It's so strange seeing a Texas plate on a car overseas as a "vanity plate" lol. Car looks great man, what are the spring/shock combo you used to getting that low?sigpic

time for an update.
i decided to leave my car over the winter in my hometown at a friends workshop. my new winter golf mk II in the mirror and the sun on the german autobahn.
after the last stop at the petrol station the shock - the car doesnt start anymore. trailertime for the last 90 km. the engine is gone.
that's by the way the wintergolf. but i sold him after lowering, some small repairs and a little wheel fitment. for the winter, i wanted a rwd car.
and i found some. a cheap w201 with a rare color combination. that should be okay.
some issues but now tüv approved.
a friend heard about my engine issues with the w124 and made me an offer. i should disassemble his car to take the engine and the airride. all other parts should I sell for him. it's a w201 2.6 and it was his ride some years ago. maybe the first w201 with an proper airride system in europe. if you ask why disassembling: no one should drive the car anymore. it was his baby and no one except me should get it.
i took the chance and gave the little buddy a last ride with some of his friends made of german steel.
then we have deducted the blue film and tried my 2013 wheels on the car because the paintjob is the same like mine.
now it's time to rebuild the air suspension to fit into my w124. i really thank my friend for this chance, to get a proper setup with a minimum amount of money.
i miss the summer. but i wish everybody happy wintertimes!
it's a long way, there's more to come! hope you enjoy the thread!Comment

You know, I usually don't like shaved door handles, but I REALLY like them on that W201!
On the air ride brackets: they looks very similar to what I have being made up right now. Do the adapter cups have anything to keep them from rotating, or did your friend find this to not be an issue?
Really looking forward to seeing your ride on air!

the picture of the adapters was taken right after the removement. and one of them rotated (the left one on the picture) because on bolt was missing. if you have 2 bolts, it can't rotate in my opinion. there are numerous opportunities for improvement.Originally posted by Oh Damn, it's Sam View PostComment

Sorry, I should have explained better - I mean the adapter cups rotating in the spring pockets on the body and control arms.

as i know they never rotated this way. they were fixed with one bolt and some kind of a plastic disc in the center. the original springs also do not rotate, so i think this is not the problem. the complete system was approved by the german tüv.Originally posted by Oh Damn, it's Sam View Post
where do you mount your fittings? at the w201 they were attached to the side. which I do not think is right.Comment
