W201 v.2.0

[Exami]

Hello hello, chassis modifications is almost done..
Cardan center support had to be moved... so..







Also got some brake calipers.. not sure if im going to use these or the ATE Version of the big 4pot calipers..


These are from W124 500E... Oem Brembos..

If everything goes according to plans chassis will get some paint on it in couple weeks.. after that new parts after new parts..

Ok here is some progress on the front clip..


Couple weld shots, not a perfect Tigwelds yet but i think they will stick..


More of test fittings.

[Exami]

Solids are good, just make sure the IC pipes and exhaust got some flexjoints.

2.5" Pegasus clamps just cleared from customs and AN20 connectors ordered for radiator.. should be cool.

Also started designing bottom mount for IC and radiator..

Could the radiator come 1/2" or so more forward?

it might, but in order todo that, intercooler needs some modifications as that would need to come up and forward as well.. now its about 0.5cm or something like that how much i need more room to fit them in there.. going to change engine mounts + gearbox mounts to solid ones so i dont need to worry about clearances while its runing.

Some of you might check this thread if there has been any updates. This is YOUR lucky day.. nooo just kidding nothing that special.

Ive been lazy, i've had some work with the other benz in order to pass yearly "TÜV" checkup. Also my other daily driver E46 330xd needs some work and soooo on..

Anyway here it goes.

Started with some choppin..

Bumber, radiator, intercooler test fitting..


Then fan fitted as well..


Its going to be tight fit if even possible. i might need to order new narrower fan or maybe 2 small ones.


And to endup the update with picture where it seems it almost looks like a car again :P

Is it driveable on 14.6. in hyvinkää?

Engine in, gearbox in, exhaust doesn't fit, needs a driveshaft. Will work.

[Exami]

Hope you like this. It won't fit. There will be a hole on the hood then.

New bigger griffin on MB's own mounts.. fits like factory one!, no worries those factory mounts wont stay for long.. i bought the new front piece that will hold both intercooler + radiator..

and here it is..

Some rust proof pipes and flat bar metals

Cool cool. See you 14.6 at the Hyvinkää airfield with it?

Im trying my very best to get this thing ready for driving on next driving season.. so summer 2015.. will see tho. alot of the chassis modifications is already done. so is mostly mechanical stuff.. but that shit cost like hell..

Holy crap, this car is awesome. With the wavy roof a couple pages back, was that just from to much heat from the welding or did something else cause it to warp?

It was the welding...
