A bit over a year ago an insane 24 year old Punjabi IDIOT used his employers Peterbuilt tractor trailer to purposely hit my car, a pristine 1993 Mercedes W124 sedan.. There were witnesses and statements issued.. unknown to me was that Mercedes had ceased parts support for its classic models changing a LONG time policy... There were NO repair parts available.. .There were no good used parts available either..
So I changed tacks... and hunted down a donor car.. and it became the source of the parts that were needed to repair my car.. Work started in September and was just completed.. and today was our anniversary so I picked up my Wife with the car on the way it was threatening to pour so I high tailed it to our garage and had it safely tucked in before the rain started..
VERY happy to have the car back again, to have saved it.. a miraculous save of a low miles clean 32 year old Mercedes sedan that is living history of the best car that was ever made...
My dad drives a green Mercedes too but it’s an old suv that was torn to hell by i’m guessing the cops in a drug raid? 😅 he got it for cheap at a junk yard and drives it as is 😅
@YoMomma I just installed four footings - 12" set down 48" in the ground.. a couple of labourers and myself - rented the post auger, cement mixer... not expensive.. then posts and in my case a beam - in your case a few beams.. and cross bracing.. goes up seven feet in my case..... rock solid and can carry a LOT of weight..
@Teggy thank you.. wool carpets, leather, gleaming wood trim, polished stainless steel trim, tank skin, durable, simple, reliable and covered in lovely gleaming green paint.. an unmolested piece of history...
