Re: [MBZ] The car that started it all
Is that noise I hear grandma spinning in her grave? Dan On Dec 13, 2014, at 5:27 PM, Kaleb C.

I took my drivers test in this car. She let some relative use the car and they did something to the fender and ran it out of oil locking the engine up. I bought it off her in 97 or 98. Hauled it home pulled the engine out. It has then moved with me to 5 houses over the years, had it stored in the garage, then outside under a car cover, but the cover has long since gone. The replacement engine has been pulled and ready to drop in. She has sat outside and as with most 115s it does leak some water, interior is moldy. Looking at the underbody does have some rust starting so need to get that under control. I have neglected it too long and today it moved to my shop out of the weather. I am going to have to do some major interior cleaning to get rid of the mold smell. I bet the heater fan has locked up my now also. I should be ashamed I let it sit this long. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
