Kevin,
I'll be around most of the weekend although Friday may have to do a company
job.
I have a 1987 420 SEL don't know if it has the memory seats in it.the
300CE does but nobody uses them, don't even know if they work.
Will check the gray leather seats for the electricsI thought
That will be fine Kevin I'll make sure I'm here. I probably have some brand
new brake rotors for the SD here.

parts for you to build a turbo genset. Otherwise the pieces will go to the
dump.
Going to get rid of all the old Benz stuff. Put 2 300CD's on Craigslist
along with the 450SL, to my surprise the 450 went. So I've got to
