Next in line, Exhaust(i try my best to get that done during this week) after that there is only small details to work on, so hopefully on weekend i get to test drive it the first time

Heres the list i'm missing currently:
-Radiator
-Airfilter
-Clutchline(going to pickup today)
-Powersteeringline(going to pickup today)
-Exhaust(going to pickup supply today)
-Cardan(today goes for company that does custom cardans)
-Custom front swaybar(or one from W124 400E)
-Steeringrods needs to be changed.

So im happy if i get all that done this week

todays update, some small bits worked out and some test fitting photos:

Bracket done for atf oil

Test fitted Air flow meter fitment and generally pipes / hoses...

I picked up new Griffin radiator today, so test fitted that..

Nice pass for cold air for airfilter


Also i fitted clutchline + bleed it. and after these photos i cleaned up the wirings.. im still waiting on the exhaust manifolds.. hopefully i get them before weekend so i can do the exhaust on weekend.. other than that i might need custom swaybar.. but thats not important now. :P

Oh and the pile of 'crap'.. parts that have been removed & replaced..

its not all but most of the stuff..

Its cool when someone comes up with a whacky idea, and instead of just talking about it, they do it. Props to you.
