the car just sleeps.

That's very common on W124. Especially the 260's: they tend to go into Hybernation modus sometimes

Now update it you lazy German

time for a update. some weeks ago i started on my w124 again. the front is completely disassembled for an overhaul. rust everywhere but underneath everything is as it was then.

a picture some weeks ago when i started. next to my car an civic ej who gets the full program from a shaved interieur up to a complete paintjob.



the rust defense started at the a-pillar. there are several metal sheets over each other, a perfect spot for rust. at first it looked like on the left, later coatless like on the right. currently is a rust converter on it.



in the meantime brought a package a little motivation.



sometimes i sit also in the car to motivate me.



in the meantime, i have broken down the entire front axle. buying new is out of the question if it is not absolutely necessary. the parts were never as good as back in the days.



unfortunately, i have made not much photos in recent times. i'm going to change and make a few more of the current status.

it's a long way, there's more to come! hope you enjoy the thread!

Nice I tried out the kelleners on my diesel 124, it is a love **** for those wheels.

[hypetoday]

NOT.

[MattCarter]

would love to see some wide ass 3piecers

[hypetoday]

just a little i think. it depends on the adapters, because as you know these are bmw wheels in 5x120. i really dont know how this comes out at the moment!
