Mercedes-Benz cars, mint condition and/or extreme boost
the w123 lang was finished enough, and garagespace needed, so moved 150km to storage, driven, anyhow, thought i could do that on the tires it was standing on, it was bumpy from the start, and about a 1/3 of the ride it was pure hell. luckily had a spare with me, a change and rest […]
The flexdisc of the w123 om606 8mm mynä wasnt to happy, swapped it out for another old used one to keep the car roling, hope that it will keep together for atleast a couple of runs, ought to get the larger flange+flexdisc in place somewhere in the near future, but feels “unnecesary” to build a […]

Huge bangs and clanks from the rear of the car, w123, w115, coming after driving for a couple of minutes, my guess is the grease gets warm, and the driveshaft kan move freely and thus creating the bangs that scared the shit out of me. Video of the loud bangs from the rear of the […]

Changing the front brakes of a w123 from stock to 12″ / 300cm large w126 second generation brakes.
In the beggining it was just a Gen2 c126 with broken V8 M117.965 engine. It took me some time to find a donor car 1984 300SD. As my 500SEC did not have A/C I have to migrate complete table from donor car below you can se the mess… Not all the parts can be […]
1600rpm in around 100km/h, the speedometer is way of.
Changed the springs from ultra-low oilpan scraping, squatting dog stance, to something more drivable, sadly i dont have any pictures from before they where changed, but only one third of the wheels widht was in the ground at the back, and i feared that every dent in the asfalt could destroy the oilpan while driving […]

bad picture, but thats where the oil to the turbo is taken from the filter, need a pressure regulator so i dont push to much oil to the turbo on higher rpms.
