If you buy up all the cars that need the parts, then nobody needs the parts.

I call BS. Done correctly the lines can be removed without destroying the
cooler. It takes finesse, and perhaps finesse with a cut off wheel on a die
grinder.

I need to replace the upper and lower oil cooler lines on my 83 300td due
to leaks.. Does anyone have a decent used oil cooler you would be willing
to sell? My tech says that when he disconnects the line from the oil cooler
that will bugger the threads most of the time. Although I can find sources
I'd pay maybe a couple of grand premium for a manual. But not $10K with body
damage, no AC, and other issues.

I guess maybe I could try to grind out the cracks and weld it up. The lower
half of the bumper isn't too visible, could probably get away with just
painting it black or silver.

Weird import Chinese stuff you likely can’t get parts for. Plus, it’s three
phase. Tough to use that around the house without some fancy Okie engineering.

I noticed that there are several cracks below the rubber strip on my rear
bumper. The metal is cracked all the way through. I'm a bit worried the bumper
is about to fall off, though it still feels solid.
I'm guessing there is no aftermarket supplier for these and that salvage or NOS
are what
$800 at most. I offered a guy $800 for one very similar to this blue/black (and
very nice condition) that had various cam codes, he sold it to some other idiot
for $900. I was thinking to transplant a 500 I have.

Earlier during a period of contemplation I was looking at these banners
on ebay, there is a bunch of different MB kinds for like $14-15. There
are some pricier too that are more that are more art works of old Benz
stuff that are pretty cool. I thought having one in the garage would be

I found this out the hard way as well. There’s an amazing amount of cruft that
gets caught up in the spare and related hardware. I don’t recall difficulty
getting it back in place, but it’s been a while since I dropped it. This is a

The carrier came down pretty easily, the safety latch was easily

place separated in two when I twisted it with a lever, but reassembled ok
with a light mallet blow.

I think my late father-in-law had it down pretty well. He had an 18 foot
fiberglass runabout(?) with a decent sized outboard on it that was on a trailer
he could park in the carport of their house. He towed it with their Buick to
the local launches on the Gulf and just went out to fish or crab.
Pimp rims I think, it looks wrong
