I'm learning that old Mercedes demand alot of effort and time... Some how this thing keeps bringing me back...

I made the front sit a bit lower.. Tomorrow is another day though..

Remember this. "There's nothing more expensive then a cheap Mercedes" With that being said I'm on my fourth W123. I paid the most for this one out of all of them by 10x, and it returned the favor by telling me it was transmission rebuild time. It sucks in the beginning, but you'll get used to it.

Welcome to owning an old car haha

Old car ownership sucks as of right now Haha.. Just replacing parts I'm at almost double the price of purchase at this point.

Well to start It's a 1975 Mercedes 240D.... So I bought this headache about 3 weeks ago and its been just that.... A headache. Every time i touch it something else breaks!! Problem is I'm hard headed and refuse to be beat by a car so here's what I have done so far.. Basically rebuild the brakes, replace some interior parts and slowly as I find time start working on getting it closer to the ground..


I didn't take pic's when I bought it but it was on this lift within it's first day of purchase.
