My latest daily I picked this car up about 3 months ago. Its a 1982 Mercedes Benz 300CDT with 261k on the clock now. This car has given me my fair share of headaches but its a great daily and for $1200 its been pretty awesome. The previous owner replaced a ton of parts including the turbo.
So far Ive replace:
Enough of the boring shit onto the awesome cell pics - day one when I picked her up from my buddy Danny's shop... Some old dude traded it in..
Gave it a much needed wash, wax and buff...
Then in the dead of DC winter it decided to start being a dick.. I couldn't get it to turn over for the life of me so had it towed to a local shop... Hence how I discovered all 5 glow plugs were toasted..
Since then I replaced the other bits mentioned above, and since it was all buttoned up and stage 0 was complete and winter is pretty much over up here I went back to my buddy's shop and dropped the old turd..
Then this past weekend I went back to my parents as I have no garage at my cracker jack box apartment and proceeded to cut out the rear fender and hammer and flare the front fenders to accommodate the 17x8.5 et -2 and 17x10 et 0 Borbet A wheels. Adapters are 15/20mm from adaptec..
And lastly a teaser of the summer set up once they fix all the pot holes and my wheel locks come in...
C&C welcome as always...
