Sane or insane?
In April, I bought a 1987 180k 745 GLE Turbo Diesel for $800. In the first few weeks, I got a s/h sunroof and headlining from a 960 for $250, I installed electric windows all round for $200 and had a new clutch and master cylinder installed for $500. In June, I replaced the rear brakes (pads, discs, calipers) for maybe $300 and then I got Nivomats for $400 and new front suspension bushings and tie rods for $200. In August, I have had a new headgasket, a new head, radiator and a complete service with glowplugs, fluids and belts; all for $1500. Add to this a handsfree Nokia car kit, a Kenwood headunit with 10 CD changer, four Pioneer speakers, an electric antenna, dog guard and a third seat and I'll end up having spent $5000. The car is now as good as new with no known problems. What do you people think? Sane or insane?
