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

Kelly,

 

If you need any wiring let me know.  I have an 88 SEC gutted right now, and I mean gutted.  Not much left inside, mostly wires at this point!

Yes you are right it was a flood car many years ago and I knew this when I
bought the car for $2400 and I now have about $13,000 into it too late to
turn back now. Hey it looks good

Kelly,

Was this car flooded at any point? Or was it a dead short in the 
harness somewhere? Are those rear seats heated? BTW, my questions and 
perhaps answers will become less helpful as i complete my second pint of 
Killian's. I've a sutures mending on two locations and I'm not one for 
pain pills you see.

The Boston Celtics have played some good basketball for you sports fans 
out there.
