Hello Jeff, George, Denny,
Thanks for all your well wishes!
I was a quick speedy Gonzales with the PUB event, rain and muggy out there. Was too much for my hearing aid to get wet and shorted out.
So it was a short stay and my friend Al and I left to go to some antique stores for some browsing under a roof and in A/C space.
Sorry Joe, You did a spendid job with putting up with the wrath of mother nature. Everything looked perfect and the setting was spetacular as ever.
Thanks so much for the tags for my friend.
Jeff, I havent tried out the rear end yet as I didnt have enough 80/90 WT gear oil to fill the diff housing.
Will go and buy another bottle today. Manual? Heck yes! I dont like the automatics, every Mercedes except the finny wagon had automatics. This one was an automatic, but I changed it over to a 5 speed getrag manual.
George, thanks and hope the rear end is actually a 3:75 one that I gave you. But no matter, I'd be happy to help you install it if you are still nearby in Va.
Denny, I'd be happy to help you with your conversion too, if we both can find a good time to swap them . It might be a bit easier to do the swap in my spacious garage. Which might have a 1970 280SL that I will put back together from boxes for another SL member.
And you can time me from the start to finish. Smile
Thanks all again!
