Well she got her name Pricilla from a group of friends that i worked with. She reminded us of this old lady that we all knew and, no matter how Hard I try, The names stuck. I purchased her from the original family in 2005 from my best friends dad. He really didnt have use for it and, no one else in the family could drive a stick-shift. Let alone a diesel stick shift. I had wanted this exact car since I first saw it in their garage in 2002. It wasn't until 2005 that It was offered to me for purchase. Needless to say i've owned it now for 5 years, 2 of which I used her as my daily driver. Now she's my constant project/ summer car. Recently this past summer (2009) I did a thourogh body restoration as a littl ebit of the northwest's moister got to her front fender. Purchased 2 new OM fenders from Mercedes-Benz Directly and my neighbor who's a body shop guy, painted them, fixed misc. dings on its 26 yrld body and, I put her all back together agian just to drive her once before winter set in. Have to wait until spring to show her off some!
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
2.4 Diesel engine with 262K on the clock.. Still starts and runs like shes brand new
Suspension Modifications:
none- Run Billstein all around
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
none. 14inch original tire size
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
removed paint from hub caps and buffed to a chrome shine, when I did front fender restore, obsoleted the antena mast.
Future Modifications:
Just a bunch of R&R fun, next im going to tackle engine mounts, suspension components and interiror seat springs
