I'm having it repainted. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1366608&rss=1 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:59 GMT I need to repaint my beloved 240, but I don't know where to begin. Does anyone have tips for finding a good paint job? What questions should I ask? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1366559&rss=1 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:16 GMT Thanks for that suggestion. I'll check it out now... Leaving work and going for a drive. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1348801&rss=1 Thu, 14 May 2009 22:12 GMT Well, this is embarrassing if it's the cause of the hot engine, but I may have had my parking brake engaged while driving. I drove less than 5 minutes, though I do understand that's still a long time to drive with the brake up. I parked the car for a couple of hours. When I drove it just now, the gauge stayed at about 8:00. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1348778&rss=1 Thu, 14 May 2009 18:47 GMT Had dealer flush radiator and add coolant yesterday, then I went on a 60 mile drive. No problem. Temperature needle stayed steadily at about the half-way point. But today in stop-and-go traffic the needle rose all the way to just under the red. It's never gotten this high, and today isn't an especially hot day. Any thoughts? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1348759&rss=1 Thu, 14 May 2009 16:35 GMT Or maybe I should just keep it well washed/waxed until I get it painted? I expect to have it painted in about 6 months. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1348386&rss=1 Mon, 11 May 2009 22:01 GMT The clear coat on my 240 is worn thin along the top of the car, and small, superficial spots of rust have begun here and there. This year I plan to have the 240 repainted, but I want to stop these rust spots immediately. How do I do it? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1348376&rss=1 Mon, 11 May 2009 20:59 GMT On Friday I'm driving home an '86 240 GL. I'm wondering what questions I should ask the owner about the car's history. For example, I'll ask if the seller has a record of the car's maintenance over the past 23 years. Can you think of anything else? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1347571&rss=1 Wed, 6 May 2009 00:20 GMT Use the text input below to search brickboard.com query http://www.brickboard.com/FIND/
