Any 94-95 124 sedan or wagon will bolt right on. So they should be pretty available at local junk yards. The wiper nozzles need to swapped around a little. I am transferring my old "good" Diesel hood pad for its better sound deadening characteristics. An Avante grill will really set it off.

not a fan of that grille to be honest. all we get in the yards here are 126's and Early 124's very seldom a wagon.

That is a very smooth idling engine, and quite visually pleasing to boot.
Must be a nice camera too. Nice detail.....

Thanks! I only recorded it because I did pick up a camera, It's one of those Flip Cameras. I wanted to see how it'd do in noisy situations and adverse conditions. this was 1/6 movies that I've made with it. I'm quite happy, Mechanically It's sound now and I'd drive it anywhere, now it's down to this short. manageable list

  • Install Front seats, Finally found some
  • Install Dashboard
  • Replace carpeting to correct color
  • Rear hatch trim
  • rear hatch shocks and boots
  • replace Right rear lens....AGAIN...
  • Find 3rd row seats in parchment also rear carpeting in said color
  • replace upper Valance and A pillar covers Visors etc
  • Actually have the AC installed
  • Install Rear windshield Wiper
  • Locate Rear hatch Panel carpet cover
  • Throw a wild party when all other things have been completed
Oh, and rear brakes. That was on my list of things to do this weekend but I got lazy.

you know, for a engine with 303,670 miles I'm surprised. There's no train effect when you open the oil cap, it doesn't dance at all, it's the opposite, it is sucked down slightly. I am very pleased with this car, Still have to figure out why my washer motors do not work... signal is not getting to them. Put a new bottle on after this movie was taken and push the stick and nothin

This is the first brown 87 TD I have ever seen. I actually like the look of those 94/95 lights over the depos. Those curves are sexy. My wifes 91 has the depos...

Frankstallone has one almost identical to mine, though his wagon iirc has the Palamino Interior whereas mine is being switched to parchment, I'd love the matching hood to go with the lights and the lower Flashing under the headlights. but alas, time will tell
