Our project

Alright. So a few weeks ago we bought these two old "totaled" Mercedes on craigslist. One was sideswiped and one had front end damage. So we bought them and started out little project...i mean big project. We towed the two cars down to my Dad's shop and got to work. We took all the parts we needed off of the sideswiped car and put them on the front end damage car...which is a 1994 S420. Here is a picture of the 420 after we got the crushed hood off. You can't tell but it is missing a radiator, trans cooler, bumper, among other things.

It took us about one and a half days straight to finish. We got all of the parts switched over and put all new liquids in it too. It runs like a champ!

Looks like a whole new car huh? You would never know it was totaled.

The interior was untouched and just needed some lovin!

I wish I would have gotten more picture of how filthy we were. We looked like mechanics. That's right...i helped a lot. As surprised as I am to say this, I actually had a lot of fun on this big project...but don't really want to do it again. haha!

Without the Internet

I never realized how much I relied on the internet until we cancel led ours. We have been with out the internet for a month....hence no posting for a month. Finally it drove me crazy to the point where i saved the last months excitement on a zippy and drove to mom and dad's place. haha. So you are going to get a few postings today.
Below is a slide show of my Dad's ski tourny that took place about a month ago at Broadside Harbor in Caldwell. Shay and I and some friends and even my mom went and hung out for the day. We watched skiers, trick skiers, and jumpers compete for their chance to qualify for regionals. It was a great day of hot sun and good times.
