At Hobby airport in Houston I would park at the rental car lot for a few 
$$ a day then ride the shuttle over, less than half the price of the 
terminal garage and door-door service.

[MBZ] Desperately need a W123 driver's door or door shell

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Mine has given way to the tin worm.  Anyone have or know of a relatively
decent W123 LF door for my 300TD?  It is getting ever so close to 1 million
miles (currently 378 K and climbing, although slowly...).

Contact me privately or publicly. I have nothing to hide.

[MBZ] Why no love for a RED 1973 450SE?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Inaugural year of this famous W116 flagship car.  I remember the magazine
ads when it first appeared.  IIRC this was the first time Mercedes launched
a national media campaign.

I drool over the color combination.  It will sell for NR and if it were on
the east coast I would do something stupid, like buy it impulsively.

I think 380s don’t get much love anyway, much like the W114s. I’ve always 
thought they were an easy way into the R107 chassis as long as you avoided the 
single row chain models.

What is the big risk, and how much holiday time to you get? A drive 
across country in a car like that sounds to me like a great holiday. I 
drove from Winnipeg, to Minneapolis, to Chicago, to Mansfield, Ohio and 
back in July last summer and enjoyed it all. I hadn't done a long road 
trip in many years so it was great fun.

We drove 7125.5 miles in 2018 going from New Mexico to the east coast,
down and up the east coast, through the midwest, and back to New Mexico.

Newport Beach, CA, to Washington, D.C., is only 2648 miles or 2675 miles
depending upon whether he goes the northern route or the southern route.

If he pushes it, he could do it in three days. Relaxed driving could take
a week.

Re: [MBZ] Why no love for a RED 1973 450SE?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I'm thinking about a trip to Arkansas next year for the snow goose 
conservation hunt. Looks like just under 1500 miles each way, about 48 hours of 
driving total round trip. Probably do it in 2 days each way with a friend.
I should look into flying too, not sure how much the airline would charge me to 
ship a cooler full of goose meat.

We drove 7125.5 miles in 2018 going from New Mexico to the east coast,
down and up the east coast, through the midwest, and back to New Mexico.

Newport Beach, CA, to Washington, D.C., is only 2648 miles or 2675 miles
depending upon whether he goes the northern route or the southern route.

If he pushes it, he could do it in three days. Relaxed driving could take
a week.

[MBZ] OT1990 Land Rover 110 6x6

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Nicknamed Perentie, this 1990 Land Rover 110 6x6 was purpose built for the 
Australian Army by JRA Limited in the UK.  Powering the Perenties 6 wheels is a 
smooth running 3.9L Isuzu 4BD1-T Turbo Diesel mated to a four-speed LT95A 
transmission.  The special built chassis allows for the Defender to sustain 
being hung frame a helicopter by one corner without distorting the chassis.  
The chassis is also more than strong enough to support the fully functional PTO 
winch.  Perfect overlanding vehicle capable of going places many others can't 
while having the cargo space to sleep comfortably.  Air conditioning in the 
rear box works great with the original cots still intact in addition to seating 
for 8 plus.  Fully serviced, new batteries, and rebuilt brake system.We 
purchased this Defender in 2018 and have being enjoying it since.

Re: [MBZ] Why no love for a RED 1973 450SE?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 For the conservation hunt (specifically to remove snow geese) you don't need 
one, just need a hunting license in some state. You also don't need a federal 
waterfowl stamp although I've got one anyway.
During the conservation hunt there are no limits on geese shot, no limit on 
shells in the gun which is normally limited to 3. Hunting starts 30 minutes 
before sunrise and continues until 30 minutes after sunset when its normally 
sunrise to sunset.
Obviously this hunt is not for conservation of snow geese, its conservation of 
everything else by eliminating snow geese...

Re: [MBZ] W124 300D alternator replacement?

[Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes]

Successfully replaced the alternator today in the driveway and the car seems to 
charging well. It was one of those rare, relatively warm February days. And to 
all those serpentine belt fans out there, you are right, they are so much 
easier to deal with than regular belts!

Re: [MBZ] Desperately need a W123 driver's door or door shell

[Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes]

I would doubt their expertise. 99.9% of body shops do not know how to or care 
to know how to fix rust. And FYI the outer and lower door bottoms are available 
from fixmyrust.com for cheap. Problem is that the monkey at the body shop is 
incapable of properly welding in the patch panels in a manner that would 
prevent the doors from rusting through again in one year.

Re: [MBZ] W124 300D alternator replacement?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Atta boy!

Yes, serpentine belts are wonderful things.

I just finished changing oil, filter and the interior charcoal filters on my 
S210 wagon. Charcoal cabin filters were the originals! Nearly 200k on them and 
they were like desiccated bricks.

