the goal i'm working towards at this point is to have a really clean 'restored' 240D. any upgrades from stock will just be for safety / comfort. that means brakes, lights, suspension, tires. easier to justify if everything has a really direct relation to safe operation of the car
i'm really hoping everything comes out as i'm picturing - if all goes well i could feel comfortable bringing this thing to cars and coffee (big car meet in irvine)worked on cleaning out hte engine compartment, and praise fsm, the paint is all still totally fine except a couple small nicks. this thing is so clean its unbelievable.
hitting up ecology tomorrow for some parts. going to try and find a good set of W126 calipers so i can run them on the 240 (and probably just buy new rotors). if i get lucky maybe there will be a crack-free black dash to be had
no pics right now, will update tomorrow.

pulled apart the headlights. polished the headlight doors, polished the chrome bezels, and pulled the old sealed beams out. looks like i'm going to get those 7" bosch H4s that busdepot has on sale, and get some 5 3/4" H1 or H3 high beams to put in place of the fogs. not sure what bulb wattage to rock on the 7" - 90/100w would be cool but i dunno if it will look TOOOO bright. i don't mind wiring up relays to do it, but i don't want to end up with the 'ricer look' either....
