Found another orphan!!

Well I did it again went car shopping tonite and had my pick of 2 almost identical 92 300E's . Both jet black and silver cladding ! One had 170k and the other 187k ! I took the 187k cuz the air worked!! Hate getting air probs with a MB ! Looks like $$$$$. Has the gray interior just like Bigblue and really runs great! But it suffers from the bald tire syndrome and bad motor mounts ! I have to see if the guy I sold my old 8 hole wheels will sell them back to me !! They will look mighty sharp on that car along with the new shoes! Going to pick her up tomorrow and I will try and get some pics posted here ! Soon as I get the title back I will be putting her up for sale! So if your looking fer a MB??

So tomorrow noon my tires should be in and mounted! I got so wound up looking for things to fix that today for the first time I noticed it had tinted winders !! Looked kind of nice might have to give Bigblue that touch!! Found a jammmed CD in the 12 disc player so got that working to! Pics coming soon and then she goes on the block! She really is a beauty almost hate to part with it but the boss lady says I can only have one MB and one deisel pickup!!
