Another part comes in




Found this offered on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and snatched it up. It's a replacement heater box for the old original decayed-cardboard unit. This one is made of molded plastic, which should - should - hold up just a wee bit better.

The small tube on the right end connects up to just in front of the passenger area. The left end, which is a large circular open area, connects up to some other hardware which connects to a scoop-like piece coming from the side of the front grill. I'll still have to find replacements for those pieces. Brand new bits from Mercedes-Benz for those bits run around $800 altogether! I'm hoping to find some used bits in good shape.

I'm also about to buy some window crank bits from another fellow. One of the window cranks is missing a knob. And I may well be picking up a replacement ignition key switch from someone as well.
