Thanks to all involved in making this possible. I still have my 98 500 and 94 600,I do all repairs on both cars myself,I have had 3 parts cars over the years so I have a good supply of spare parts for these cars.
I have replaced most cylinders on both cars,I have used top hydraulics for rebuild service,but the last couple cylinders I reseald myself,I figured I would try it and see how they hold up,so far it's been about two years and no leaks. The 98 has been a rock solid reliable car,the 94 not so much. I have replaced/ repaired so much on that one that I have probably invested far more than it is worth,but I will continue to throw money at it as needed as long as I am able as it is one of my all time favorites,and I have had well over 100 cars through the years. I am in the automotive field for 40 years now. I have seen most all there is but, the r129 has always been a favorite of mine,from the styling to the engineering,sure there are much easier cars to work on,and more reliable at that,( I worked for Toyota for 20 years)but I have yet to have the overall satisfaction of any vehicle compared to the 129 chassis. Thanks to all for keeping these going. Just curios what areas are you all from? I am south west PA.
