Did a little dismanteling on the benz
As most of you know, I have a '83 240D that I was going to put a 350 in but decided it was too much work, bought my chevy and still had plans to put a V6 in it but, when I looked under the car in late summer, the unibody was starting to " U ", so I bought the Falcon, my dad bought that benz for parts for his '83 and all he needed was the head, he was going to strip the car but I saved the car by telling him I wanted it, now that the car is mine and I'm told I have to get rid of it ( I don't need 3 cars anyway ), I get to tear it apart. I have the dash mostly dissassembled, grille, headlights and buckets, trim bezels and today I removed the front 1/4's and inner fenders, I was able to open the doors just right so I could get my 10 mil socket w/ 6" extension in there to pull the 3 bolts behind the door so, I was able to leave the doors on. It took me 1 hour to figure out how to get the passenger side compleatly off, I had all the bolts out but the 1/4's goes all the way into the front of the car and is screwed in 2 places with a special crimp into a center panal also ( must have taken a special tool but, a hammer and screwdriver worked for me ), 1ce off, it came right out, the second 1/4 took 10 mins because I knew where it was all fastened. Maby, after the falcon's road legal, we can pull out the motor and tranny for parts like starter, alternator and other such items.
