man you did wonders on that engine bay, Dont be discouraged by the nay sayers. These older mercs are by far some of the easiest cars to get setup on air bags. if you dont want anything fancy and digital it will be less than $2k for everything. I did most of my install myself & im disabled..... With the exception of welding my brackets but even that was very simple and straight forward. I have a few friends that are on bags with older mercs. one was featured on here the dolphin grey W108. (D&W is his Username on here if you want to look up his build) . In for this one cant wait to see where it goes, the wheel idea is very promising IMHO!

Thx but the engine bay was just a light clean, there's more to do if I want to take it that far.

I think I'll start messing with the springs, spring pads and shocks and see how she lands.

I have seen D&W car on this site and in a parking lot in Carlsbad a time or two, it very nice, love the look !

Oh man, I love this. I was soooo close to getting a '76 300D in that exact same color a while back, but the dude sold it out from under me

I adore these cars, and I love the time and attention you're giving to this one!

Man, the more I see of these Mercs the more I want a good one.

I had a '77 450SEL but had to choose between it and my volvo 142.

Yea these old Benz are way cool, and built to last.
