Hey Avidhunter I didn't get it resolved because I was getting caught up with work and such. However, I just worked on my friends '84 Benz and it got me motivated to work on this car. I would like to...
Odd problem now with the car. It starts and idles fine. But when I turn on the heater or A/C, the car starts dying and I have to shut the heater off to get the car idling normal again. Ideas?
Slowly but surely, definitely. I got a new job and am getting paid a bit more. This allows me to bring the Turismo to the shop on Wednesday morning. I've messed with it long enough but don't want to...
Hey rattfink, this thread has been inspirational haha. I have an 84 Turismo that I've been trying to get going over the past two years. The problem for me is both money and my lack of know how on...
Hey thanks for the response. Do I still check the shift linkage if it drives in reverse a nd 1st?Also, my Haynes manual doesn't give a very descriptive account of how to check it for wear.
Alright so I went to start the Turismo. Didn'thave much trouble getting it started. Still a little rough, but nothing outrageous. Took it for a drive and for some reason the gears wont shift. When I...
Got disqualified to go to Boot Camp for the Air Force so now I'm back and I'll be working on this beauty starting Thursday. Got any parts I might need? Let me know.
Soooo...I drove it around the neighborhood and discovered that the clutch needs to be replaced. Kind of sucks. I'm thinking it'll be ready to go by March. But I might be off to boot camp for the Air...
Looks good. Looking forward to following this swap.
Just inquired with a guy selling a Weber 32/36 carb. Hopefully he'll sell it to me so I can swap that in. And hopefully getting my Grant steering wheel soon. Slowly but surely. I want to get it...
Move the decimal over two slots to the left and you got yourself a deal!
Hey all I actually bought the new outter bearings, a puller, and some grease and replaced it tonight. Rides smooth now with no problems. I'm going to drive it a little tomorrow and take it off to...
Alright guys I went ahead and took off the drum and wiped off all the grease. Initially, when I took the wheel off, the locking nut was loose enough to be tightened by hand. Thinking this could be...

Thanks!
Haha cout reading your log brings back of memories of the countless times my old 300zx broke down and I was stuck on the side of the freeway in pitch black dark fixing it. Good stuff.
Hey Turbo thanks for the input. I've decided as of yesterday to stick with black vacuum hoses and I'm actually going with black and gray for the interior. The yellow on the glove compartment was just...
So the idle on my Turismo is still rough and goes up and down constantly. I am finally going to replace the vacuum hoses just to be on the safe side.
I was looking at these...

Hey Scott I just painted a couple of interior pieces of my car with a spray yellow and it actually looks really good. Just thought I'd give you my 2 cents as you paint yours.
**Update***
Rainy days have come and keep me from working under the hood since my car is outside. So I went looking through my garage and found the caps for my wheels. They look much better....
Hey Steve
Whenever you get pictures up, send them way either here or to my email austinlarg@yahoo.com
Also, shipping would be to 94533 so let me know what that will equate to. Thanks
Well I just ordered a wiring harness from ebay for a new deck and I'll be picking up a Grant steering wheel tomorrow off of Craigslist.
Then its to removing the seats, deep cleaning the carpet,...
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I suppose I'll just try to fix the leak.
I'll check out that site. My radiator is leaking pretty good and the "fins" are all bent.
I've been shopping around for parts and am having a hard time finding places that have parts for the 2.2L engine. Most places only have them for the 1.6 model.
Anyhow, will a radiator for a 1.6 be...
