I am trying to figure out if the rims look like death from living in the trunk while the car rotted away around them, or if the departed rubber on them is because the tire failed and was forced to languish in the trunk while the spare was put to road use. clay ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

If the bundts have never been removed from the trunks, I think Jaime wants them. At least I think it's zero mile rims he wants, not 1970s rubber.

[MBZ] PnP disappointments
I saw that there were a pair of 450/ m117 cars new to the yard. There must be some really cool parts, huh? Turns out that neither car was in any condition to bother with. Maybe they were owned by the same fool. The SLC what just rotted out. Mostly rust and junk that had been stripped prior to making it to the yard. The w116 was a '78, so nothing worth gathering from under the hood. The floors were rotted out. Both had nonviable spares, but bundts. I decided not to waste cash trying to bring the wheels home. I did score the all metal C107 wipers. The idiot had painted them white all over. Strip the paint, and I have something really rare. Maybe it would pay for the yard trip. There was a 420SEL that donated its headlight doors, corner lights, and cluster. If the speedo works, I will be able to swap it into Polei while her speedo is rebuilt. clay ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
