    Train wreck

    Need to stiffen up the front a bit and raise it about 1cm. Rear is set, except for half shafts issues.

    Train wreck

    Not that much different from other older vehicle. 500e specific parts are about equivalent to finding body pieces for a gmc typhoon for example. But in general a lot of the parts do tend to cost more. About to try taking it for inspection tomorrow. Installed front turn signals and almost done...

    Train wreck

    This one needs some make up to get there. Used to have the newer bug eye wagon with the v6 and just not a fan of bug eye although it was in a very good shape for the year. I tried to get a w140 euro spec manual short wheel base last month, but people with money always win the auctions. Always...

    Train wreck

    Wrong priorities, but interior things bother. Also coils and brake pads.

    Train wreck

    Irrelevant, but brake hose and brake pad sensor wire. Abs sensors are on the diff side. Have new pads to put in along with a set of springs to try.

    Quiet muffler recommendations

    Removed large body magnaflow on my tahoe. Ended up with resonators, large body diesel mufflers, and another set of spiralflow mufflers to get it where can actually hold a conversation inside

    Train wreck

    Spacers lost 10mm. Diff might be toast, not confident that noise is the bad axle shaft.

    Train wreck

    Took wheel spacer off on one side for test look. 25mm spacers. picture with spacer removed and wheel located close to desired ride height. Tire is bad as well on that side

    Train wreck

    Have not fully verified, but they are likely cheap e-codes. Real correct e-codes go for $2.5k+. The only currently one set I found asking $3.5k. It is facelifted to 94 front. Actually a 92 model

    Train wreck

    Unfortunately repair list is rather large. Just starting with rear suspension. Good mechanical condition according to the seller...

    Train wreck

    First task is to get it driving and inspected. Need new shocks and springs as well.

    Train wreck

    Not even close to a square, but fits other. Train wreck joined the fleet. Just about everything that could be wrong is wrong with it. It looks much worse in reality.

    Alternator Mount Differences - Update

    Have hard time seeing exactly. But there is a size difference and some aftermarket brackets actually provide two locations for mounting holes.

    R4 to Sanden whith stock ac lines(for serpantine)

    Sanden does not need it. It sits lower and has less side rotational forces pulling on the top(do not have a good way to describe but r4 can potentially have more loading because of dimension and mounting)

    R4 to Sanden whith stock ac lines(for serpantine)

    At some point ran r4 without the rear support bracket, but better with it. It partially I believe also helps with the compressor noise

    R4 to Sanden whith stock ac lines(for serpantine)

    Does it have r4 or a6? Either r4 or a6 swap brackets work. Ict billet or vintage air bracket

    Hood/front bumper repaint and repop rear bumper that hopefully works.

    e320 wagon

    Have considered the newer ones number of times, but the styling of the earlier models won.

    e320 wagon

    The wagon got sold when tahoe came in. But there is a replacement e class that is taking the spot. Really disliked the wheels on it originally, but after some time thinking raise it up a bit and might be ok.

    another elco

    Water pump replacement. It was threatening to throw fan in to the radiator. Did not leak, but sounded like the whole thing was about to fall apart.

    99 tahoe shorty

    Had a bit of exhaust drone that I wanted gone. First thought was to get basic single baffle bullet mufflers to replace the glass packs that were at the end acting as resonators. That was a failure as it became louder with more drone. Then ordered spiral type bullet race muffler and that toned...

    Jones chambered bullet mufflers

    I have them on two vehicles. But found that they appear to be overall louder than a glass pack, but a bit deeper tone. About to try a spiral bullet muffler instead
