Hey all, it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. I recently inherited my grandpa's 82 W123 and have too many projects going on so it's time to thin the herd. Bought this car with a blown auto trans so I could swap it to a 5 speed. For those who don't know, this car was only available for one year in the states and was never offered with a manual, making this a unique fun little car.
