The Merc Swagon! W124

[chompsticks]

So, I sold the the white benz bought another W124/S124
This one will be a true grocery-getter and getting bags! Got some stock E500 wheels to put on it soon.

Goodbye lovely


Hello Sexy


Makes for a pretty decent winter car even with just allseasons...


Picked this bitch up to putt around in as I swagon up the Benz! Of course it needs new tires and a tranny.

funny how the cars that are meant to be "dailys" get worked on more often then the project car at times

Oh man you went from the best diesel 6 cylinder they made (om606), to the best gas 6 cylinder made (M104-24valve). In signal rot too... Ughh jealous.

No kidding, well I did just pick up the crx for $800 and a tranny for $200 and new tires for $150. not much rust either!

The diesel gave me enough cash to spare.

I was sad to let the diesel go, but I will say... The wagon is 10 times more fun to drive!
Wagon will get a repaint soon.

I love wagons can't wait to see where this goes

I almost bought a fading signal rot wagon instead of mine but the interior was shot. If the wagon is fun to drive compared to the diesel w124, it must have been the slowest car on the road. Excited to see where this goes.

The paint was good, but this winter took a toll on the clear coat. started to bubble and flake right off in spots. Yea a 95 e300 na diesel... 134hp 0-60 in 12.6 seconds... leaving you in a cloud of black smoke!

Finally got around to adding the parts that I switched out from the old benz. Cracked the front bumper snow drifting into a huge pile of snow....

The old diesel was so cool! But W124 wagons are awesome, especially in red. Looking forward to seeing progress!

Changed to stock 16s
Got new tires, a spring compressor, a hack saw, and some beer for later!

[chompsticks]

Haven't been on here in a while! But some updates
Finally lowered some. Going to try and make the SLS work to lower the car so it is still high, but first the car is going to the shop for a tranny rebuild.



Picked up this for parts. Swapping the interior and side panels and bumper to start prepping mine for paint.


So far I've removed all the rear seats and the wheels



Anyone with a w124 wagon and needs some parts let me know and I'll see what I have

Almost finished the interior swap. When from the mushroom crap to black! Still waiting on B and C pillars and glove box. Also need to dye the headliner. Any suggestions on how to do it?


Ass shot!


Got some monoblocks that need to be refinished maybe by the end of the year.
