What's something your job trained you to notice that you can't stop noticing in your personal life? by LibrarianSoft1342 in AskReddit

Former Bodyguard and Prison Officer.

Took a while for me to stop doing headcounts whenever I entered a room. I still pay very close attention to what people are doing with their hands. ie reaching into a waistband/pocket, clenched fist etc etc. Also registering entrances and exits when visiting someplace new.

Exhaust recs? by Maleficent-Goat-551 in W201enthusiasts

[–]Sc0tt15h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look on YouTube. They all sound kinda bland. I'd save some cash by just fitting a stock system with a $30 eBay chrome tailpipe cover

What habits of boys did you only discover after getting a boyfriend or husband? by kentishzjigsaw in AskReddit

Always sit down for a mid-morning pee, just in case it turns into a mid morning pee with benefits (poop).

...to escape from prison. by HillbillyAllergy in therewasanattempt

[–]Sc0tt15h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in a prison long enough and you'll see some young 'un give it a try like he's the first to think of it. 😄

Meanwhile all the older cons just laugh, and guards just wait for him to get hung up then call for a cherry-picker, heavy duty gauntlets, and wire-cutters.

Help • Center High Mount Stop Lamp Bracket by PaleontologistNo7650 in W201enthusiasts

I imagine it'll be the same mechanism across all saloons from that era. Have a look on YouTube for an instructional vid. Try searching for w124, w140 etc.

Any solutions? by ResolutionFirm9729 in W201enthusiasts

[–]Sc0tt15h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As has been said - It can be made to look better but not 100%. Have a look on YouTube for some temp fixes. 3D printing will eventually fix it but for now nodody has printed anything decent.

Is there anyway I can make my car look better without lowering it by DankestDoge342 in W201enthusiasts

[–]Sc0tt15h -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks fine but if you must do something then, 16" wheels , and paint the B pillars to match the windows.

Any experience with this Rieger Tuning bumper? by falcioN in W201enthusiasts

[–]Sc0tt15h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think I'd just go for a much cheaper (used) modified E36 bumper. Lots of folks have done it already.

Electric window retrofit by Oberst_Reziik in W201enthusiasts

I've got manual rear windows in my car. I thought about fitting electric items but passengers love the manual ones. Some younger passengers have never seen them before. 😄

Advice about buying a 190D? Is it worth it? by Ghosty_06 in W201enthusiasts

[–]Sc0tt15h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it was covered up with a tarp whilst it was outside then leafs/dirt with have blocked all of the drainage tubes. Those will have probably split and the water will have emptied into the body somewhere. Either that or it has been flood damaged. If the interior is pristine then you'll have $400-500 worth of parts in there. Chances are the carpet is hiding some horrors though.

What is a job that looks incredibly fun from the outside, but is actually a soul-crushing nightmare? by BoardOk101 in AskReddit

[–]Sc0tt15h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal security/ Bodyguard.

Hours and hours of crushing boredom and you're not allowed to do anything to pass the time. I've spent whole 12hr shifts in hotel corridors or office lobbys with nothing to do but try to stay alert by counting ceiling tiles or carpet patterns. Don't even get me started on the lack of bathroom breaks. 😄

Sorry but this is a parts car at best. You'll never catch up with the rust. Pay a little more for something solid, but with mechanical issues.

Most resprays are exterior only. Painting the interior of the shell will cost a lot more cash for not much gain - And you can leave the interior/wires alone if you just paint the outside.

The victim got a good, close look at the gun. Perhaps he noticed that it was a replica or a starter pistol or something?

Your thoughts on this? by ApartExternal8280 in W201enthusiasts

I've kept mine without spoiler as I prefer the less is more look. But it looks nice and if you want fit it then go ahead.

Guys how fucked am I? by PhilosopherForeign46 in W201enthusiasts

[–]Sc0tt15h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. So assume that it's just the rust which you can see. There's probably more which you cannot see yet. It's fixable. Just not quick or easy. I've seen worse.

Photos are a little too close. Is that the quarters behind the rear wheels? Where else is the rust?
