Re: [portlandmercedesenthusiasts] Re: Finally Posted my 450 SL

Hello Bill,
    Hey my friend glad to give any assistance when possible.
    I found out about the recall when I was referred to a independent Mercedes wrencher ,his name is AL, now my full time mechanic.He is really honest with me and gives great advice and suggestions and even says if I need any advice at all when I, myself is trying to fix a problem to call him and he will talk me through it.Anyway, AL is the one to tell me about the RECALL on the support structure under the front end also you can go to Mercedes sites to find info.I can provide you with the sites but it will have to wait because I'm way to busy today .Anyway a good site is worth alot of info on old Mercedes and the problems you will have to solve .Lets keep in touch ,ai will be more than happy to assit you inanyway possible.
                       Doug

Hey - congrats!

A question for you - how did you find out about the recall? I just got
a 78 280e which is one I have been wanting to get and restore for quite
some time. Someone had said there may be a recall out there but it was
too old for any of the normal sites I am aware of.

Thanks for any info!

Bill
