Disaster! They oiled the gravel road again today, and my wife was attempting to drive on the side in the un-oiled swath. She missed. She called me and I dashed down with the (V10) truck and a tow strap. I arrived to find the car nearly completely off the road, and at a very precarious angle in th

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes 123 Console Window Switches

Good job. Those switches are vulnerable to anything spilled on the console (traditionally, Germans don't eat in cars but Americans do). Plus there are decades of dust and corrosion. Switches are mechanically simple (EZ repair if plastic not brittle) but springs make assembly a bit tricky.

There is a local dude who has this 85 CD California car he has owned for the last 25 years. I posted about this a while back. Car has been sitting 5 years under a carport and appears to be in good shape with 240k miles IIRC. Battery is dead but I’m pretty sure it will start with a new battery. I
