Picked up another S class

Continue to have fun buying S classes and tinkering with them. The 2006 S430 I picked up and replaced one part has been trouble free for over ten thousand miles in the last four months.

Funny I see to keep finding the same color. Picked up this 2004 S500 4matic. What I liked best about it- MB maintained its entire life.

Also picked up a old fashioned bumper jack last week. With all the plastic bumper covers they have gone out of style, but very useful with a smashed up S500.

I will tear this down for parts, although the repair does not seem so tough. The air lines are cut, but seems the unibody is visually ok. I will still strip it down. From the doors to rear bumper, body is mint.

I plan to stash these at Smokie's summer home while he is in Florida for the winter.... As my Wife is not at all happy with the driveway.

Smokie, I can't keep these around much longer, Wife gave me until mid Decemeber. Looking at either stripping them or sending them to the community college and have the body shop students have a shot at taking two bad and making one good....

Well there's a novel idea! I have seen that done before. My brother had 2 wrecked Impalas and it got turned into one! The car came out surprisingly well ! Better try and curb that impulse buying for a while ! Or you might end up living in one of them ! LOL !
