Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - It's alive for the very first time!
This autumn and winter I'm restoring an old wreck, the car would go to an scrapyard, but I bought it just before he sent it to the scrapyard. It had much rust which I've been working with. Now, after about 500 hours it looks hopefully a bit better than before:
Before, when I drove it to the paintshop:
After:
I've almost mounted the whole car completely together, just some small things left.
-further plans are:
-slam it to the ground
-mount my 8 and 9x16" wheels with new 215/40/17
-adjust the IP and 1,4 bar
-stereo
-yellow light bulbs
+ some other details as you'ill see.
I've also some other cars, a 250td '94 silver, and a silver '95 E300D-24v in very good shape, and a '83 BMW e23 745iA, two other w123T 300tdt in pretty good shape(81/84) and an old '69 racecar E9 3.0 cs. The old CS will get a new engine, either om603 with 7-8mm or m51d25 with bigger elements. I have to finish the w123 and the 745 before I begin this huge project..
Hope you'ill like it guys
I like the color! It looks great!

Never care for the rubber band tires on the 123 myself. The fender arch is so round that they look weird in there... How did you lower it?

first long trip to a cruisin' meet, I found these pics on facebook, worked the car worked very well, strong, but can't drive so fast because of the gear ratio(3.46 with 4-speed) I've bought stereo to the car and I'm going to install it as soon as possible...

Yea thats what I have gathered. There really arent coil overs for it. and if I want em its a ton of fabrication.
