I ♥ my Sonderklasse.

[GTShunter]

Wow I really like that car. Wish I had one.

[RubbderDucky]

Bit of a bump but any updates on this? I'm intrigued to see how the hell that engine came apart.

I wish I could give you some updates. I lost my job again, and haven't had reliable enough work to make enough extra money to fix the car. I can tell you that just about every bolt has stripped on my way to taking it apart. Its at the point now where I'm just better off finding a donor car than fixing this motor. I still have the car and I'm not planning on selling it, I just don't have the financial stability to fix it right now, the Camaro sucks up my extra car funds because its a pos and breaks every other week lol.

Some progress made, and lots of frustration.

Got the "wiring harness" off, if you would call it that, its like 6 wires.



Then pulled almost all the bolts out of the intake, and broke my socket in the process.







Then the LAST bolt needed to take off the intake stripped.

This little fucker right here. It will be pulled with extreme prejudice this weekend.

i thought those were called "barock"

there's a dude on here, who makes 3pc wheels out of monoblocks


3 pc penta ftw, and the ****** can go shit themselves

[RubbderDucky]

BOY THOSE TIMING CHAINS SURE DO LOOK FUN TO REPLACE.

....said no one ever.

im looking forward to the progress, i really do love this car.

Lol, truth right there. I get to pull the whole thing since I'm rebuilding it.

Those mercs look fun to play with




























Not


What type if gpm do you see with it?

I enjoy working on it because I love the car. I got anywhere between 8-12MPG on a worn out motor. My buddy who has the same car, just non AMG gets around 17 city with a fresh motor.

Following your project for a long time, needs more updates!

Engine doenst look that bad imo.

I know, I moved and hadn't had time until yesterday to touch it. I was actually working on my Camaro yesterday and decided to mess with it while I was waiting on the Camaro to cool off.

Yay progress!

[RubbderDucky]

It has begun. Got some parts in last Wednesday, more coming this Friday. I got the alt bracket off, along with part of the thermostat housing. I started on the power steering pump and bracket, but my parents invited me to dinner so I stopped. Picking back up tomorrow where I left off today.

[RubbderDucky]

Thats a lot of parts mane. Do work.

That's only half, I still have to buy oil, other gaskets, get head work done, a special tool for the guides and other shit.

I need one of those in my life.

[Stupid Kid]

My dream wheels, no budget constraints, would be 3 piece 15" bundts with a step lip, maybe 1". That would be so sick.

And so it begins...
