1985 300td euro 5spd swap turbo diesel
She lives again after 3 years of silence. I still need to pull the turbo and fix a leaky intake manifold gasket so i can get some boost and bleed the clutch and brakes and install the exhaust system
Here is a video of it running and driving with 5spd goodness. I need to install the exhaust and replace the intake manifold gasket its leaking boost. And it need the rear nitrogen canister replaced badly
Its a stock diff from the automatic 1984 us spec car.
Today I installed the euro front bumper to finish off the front end of the car
The rear diff ratio is either 3.07 or 2.88
Update just got car running again i just replaced the power stearing return hose and huydraulic feed hose for the sls rear suspention no more leaks next new motor mounts brakes all around the. Tires alignment a few new gauges and some euro interior goodness to come ill try and update some pictures soon maybe a video
I just swaped both motor mounts today and will be pulling the oil pan to replace the oil pick up screen as last time i had the pan off the pick up was missing so i orderd a new one. Updade no more leaks at least while its sitting now so thats a win next project brakes and tires. I really want to find a nice set of pentas for it and the AMG front air dam just got to pinch some pennys for awhile
Quick update here is a video i made
