I hadn’t washed the Merc since I got it about 6 months ago, so I decided it was finally time to give it a little TLC. The wheels were the worst (this one pictured was probably the cleanest of the four), with years of brake dust caked on em. Took a lot of simple Green, scotch brite and elbow grease to bring em back, but I’m quite pleased with the result.

Waiting for the sun to go down a bit to give it probably the first coat of wax it’s seen in years.

I have a 1983 300D and I have wanted to get the wheel kit from mercedessource but haven’t yet. If I had a garage I would just jack the car up and do it, but I don’t...

Difficult to kill, and comfortable. Had a W124 300D, that had it’s own problems. Your is simpler, and better.

Yea so far the only issue I’ve had is a water pump that started leaking. Other than that, she takes me to and from work 300 miles/week and doesn’t complain at all. Even the sunroof still works!
