Hey, I have a 2003 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 4.7L Magnum v8, my dad bought the truck off the showroom floor and drove it home $50,000. Great truck to drive gets decent milage has 2 Flowmaster super 10s sounds great. But that's not the point, the point is I want to make this truck look brand new from the inside. What I want to know is how to clean the crud on my 4x4 shifter and how do I remove the flu that sticks to my seats, and how to restore headlights on the cheap (no sandpaper, just home remedies)

Make sure to call your dad a cuck at least once a day from now on.

If you can't afford sandpaper then you probably shouldn't even start detailing - especially not a 4x4 truck. Just pressure wash the whole thing inside and out then let it dry in the sun all day with the doors open. That's what I do.
Looking at a '79 Diesel Hipster Memecedes on CL right now
Anyone familiar with working with these? The interior is suspiciously pristine and it's going for $2500 with >200k miles.
I'm constantly hearing "it'll eat your wallet" and "it'll run forever", so which is more true?
>>14730081
5th Gear put explosives in the engine bay of a diesel mercedes and it still started up.
Africa loves Mercedes
It will run forever.
Link to CL?
Unless you're poor as fuck it won't eat your wallet, parts are easy to find and cheap. Not to mention the w123 community is huge so if anything goes wrong you'll be able to find a guide that walks you through the repair.
>>14730081
It will eat your wallet if you don't service and repair it yourself. It's 37years old, so of course some things will need fixing. The thing about those cars is that the drivetrain can run pretty much forever if you keep up with maintenance and fix the small shit that happens (leaky seal, bad hoses, radiator etc.)
At that age, rust is definately something you need to look at, and anything made out of rubber that has not yet been replaced will need to be rather soon, most likely. Don't expect it to...

Thoughts on Mazda MX3?
Looks lame, but is small and quite cheap, especially comparing with Miata.
Should be fun driving, they're quite powerful for their weight.
Best first drift missile imo
Quite hard to control the winter, but hell, it's the fate of every rwd
>>14730049
The MX-3 is FWD.
Howcome Ford Europe is better than Ford America?

Different market, different cars. never caught on in the american market. (Mk1 capri, escorts)
Also purchasing cosworth was one of their best decisions.
>>14729954
It's all part of Global Ford now which is pretty cool, they've done a nice job transitioning into a truly global manufacturer.
Recommend a poorfag his first car.

Miatas pretending to drift.
Are E30s expensive to maintain?
I know BMWs in general are money pits.
They are for the unemployed.
You're posting one with a Poland plate. If you live in Poland, it'll be pretty cheap, especially if you know how to work on a car.
Idk what's this fuss about BMWs being expensive to maintain. Every fucking bydlo has a BMW, including me.

What can be swapped into a Nissan D21 effectively? I've fantasized about making a baja shitracer out of one.
>>14726738
not too familiar with hardbodies personally but im sure if you join a forum specific to them youll have shitloads of posts about it at your disposal.
if it were me id swap in a diesel of somekind but i guess that wouldnt be too great for a baja shitracer

First care was an 82 monte carlo.
Piece of shit it was. Left me stranded more than once. 0-60 was about 13 seconds. I left it to rot on my grandparents land in the middle of nowhere.
Regret it now. Realize I didn't take care of it like I should. Would like to find a similar one to do as a project car at some point.
