Thanks. Hopefully better still to come. It's the turbo and intercooled 300TD engine but with the IP from a 606 N/A suitably uprated.

Great job so far, thanks for sharing your work!

This looks great, and you are an incredible fabricator and welder.
Very clean looking installation.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Looks like fun

Who did this?

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Chapeau! You've done impressive work, absolutely no doubt.

My intent upon retirement in two years is also to build an R107 dieselied 380SDL.

I have the car, just need the engine.

Slowly impediments are falling by the wayside.

I just liquidated an estate house for my son, now the last thing is to temporarily board an 18 year old female in my house for a while.

Once she's gone, I'll be able to do more. Plus the weather's not great right now.

I think it's more appropriately called an SLD or SL-D the SDL is a MUCH bigger car!
