In the winter, pre conditioning has a big impact on range. It heats up the

Your effort is much better spent just cleaning up the cluster and the
rheostat to ensure you're getting all you can out of the original setup.
Embrace the originality of dim instruments! Other efforts will just result
in reduction in value of the car, and indirectly shortening its overall
life.
I actually had one of the guys over on Saturday to take some wheels I gave

that was nearly new and unmodified. And he was looking to undo

Yeah, I vote for both. Last year, just before the chowaq, I pulled off the
15" steel wheels and hubcaps from my W116 300SD and went back to Bundts.
What triggered this was finally collecting 4 perfect NOS wheels that were
suitable for car.

with the whole family as usual.
What can I bring? A box of peaches? Some kind of give away?
I have to figure out what I'm driving. I find myself with lots of cars all
needing work:

That hose hanging down from the front of the car is just the radiator

FWIW, I just bought a bunch of seals from 123bearing.com. Its not the
easiest to find stuff there since they stock so many different parts, but
they're very inexpensive. They ship from France, of all places, arrived in
2 days to me here in NJ.
They also list vbelts... I might order a few
This is on my long term goals list... to get into a 722.x and start

What is your temperature gauge indicating? This is really important to
understand whats happening. If you're over 80-85, then the thermostat is
opening. If you're under, slight warmth in the upper hose is normal.
