Re: [MBZ] This is sort of interesting due to the white on red

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

So when I was looking for my first car we went to this guy who owned a body 
shop that did paint and body work for big trucks and semis. He was also into 
MB. He had a 74 240d manny that was burgundy with a brand new paint job, very 
nice car. The other car he had was a white on red 76 300d. The next car we went 
to look at was a green on green 76 300d. Lord I wish I would have bought that 
car. The 3rd car that I ended up buying was a 79 240d in Colorado beige. So, 
that is why I have a soft spot for green on green, white on red, and an early 
123 240d in Colorado beige.

Back to the truck body guy. He had a mini mb grave yard behind the body shop 
that may have contributed to me wanting to acquire parts cars. Several years 
after that I bought a vacuum pump off him for my grandmothers 240d. Many years 
after that I was there while working with Autotrader because they were listing 
some cars in the magazine to sell. It was the son running it then, told him 
about me dealing with his dad years earlier. Last time I was that way the shop 
is something else and no mb grave yard in the back.

So like poos has his bucket list cars, mine are green on green and white on red 
115, and a Colorado beige early 123.

Re: [MBZ] This Looks Nice

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

You are saying a 220 is the lesser of 2 evils of a w210 diesel? I hate to say 
it but you must have had a long night of hookers and blow. I have own a 97 
diesel that is pushing close to 400k miles, and 98 turbo that is at about 220k. 
Yes they are not as high quality as a 124 but they are still very good cars, 
much better than the troublesome 220 chassis. All of the issues listed below 
are things that could happen. A list of things that could happen to a 124 is 
probably longer. A list of things that could happen on a 220 is probably a mile 
long.

Re: [MBZ] Messed up roofing

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

It dips down there because the underlying decking is rotted out from the water 
running back behind there. I'm probably going to pull back the shingles and 
replace the decking at the end with 1x

[MBZ] 210 diff

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Well now that the nos diff arrived weeks ago it's time for me to start in on 
that job. Been lazy today so far even thought it's a beautiful day out but I am 
getting ready to head out to the shop to yank the old diff out of the car. Been 
dreading this job not so much the removing it but the fact that I got to swap 
the flange from the old one to the new one, which can be a swine of a job to 
get the nut loose I have heard.

Re: [MBZ] Messed up roofing

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

You know instead of ripping that all out I may try and get some flashing and 
insert it up under the shingles along the end he to raise up the dip and 
overhang the gutters a bit. I would really like to get those lead guard gutters 
and let them do the whole thing, but that is probably way more than I want to 
spend.

Uh no, not really. They are very solid and reliable cars. Do they have more

Re: [MBZ] 210 diff

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

The socket is e12. It was a whore of a job getting them off. These things have 
to be on just right or you will strip it or it flys off the bolt head. I have 
several scraped knuckles after this job. They have lock tight applied to the 
bolts, so you have to use a long breaker bar to break them loose and continue 
loosening them. The axle boots are in the way of the ratchet causing it to want 
to slip off the bolt. You can't use an extension to clear the boots because 
when you try to apply all that pressure it wants to come off the bolt. Just now 
removed the last of the 12 bolts. 3 more hex bolts and it's out

Re: [MBZ] Resurrecting POSEL -- getting it to light off

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Well you made a big mistake not draining the tank, disconnecting and blowing 
out the fuel lines font to back, replacing fuel filter. If the pumps were 
working you just flushed crap from the tank and lines into the fuel 
distributor. Could you hear the pumps running? If you look down the filler neck 
do you see rust?

Unless they ran it till it was completely dry then it was bound to have some 
fuel in the tank. The fuel will be in the lines as well which will be just like 
the fuel in the tank, which you don't want getting to the distributor

[MBZ] More 140 adventures.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

So after working for several hours getting the 140 ready to go again, after 
working on it I parked it in the driveway behind the kid who blew up his w210 
2012 Jeep he now has a bit payment on. The wife and I were heading to town in 
it to make sure it did not catch on fire again and I pulled into the gas 
station. As I am washing the windshield with the squeegee, I head the aux fan 
kick in and it's sounding bad. I look around to the front to see it has been 
backed into and the grille/hood is pushed in at the bottom. He apparently 
backed into it because he did not see it there.  He did not think it did any 
damage and went about his business he says. So it's pushed in and I assume the 
hood is buckled a little bit or something as the passenger side will not 
release now and I can't get the hood open. This is just great. This kid does 
not need to be behind the wheel of anything other than maybe a bicycle.

Re: [MBZ] More 140 adventures.

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Nope grandma did. Not my problem. I made it perfectly clear I was done with 
cars involving the kid and am out of the loop on this deal. Personally I think 
it was stupid to go out and spend $13k on a car for a 19 year old who tears 
cars up but whatever.
