[W126 Coupe] mud flaps

[Dick Spellman]

Kelly,

No to the dealer.  Find a reputable independent.  If you want someone to 
really give things a going over and look under the covers for any other 
surprises, I'd drive that baby up to Jonathan's shop and leave it there 
for a while.  I wish that guy lived closer as it's clear he cuts no 
corners and does a superb job on these MB's.

Just a thought.  I probably sound like the chorus for that guy but, hey 
I've gutted and totally renovated several MB's now using him as a supply 
source and as a technical source.  I still have all my hair and several 
beautiful MB's as a result.

Dick
