New to the W114... a few questions
Hey all, I recently purchased a W114 sedan. It's a 1974 280 and I'm pretty happy with it so far.
A few questions I have though:
-Can you swap in the older-style steering wheel into the later W114 cars?
-Can you swap doors from the earlier cars, to get that sweet sweet window vent?
-The Parking Brake warning light flashes if I try to accelerate too quickly (Ha!) away from a stop... what the hell is it doing that for? Could it be as simple as a wire moving around under acceleration or is my car telling me something else?
-Any preferred MB shops in the Orange County, CA area?
-Go-to source for parts? Or is it all Craigslist, eBay, and Pelican?
-Any random things I should know?
Thanks everyone!
