Oh and I cleaned and semi-polished the Distribution covers

I think I will have to discuss with you in a year or so when I will work on my engine so you can give me some advice! :-)

[loekaaz]

I think you have the wrong idea of my knowledge...

[MBBelgium]

sucks

I prefer this thread too tbh...
And the bent valve, well.... let's call it "an expansion of my learning curve"

Dropped the rear subframe from the coupe last night. Now I can refurbish the whole subframe and LSD and refit it to the Sedan.

I still have the old subframe of my previous 300E parts car laying around. So I will pop that one underneath the coupe tonight so I will still have a rolling chassis again






TL-lights on the lift fuck-up the celli-pics



Oh and yes, in the background you can see my new daily CLK 500

cool thread

Got the old 300E subframe down from my storage space (It's the one with the primered dust shields). Came to the conclusion that the 300E subframe is actually in a better shape than the Coupe's.




Apparently, the one of the 300E had already been replaced somewhere in the past and therefore has better suspension arms and base frame.
On the other hand, the Coupe's subframe has better bearings, brakes, Hubs and ofcourse the LSD.
It seems like i'm going to have to build a hybrid frame out of these two...


See the comparison-shots:

300E sedan:


300CE Coupe:

Last weekend I converted the electrical telescopic adjustable steering wheel from the Coupe to the Sedan. It didn't work in the Coup, but that appeared to be a quick fix due to a missing fuse. haha so simple

Again I must apologize for the awful celli's. I think my phone's cam is about to die soon. Apparently my Sony Experia has the same life span as my last PS2


Removing the old stuff:


replaced the steering lock and ignition:


lots of junk


Such a little button. So much grin on my face It is slowly getting all the true executive's options.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Oh good, you'll soon be able to move the steering wheel through its full range of uncomfortably low positions!

Hell of a lot of work, man. It's going to be awesome when you're done!

Actually, it is way too high for my taste. I would rather like to be able to tilt it more downwards...

Yep. I still need to install power windows in the rear (ofcourse none of you Murricans have that problem, you spoiled brats) and relocate the switches to the rear center console. Then install seat heating in the the back seats. And I also have the power sunshade that still needs to be hooked-up.
Then I have lots of other stuff that I might do in the upcoming decades...

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Interesting. Do you have manual seats or power? I wonder if the power seats sit higher, because the wheel on my '95 is LOW, and I am not a tall person.
