Actually, SE (1985), and yes it is an S-Class. In fact, if you're interested, I'll show you the 1985 brochure I have that calls it an S-Class.
So...European Cars? That looks like a nice shop, but when I call to get a pricing quote I always have a hard time being understood (which could be my fault since I am typically multi-tasking when on the phone). What would you guys charge to change the window regulator slider (I have the part) if I bring it to you uninstalled from the car (I don't have a drill so I can't do it myself)?
Also, do you have a way to check the alignment, i.e. not correct it but just tell me where it is so I can decide what adjustments I want made (I don't want to do it to factory spec, I'm willing to give up some stability for a sharper turn in)?
Also, do you have a guy there who can make nice clean welds? I want to replace my current 5x10x22 Bassani muffler with a 4x8x22 so it will mount flush.
Finally, do you have a Hunter Roadforce Balancer and the two-piece Mercedes wheel weights?
BTW, SE is Sonderklasse Einspritzen, SEL is Sonderklasse Einspritzen Lang, and SEC is Sonderklasse Einspritzen Coupe, hence, S-Klasse, hence S-Class.

we try to stray away from adjusting away from the factory specs unless your vehicle is strictly for track use... we can give you a print out of where your current alignment specs are, but we will have to charge you to pull it on the alighnment rack
as for the exhaust we dont do custom exhuast work like that, sorry
we do have a hunter roadforce balancer, no wo dont have the two peice mercedes wheels weights, but for a cleaner look you may ask to have stick-on weights installed (my opinion is they are better)

Re: Williamsburg Members
best way to get estimates is to go there in person.... i cant give price quotes over the internet like this

On the alignment - to give you an idea of the car, here's a cruddy impromptu video http://davidson.smugmug.com/gallery/...50987048_tuKLB (oh, and that's not valve tap, I tightened the altnerator belt and the noise went away, which confused me because it sounded exactly like valve tap)
So, is there any good shop in the area to have the current muffler cut off and a new muffler welded in?

Re: Williamsburg Members
So with the stick on weights, do they balance as well even though they're further in on the wheel? I figure the outer edge is the best place for the weight to be.

Re: Williamsburg Members
Same can be said about Farm Fresh, where you get the same exact things as Ukrops for 1.5 times the price (notice how their price comparison chart never includes Ukrops).
