich.  Wouldn't pass emissions (at the legit places)
 so 
I sorta retired it.  I still have that truck, been trying to sell it
 but 
body is rusted and no one will pay for the engine/drivetrain which is 
quite solid, so I might strip it down, keep the good bits, and scrap
 the 
rest.  It would run well with a 4bbl or a newer FI set up, but the 4bbl
 
won't pass inspection and a new FI is pricey.  Before I had him do
 mine, 
I drove a truck he had just built/put a 350 in, that thing about scared
 
the scheiss out of me.  I punched it going about 60, tranny downshifted
 
and the rear tires screeched and let go, I backed off then and said 
"good enough for me."

I have my dad's 96 Chevy truck now, with the 305.  He got the smaller 
engine when he bought it thinking it would be easier on gas, but there 
is really no difference between it, my old Blazer, and the 2000 Burb 
with the 5.3.  The 305 is same as 350 with just different stroke I
 think.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Was Early 70s 200Ds, 220Ds, now Road Rash

We took the motorcycles out for a ride last summer, stopped for an ice cream 
and got to see something like 100 people jump at the same time.
One guy got WAY off course and dropped into the batting cages at the ice cream

They invited us to jump but could never make the timing work out last year.

Re: [MBZ] 240

[Gary Hurst]

rusty insisted i give him my best .38 for his son's old diesel 240.  the gun
is $750 band new, so maybe 400 as is.

now my 3" stainless chiefs special is on the way to gone, so i have to carry
the giant old model 19 down my pants.  this would have been a typical
service pistol 50 years ago, so it's a pretty tight fit.

wonder 9s and 40s are sweet and `1911s have manly style, but there is still
something cool about an old school .38, no?

Re: [MBZ] MBTex/leather interiors on eBay - reputable?

[R A Bennell]

Would ultimately like to do that. As I said, the carpet is getting a bit crispy.

Going off on a tangent, are the interior upholstery pieces available 
individually or just as the whole set? I
wonder what color match would be like with old stuff. I have a hole in the seat 
on the driver side base because the
horsehair pad wore out and the previous owners didn't do anything to protect 
the cover from the springs. I have
since repaired the base with the means shown on one of the websites but did not 
try to repair the small hole.

$550 for Tex seat covers is something I would definitely consider after I 
get the more important things sorted out like the AC compressor and 
radiator.  I think that the Tex holds up much better than leather.  Are the 
door panels Tex in all cars, or do the cars with leather seats also have 
leather on the door panels?

[MBZ] OT: New Subaru diesel

[Alex Chamberlain]

First in-depth story I've seen about Subaru's first-in-the-world boxer
diesel engine.  Same horsepower rating as their normally aspirated
gasoline four, but nearly twice the torque.  Nice.

Go around at night-time, if he left the door unlocked and the keys in it, he
wanted you to have it. :-)  Either, or he does want you to steal it and he
hopes to gets the $7000 "average" from the insurance company.

Glad to know we have an experienced fellow around. If I ever need a headliner, 
I will save the job for when you
visit Winnipeg.

On my 111 coupe the new headliner involved removing front and rear glass
plus the wood in front, plus 20 hours skilled labor, then reinsertion of the
glass front and rear by an expert, and finally the nerve-wracking
re-installation of the bowed wood w/s pieces and rear view mirror.  I
personally accomplished the final work ticket items.  Did I ever mention
that my motto is "why do it right the first time?".

Re: [MBZ] OT Free Shipping?

[andrew strasfogel]

I guess Rusty could defeat the "$75.01" game by lowering his prices so much
that it would be almost impossible to assemble an order costing more than
$75.00, thus requiring "value shoppers" to pay a hated shipping charge.
Diabolical!!

I have a picture of one (911 with a small block), but not sure I can
post
here.  A friend is thinking about a small block in his 928, but I think
a
lot easier to just rebuild what the car came with.

Didn't I read somewhere that putting a headliner in a 115 is a big job? I think 
they talked about removing the
windshield and rear window in order to do it properly.

Re: [MBZ] CHevy 305/350 WAS- High mileage badges

[E M]

I have a picture of one (911 with a small block), but not sure I can post
here.  A friend is thinking about a small block in his 928, but I think a
lot easier to just rebuild what the car came with.

Re: [MBZ] OT Free Shipping?

[Tom Hargrave]

"Free shipping" is based on order amount because "free shipping" is used
to motivate customers to buy more. It's the same with my business. I
offer $10 off any order $125 and up or $25 off any order $250 and up.
And because of these specials, the majority of my orders fall into the
$125 - $150 and $250 - $300 ranges.

I used to do the same with orders to Rusty when the 300SDL was my main
driver. I'd order parts and would add in oil & fuel filters to reach the
"free shipping" point. This really is the best way to order from Rusty
anyway, regardless of who is really paying for shipping. Once you pay to
ship the part you need, you pay very little extra to throw in a few
filters and a can of diesel purge. 

Thanks, Tom

Subject: [MBZ]  OT Free Shipping?

Tom,

You are right on target!  Remember TANSTAAFL?

"Free" is one of the most overused terms in all advertising!   The  
more appropriate statement would be "Orders over $99 shipped at no  
direct charge to you."  We all should know that those $'s are  
somewhere in the "cost of doing business" and incorporated into "mark  
up".

Personally, I would rather just pay the product price plus the going  
UPS/USPS/FedEx shipping cost.

As a business owner, I certainly would want to know how much my "free  
shipping" costs are (% of total $'s of orders over $99) and spread  
that cost when pricing my products.

One more thought - Actual shipping costs are based on weight and  
volume (size of box).  Why is "free" shipping based on order amount?   
Just an inquiring mind!

Take care,

Chuck

Don't know the history of it.  My guess is some kind of minor
collision, maybe someone backed into the door in a parking lot or
something.  Seems to have been repainted, and now is rusting.  That
way when I got it.

Re: [MBZ] OT Free Shipping?

[Tom Hargrave]

I handle my online shiping issue by offering $$$ off orders over $125.
But even with this, I still get "will you give me free freight on this
order? XYZ company will."

I always respond with "No problem at all but let me adjust your price to
their selling price first and remove the discount I just gave you." 

Some still don't undertstand and I ask the m to shop at XYZ company.

Thanks, Tom
