1981 300SD
1981 300SD
Needs an engine swap, have a spare in the garage that I'm gonna do all the engine mods to. Just gonna drive this one till it blows.
MODS:
EGR Disabled
ALDA Removed
Boost Gauge
Staight Pipes - chopped the resonators and muffler, welded autozone pipes in their place.
Laser Interceptor - police laser jammer. Received as a Christmas present after drooling over it for months. Saved me from at least 50 tickets now.
AL129X - 115 amp alternator
Trailer Hitch - Home made from angle channels and square tubing + Harbor Freight receiver. Passed the "pull test" - tied the hitch to a tree and floored it, didn't budge...
Sound System - Infinity Reference 6432CF x4 all around, driven with a 1000W Sony Xplod amp. "Aux out" jack in the trunk under the amp for connecting huge tailgating speakers (also disconnects main speakers so they don't blow when I turn the amp up). 2x Boss BASS1500s velcrod to the rear shelf (easily removed and hidden..).
On Board Air - Foxxair 100% duty compressor and a removable 7 gallon tank in the trunk. Train horn mounted under front bumper.
Plans:
GT2256V - Sitting for over a year, electronic controls are functional at the moment, but require the presence of a laptop. Need adapter plate.
Intercooler - Want to put an A/W IC in once the VNT is... The ones on ebay look like they'd fit pretty good in a W126 and still let me keep the stock air filter.
New IP - Have an '85 MW pump (thanks winmutt) sitting in my apartment waiting for a good cleaning. Hoping that the 8mm element buy works out...

Same car, maaco paint job on a pullapart fender + driver door. Prep and primered them myself. Surprisingly good job, I can barely tell up close, hopefully it won't peel.

You'll have to take that up with the Princeton Review...
