I wanted to post, if this is OK with everyone, a dialog of my R170 project.
I inherited this car from my father in law, just a few months back. I remember him talking about purchasing this cars for what seemed years, it was a dream come true for him, a 1998 SLK 230.
I never really recognize that the car was needing help, and maybe it decayed from just sitting during his later years sitting, not seeing any action.
I had worked as a mechanic in my younger years as I paid my way through college, so I still have all of my mostly unused tools still in the garage.
My wife's first request was for me to look at the car to see if I can get it started so they can sell it, I think others in the family may of tried to do the same.
As the battery was close to dead, I was not successful with jumping, and finally could not get a mileage reading so they can donate it, so I bought a battery.
This is when it all started..
