I just picked up a 1985 190d with 4 cylinder and 230000 miles. Engine good but trans is busted and in the trunk. Its body is pretty typical for a 190. Broken switches and all. But seats comfy , not rusty underneath and it could make a good beater. gold colored. I wish I had pics.

I paid 300.00 for it and am wondering what to do with this cool 4 cylinder. Tranny is out and its just ready to go. I'm thinking I need a 5 speed tranny to go with it. But I don't really want to drive a 190d that much seeing as I have my 87 wagon.

I'd really like to get a 5 speed and put this engine and 5 speed in my 87 td wagon. Is that doable? Better yet Anyone have a wagon with a blown motor? I bet I could get a newer gasser wagon and convert as I have the diesel stuff on my parts wagon. That the ticket maybe. Anyone want to buy a 87 Tdt

Also I would pass this on to a member if it's what someone needs for their project. I cant do anything with it for at least 6 months

Also I thought maybe mounting a generator head to it.

Man I really like the idea of a 4 cylinder 5 speed w124 wagon. What would you do with it?
