RE: My Mega-Restoration Nightmare Adventure

i know, but in the end, i am proud of it, because in my town here theres SOOOOO many honda hotwheels wannabe punks, and i like having the diesel soot there, its my statement AGAINST them......lol

for real, they all have half painted, primered, 37 dollar autozone fart-canned, rusty pieces of crap, and then they rev at me, and wanna race, and im through the intersection with my massive diesel torque before their rear wheels even get across the line........im serious......its gangster, German gangster......

Re: My Mega-Restoration Nightmare Adventure

i just got the call from the shop, and they simply incorrectly mounted the new trans pan gasket............figures huh? they work on M3's all day long, but do simple mistakes on my old car....oh well......amsoil shipment is being delivered there tommorrow, according to UPS, and then they will refill all my fluids back to the standard i had them, and then all will be well, except for the drivers side upper control arm, and ball joint, which is being ordered, and wont get done until next week........

oh yes, and they are gonna fix the sunroof, so u dont have to push mega-hard to get it opened and shut, while pressing the button, like it is now......

yay!

one step at a time....and you will get there.  Big stuff first and work towards the little stuff.  Then pretty soon you will be grinning ear to ear when almost everything is functioning.

Beverly Hills Ltd. Mercedes Benz was my father's first job when he immigrated to the US back in the late 70's................all employees had to have one, on their cars, and he had one on the back of his w123 kombi-wagon that he had back then..........

i'v mentioned before that he is a Mercedes Master Mechanic before..........

Re: My Mega-Restoration Nightmare Adventure

ok, during the game today all the trans fluid leaked out onto the parking lot, disabling the car, for the SECOND TIME, and because its the holiday weekend, i have to leave it sitting, at the bar where i was, caus theres no rental cars around (the mech tried for me), and the flatbeds already knocked off until wed.

luckily, its all my uncles land and stuff surrounding it, so i am parked right in front of the main office, and was able to use the phone, alot, and then his business partner drove me home.............

SSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

anyways, i have like 27 pics, but the DSL guy didnt show today, so with dialup it'll take forever to photobucket them all, or add them to my albulm..................

i am SO frustrated...................2 weeks, no car, then 1 day (24 hours) of car, and now no more car again............
