Swede - MB 190D 2,5 turbo - swede - 05-23-2011
![[Image: blocket.jpg]](http://awdturbo.net/190d/blocket.jpg)
Here's my 1988 190D with 2.5 turbo engine. Imported to Sweden from Germany in 1998 with the following options:
Auto trans
Cruise control
Manual sunroof
Manual windows
Power lock
For the moment it sits at a friends shop for maintance and rust removal
I been working as an auto tech for over 20 years (8 in Dallas Texas) but these days i'm running my own towing company so i don't have much time to work on my cars. Will be a full paint job after the rust been taking care of, and i'm replacing both front fenders.
What to do and what's been done::

The rear spoiler fits much better on my car, right?

And my powerlock vacuum pump is defekt so the junkcar had to surrender it's to me

This junkcar was sold brand spanking new to the US ambassy in Stockholm, why would the US Ambassy buy a small MB 190 2.0?
Here's a picture of the thing i forgot the english name on? Anyway it's fixed now, had a huge hole in it.

Had a Syclone #2550, bought it in Dallas when i lived there and imported back home to sweden but it's no longer mine. Biggest money pit of car i ever had
The Dakota R/T i bought brand spanking new from Huffines Dodge in Lewisville Texas (my work place between 1997-2004), Chrysler bought it back due to that class act law suit in 99.

Got a junk 190 2.0E for free as a parts car, nice when you have your own tow truck
Stripped for paint, keeping the stock #702 smoke silver above the mid body line. Under line will be #122 pearl grey, but there was no pearl in that paint
In both paint recepies there are both fine silver and extra fine silver because it's metallic colors.
My painter are going to replace the fine silver with a more course silver so the paint be more metallic look.

RE: Swede - MB 190D 2,5 turbo - iheartboost - 08-19-2011
so is it difficult to fix the jack points holes? mine are rusted as well and thats pretty much all the rust i have. so if i can fix that pretty easy i may do that and get it repainted.

Not difficult if you know how to operate a MIG welder, i guess you can buy all the sheet metal you need from a local Auto part store.
RE: Swede - MB 190D 2,5 turbo - iheartboost - 08-19-2011
great. i can handle a mig welder. did you just use steel and recoat it with some sort of anti rust?
RE: Swede - MB 190D 2,5 turbo - Oil Burner - 08-19-2011
Looks nice I cant see the 2 tone paint though.

Yes sir, but you can buy the right sheet metal if you want too:
