PPI or inspection help in the Columbus OH area
« on: May 13, 2020, 11:32:20 »
Can anybody with W113 knowledge help me in the inspection of an SL in the Columbus area or point me to the door of a respected expert to undertake a PPI?

In case that is not enough to send you to Joe (ja17), just read some of his posts.
He is an expert in the W113, a genuinely nice person, in Blacklick Ohio, and a major contributor to this club.
Good luck with your PPI and "enjoy the ride".

I assume, that is the car that is in Dublin, OH and currently on BaT?

No, I do not. I just saw it on BaT and wondered who the seller was. He claims he sold more Pagodas before. He is 1½ hours away from me.
