FW: [W126 Coupe] 3.27 Diff WITH ABS !!!!!

[Matt Petersen]

Agree, those prices are soooo cheap. Here in NZ we are paying about 3.22
US per gallon which is about 1.21 NZ per litre.

Can't wait to see what you are going to do with the motor Talbir, going
by your previous mods it will be something special.

Matt.
