1.5 years ago-

30-40 vintage MBs on site, fairly complete apart from what people have taken.
also (unrelated to diesel world, but important to me) 30-40 of the same year range work van I drive.

Went today-

Place has been purchased by a national recycling chain, office and processing facility vastly improved.
-every single vintage MB crushed
-every single my type of van, save 1, crushed

new cars lose rims before they even get in the yard, 25 newer MBs in there, not a single rim or lug! I went in trying to find long bundt lugs for my 115
Nothing has any rims on it anymore, and they are all sitting on the ground. Guy says they recycle all the aluminum rims off the old cars. I am pissed off, have to order lugs off the internet now.

1974 240D 617 turbo swap, W201 5-speed, in the works project
1983 240D 616 stock, DD
1989 Chevy Astro, 617 turbo swap, T5 5-speed, 4.56 diff, work van