And it was one of those not so rare, warm February days here, too. Looks like 
it got up to 80F, and I don’t have a garage with AC any more. I miss that.

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Cold front moving in Thursday night. Lows in the 50s on Friday, highs will only 
be in the low 70s this weekend.

Looks like I better get up in the attic and get that security camera wiring 
done before it gets roasty.

because it is nearly impossible to remove and replace with the engine in

Butt weld the panels into place taking care to achieve good fit. Metal finish 
the seam as best as possible considering obstructions inside door,  use weld 
thru primer where appropriate, protect the backside of the weld using an epoxy 
primer or por-15, use seam sealer, spray the inside of the repair area with 
body cavity wax or fluid film.

Then when you add the cost of the used door and 
the freight shipping, it might be a bit more then 
you thought. Depending on where it came from.

[MBZ] Contact from NZ

A short while back Randy was asking about past list participants.  Recently

Re: [MBZ] 380SL BAT wuz: Why no love for a RED 1973 450SE?

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

1985 R107 M116 engine. 380SL.

I think if you took out the booster you might be able to get the valve 
cover off.  I can't remember the impediments now.   I did change the 
booster, but it was a pig of a job.  I was not about to take the booster 
out to get the valve cover off.  I didn't HAVE to take it off.  I took 
it loose, and then discovered there was no way to get it out.   Put it 
back on.

Are you talking about the R107? Because if you are, I had no problems with
R&R either the valve covers or the vacuum brake booster in the 450 SLC ---

Re: [MBZ] OT Stock Market

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

So I think you are right about the winds last Friday, on Saturday I noted
there was a lot of trucks pulling containers again.  However today, no
wind, and truck traffic was down again.

Market keeps going up up up, new highs nearly every day.  Maybe I was
pre-mature, but I'm still going to keep the cash that I took out last week,
which was a small percentage of my portfolio.

Read an article to today about the norks, they are denying that they have
any cases of Kung Flu to report, so that doesn't portend well given that
they share a border with China.

[MBZ] mexican beer flu WUZ: OT Stock Market

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

This info is a week or 10 days old now, but I saw a map of the 
infections, and as of that time all of south china was without flu, so 
it is possible that the norks have none.   However we all know the 
chicomms are lying about numbers infected and dead.   We also know kim 
jung dead's son is lying if his mouth moves.  Coffee empty!

Re: [MBZ] Local 1970 220 doing well on BAT

[Clay via Mercedes]

I still mourn the demise of my /8 220D.  Other than the floor cancer and other 
tin worm issues, she was a joy to drive.  Manual, no options, just worked.  I 
did take her on the freeway quite a bit and she had no issue keeping up with 
traffic and even hit her near redline of 84mph for ten miles on a barren 
stretch of road.  She was much happier at 70.

Re: [MBZ] Why no love for a RED 1973 450SE?

[Clay via Mercedes]

There may be trouble in minds of bidders over the DJetronic system.  Very 
fiddly if touched by an idiot and there is diminished stock of people able to 
set the early electronic injection right.  That and the rarity of new injectors 
with attendant high cost.  I scored the last six that the CC had when I was 
having the SL rejuvenated.  Two injectors had massive leakage, and I thought it 
best to resolve it in one step instead of going back in multiple times later.  
IIRC, I was charged around $280 per unit.  I had replaced two injectors a few 
years before when I had my indy defornicate the work done by a “Euro” shoppe 
the local section had a tech event at.  I made the mistake of having them do a 
tune/misfire job at the 25% “savings” offered.  Cost me $4k for their ham 
handed work and the proper resolution.

Yes, the window switches are paired in the later cars.  Front left, rear right, 
and vice versa.  Could be dirty switches or degraded wiring.  Door open and 
close a bunch on the rear doors tends to tweek the wires on the w126 cars I

There is one at Harry's in Charlottesville, VA for $150.   Sez 101 miles 
from Rockville Md.   Easy.  call em up, drive down. haul it back, and 
put it on.


If you call around, you might find one closer or cheaper. but that is a

[MBZ] OT: IP Cams, WAS W124 300D alternator replacement?

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Dan,  I think it was you who got me interested in home security cameras so I 
thought I'd share these results.

I did a side-by side comparison of four IP cameras ranging from a cheap (<$50) 
Reolink 5M cam to a new (>$150) 4M Dahua HDW5442TM-AS.  They are all "eyeball" 
style IP cameras.  Here is a link to day and night images (zoom in for detail):

https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/reolink-ip-cameras.41590/page-3#post-414681

IMO, all the daylight pics are OK but the 2M and 4M Dahua starlight cams were 
significantly sharper at night, especially for a moving person (although not in 
these images).
