just picked this up last week. it was my inlaws, but he gave it to us, cause we gave him our old burb. our first benz, and its already grown on me.






the bad, ac don't work, was told its the climate control. needs some door panels, hood and right fender paint is peeling. wifey is thinking of paiting it white.

 

you gave them your old burb?

 

Do you have the service records? If it were mine, I'd want to know the following:

1) Last fluid change (MB coolant, trans & filter, oil and filter, ps fluid and filter, differential.

2) Last time motor mounts were changed, hopefully with OEM mounts

3) Check all the rubber weep drains in the trunk (under the carpets) and in the engine bay.

4) Inspect all the rubber bushings, ball joints, and moving parts in the front and rear suspensions.

 

love those! Don't change the color though...repaint it the original color. My opinion.

 

. . . oh yeah, check how much spare change and french fries there are under the seats and carpets.

 

Very nice. A 5speed also!

Once you get some time, you should do some engine degreaser and clean her up a bit.

Also some Duplicolour Bumper coating will restore that rear bumper nicely.

 

i gave him my 94 suburban 2wd. ( i bought another one thats 4wd). and one day my wife mentioned to him how she likes his benz, so last week he told us we could have it.

MTI..

knowing my inlaw, that benz is undermentained. last i heard he just had the alt replaced, but i thin it was an independent garage that does not specalized in german cars do all the work. so i plan on doing catch up service work to it. does sounds like the front bushing needs work, cause i can hear it squeek around while driving.

 

ohhhhhhhh suburban... i gotcha.

 

Nice, a manual

Only thing it needs is a engine clean up.

 

thanks. i plan on doing so sometime next week. i already bouht a can of degreaser and a can of black paint.
