Wrong offset.
I would have to carry a few spacers and longer lug bolts to use one off the 126.
So after smashing on the new brakes up in the mountains the biggest thing I noticed is that they don't fade as near as easy. I actually didn't get them to fade once in the same area that I got the stockers to fade out easy. I did smell them but they did not fade.
My friends wagon and his dads wagon at a game of frisbee golf today.
(02-07-2011, 08:30 PM)winmutt LMK what your plan for a spare is.AAA. Both my cars have batteries in the spare tire well. I keep a 15" spare at home so if I get a flat its either simple tow home or, if I'm local, a bus ride home.
Quote:Wrong offset.No they aren't. I've used 15" wheels from a 560SEL for years.

And it's my color too. I haven't been able to find another with the darker brown. I actually noticed how nice the back seat was lol.

Id do business with her any day.
I split the transmission case with to much pressure in the trans
Started out a nice day
Took this pile of transmission parts added anothe pile of transmission parts
Cleaned and assembled them into this
And it has 4 gears forward and 1 reverse again.
Took it for a test drive and it's all good. Yay. Back to 26+ mpg instead of this Effing 12- in the superduty.
Next on the aganda is to install my e-codes I got from garage when I purchased his 79 240dog
Thanks. I need to clean the euros up and try to find some new glass but one is in.
Awwww The Euros look much better!
Well the reflectors are shot (chrome backing is gone) and the lenses are pitted like crazy. I'm going to run them like they are but id like to get some new glass.
Is right! If I cover the passenger headlight with my hand she looks Evil!
Ill take a pic of it all converted tomorrow at work for ya'll. i put them in tonight when i was still at the shop.. Hid conversion coming soon too. its kinda cool and odd with the fog lights on the outsides.
Pictarrrr!!
Grrrrr
looks a lot better the lenses are on eBay for not to much here and there!
on the w123 I got the euros brand new after market for $150 shipped
and installed 6k hids for low beams and 10k hids in the fog lights for my highs and rewired it so they work together!
I would like to get the reflectors redone somehow. Ill mexichrome them for now.
Yeah that looks a million times better! A totally different car...
That first pic with the new lights, the car looks so pissed off! I love it!!
It does look angry lol. Car has come a long way in a short time. I'm hesitant to put the bigger elements in as more stuff will start to break. As it sits it's a great driver. Just enough power to no be super slow and enough to have fun in the twistys.
It's snowing in southern California!!!
Was 28 at my house Saturday night. The Benz started perfectly
I think mine needs 2 glowplugs. It starts a little rough and smooths out after few seconds. I got a flashing glowplug light once too.
Oh while I was banned I redid the reflectors in my headlights and had to cut the belt on my a/c compressor since it decided to start to sieze up and smoke the clutch on the compressor.
Chrome spray paint aka mexichrome. Hit them with a soft scotchbrite pad first then a few coats of the paint.

My cars stumble a lot less on cold startup after I removed the ALDA.
Also I let the wait about 15 seconds after the glowplug light turns off and she starts much better with no stumble...
found a video! my car at 5:58 lol
haha nice!

How does that compare to the original silver lining?

Hmm^. I might try that.
But the lighting is fine IMO. It will be better once I get hids in them.
Oh and differential #2 just started making noise. The same noise as the last one. WTF. I'm going to weld the cross pin to the carrier and rock it till I get another diff. Hopefully a 2.88.

265 will be fine.

I got mine welded up a I'm doing a trip.
Alright just drove 185 miles averaging 75mph and the diff is fine now after I welded the pin to the carrier. I used 1/4 tank of fuel and if I do the math it's around 34mpg not bad for that speed.
Well put another 200 mi on it and it started to make noise again. So this time I welded it all. Spider gears were shot so I just welded the diff.
I also added my aux tank from the 240d
My left side seems to get darker if I don't wash it or a week lol
