Hey Mike
 I guess if I can't get much of anything out of the MB I'll just run it 
until it drops.  That was the original intent, I got a little side-tracked.

 I'm going to go start the car this weekend, while it's warm.  Since 
there
 has been so little interest,Ii think I'll use it while the weather is 
warm

 since it's still registered and insured, then just junk it when/if it
 quits.
  It still gets about 30 mpg.  I have a Jeep which gets terrible mileage,
 and I'm going to buy another car, so at some point, probably this 
summer,

 I'll get rid of the MB.
  BTW, it's in Warren, MA.

Jim,
   Can you tell me again where it is so i can see how far i have to go?
 It
does run right?  Are you in a huge hurry to get it out of the way?  It
would
be 3 or 4 weeks before I could get time to come pick it up.  This is a
navy
blue 123 chasis right?  Scrap price for cars here is $60 a ton so how's 
a

couple hundred bucks sound?  I think I could swing a roadtrip along with
that.

Re: [MBZ] 1981 240D $1000

2006-03-08 Thread Bill Gallagher
Spent considerable time trying to find something on the Internet under 
Steel, composition etc ... nothing  looked at failures shows even 
stainless steel can have internal corrosion. Which is news to me today: 
I know low grade SS will rust 


http://pubs.acs.org/cen/topstory/8007/8007notw4.html

   I recalled a bridge collapse, where internal parts of the steel had 
small pockets of rust, later making crack and then the break comes 
   I should say, there are impurities in the steel in small pockets 
which start the process of corrosion and then rust. Guess rust can be an 
impurity too not complete remove by not being burned off

Steel isn't dug out of the ground, rust is.  (And other compounds.)
If there is any rust left after the smelting they did something wrong.

Yes, no car is rust free.  (Except this 240D, I was underneath
today and saw nothing bad at all.  OK, the exhaust pipe is rusty.)

Most chemical reactions happen quicker when it's warm.  But that assumes 
rust has gotten started to begin with -- which it mostly won't, if you 
never drive the car in the salt.

Unfortunately, the car has rust in the usual places.  Not too extensive, but 
very poorly repaired by a previous owner.  AC works, cruise control doesn't, 
vacuum door locks disabled because of vacuum leak.  Seats are good, as is 
the rear carpet, front carpet not so much.  Head liner is good, dash has 
several cracks.  Runs and shifts good, a good $1000 car.
