[W126 Coupe] service CDs

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Steve:

I absolutely would appreciate any and all sub-sections to the M103 motor 
if you can spare the time.  Or if it's easier let me know of a link and 
I'll pull them over using FTP if you are so equipped.

I'd be most happy to send you these pdf pieces I've created for a number 
of 126 chassis and M103 repairs if you think they can be made available 
to others.  I've been working with Marcus and sending him this and that 
but, it would be easier for me if they were just published somewhere for 
anyone to use.  Let me know.

Thanks,

Dick
