I've secretly always wanted a wagon, so I bought a 1981 300TD W123

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

The car is now a 4 speed manual.

I also tracked down some matching zender side skirts that I have yet to install.

I have some recaro classics that I need to get reupholstered to match.

Looking for some Pentas.

Getting a new job, and a pickup truck as a daily so I can do a mild restoration of this thing. It really needs a motor.

Oh I'm also typing this while at the muffler shop having my new brabus style tip put on.

That is a lot of awesome in one post.

Love the build Mike, can't wait to see how the Penta will look after a good refinish!

Thanks ya'll! The 3 pedal thing is pretty fun. It's my 3rd manual car, so it's nice getting back into the habit. I was always bored driving the thing when it was auto.

In case you all are curious, I bought MrBenz's ATS pentas. The Enkei's will get demoted to winter status, so I can sell all my 14 inch wheels and upgrade my brakes.

Current look



Last month with the ski box.






Here's my new tails, and brabus style exhaust.

The ones you posted are Ronal R9's, or knockoffs of them.

Yep. They seemed fine to me.

Interested in hearing how it works out, I'd like a pair of the rears someday to make a staggered set. When they were messaging me they said something about 16x8et11 front 16x9et0 rear, which is perfect.

Are you going to be at the Leavenworth or stancewars show this summer ? If so , I cant wait to see your car . I love the lip & the Enkei's together , just finishes off the package .
