Rusted out beat down 300d turbo 82' -- RIP
Nice body, tons of ridiculous mechanical issues - 300d turbo 82' /motor 85'

pretty cool, Wish We could just let these bacteria's do their thing in our garage and wake up to a plentiful source of Bio Diesel and just fill up out tank.

them bacteria are the wave of the future boy. We can genetically engineer bacteria to do our bidding and they reproduce and love it. Fear the day they become sentient.
I guess they have bacteria to help decompose plastic and all kinds of stuff. So they can make diesel fuels from plastics or from natural cellulose/sugar.
Great

Myb we are like 50 yrs from it becoming commercial and like 100yrs from it moving into a garage and shed at home Wink

I bet there will still be a few 617 about to run the shit too Wink

Awesome

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

one of my professors at UCSD was part of the S.D. biofuels council or something like that and they are working on developing algae to make fatty acids to use in esterification reactions to make diesel like fuels... Ive been meaning to get back over there as they meet up pretty much every saturday to do cool stuff like that... my goal, once I sell my condo and get my place in the hills is to make a bioreactor to generate enough BD to be self sufficient... he tells me that the technology is there to pretty much support that (maybe 75-80 gals per week) but no where near what is required to be market competitive... they have achieved around 20% efficiency in a test tube style experiment, but as the reaction is scaled up, it loses efficiency really quickly... like only 3-4% sustainable...

W123 Mods: 4 speed ** manual climate control ** '85 Kalitucky intake ** manual windows & full tint ** Euro headlights retrofit w/bixenon projectors ** 4 brake light mod ** Vogtland 50mm drop front & Lesjofors S600 drop rear springs ** 16" rims ** late w126 brake spindles, rotors & calipers ** full suspension rehab ** Bilstein HDs ** AL129X alternator & 1/0 starter and charging cables ** 300GD clutch/flywheel ** AFCO 80103N radiator & Earl's 41610 oil cooler ** custom block-off plate, remote oil filter & t-stat ** MW IP w/ tomnik's 6.5mm 'Holly' elements **

S124 Mods: 400E Rear subframe ** SL600 Brakes ** Late 300E 210mm diff ** SLK230 6 speed ** 17" CLK rims ** Vented RF Fender ** Facelift Hood, Headlights, and Lower Cladding **
