Anyone still alive?

I am noticing that there is less and less activity on the forum.
Is there anyone left with a running 300?

Re: Hi I’m new have a 340

Inner sills where only made as a complete section (going around the complete door opening).
I have not seen one in the last 25 years, not exaggerating (!!), so your best bet is to make a repair pannel yourself or get a part from a scrapper.

Re: Question about clutch

The clutches for the CVT and the manual on the 1.4 are different.
The clutches for the D16 and B172 can sadly enough not be used on the 1.4
Yes they did create a head ache....

Re: Handle coating

The actual handles are different per door (left and right hand side front (with a lock) and left and right hand side rear (without a lock) ), but the seals in between the door and the door handle are identical.

Re: 343 GL

Also a good place to look is www.Born-Built-Beauties.eu
Plenty of parts.
Looking in the UK, it is probably good to put an ad on this site and the fb forums.
