i have a couple 300's. a wagon which im restoring and a 300d turbo. im a mechanic in the pan handle and work alot with the old diesels for fun.

welcome!

it is amazing the wealth of information contained on these here fora....

I have gone back to driving my w123 regularly and maintaining these fine machines is truly a joy.

Welcome to t Forum, Good you are playing our yard now in stead of looking over the fence. LOL

I lurked for a while mesmerized by the wealth of info here, then one day I had to
open by big yap and signed up.:rolleyes:

Then went from one MB to 5. :eek: And looking for more. :wallbash:

Charlie has probably done more with the 123 chassis Mercedes than anybody here. If he tells you anything about them you can take it to the bank!

Welcome to the new guy!

Thanks! ill keep note of that! all mine have been w123, only other model was my w126 81 300sd i just sold.

I'll add my welcome as

Welcome! Another MB mechanic is great!

Post up some pics of your fleet...both current and past. There won't be a lack of comments from this group when it comes to old diesels.

Thanks Tom. Iam sill learning, I know enough to be dangerous. :D

See, that's the one thing I have up on Charlie. I don't need to know anything to be dangerous!

Welcome to the forum, PageRacing!

Here's a few pics of my old 300sd and of my first 300d turbo

The blue was an absolute beater. Back half of the car had all the paint literally burnt off and for a turbo car was slower than a 240d on diesel, ran like a raped ape on oil though!

The 300sd was a cream puff. Way to nice for me to own.

The cream 81 300d na is hopefully on it's way home in exchange for another 79 wagon and a 83 300d turbo. Which will be the newest projects saved from the woods



Aaaand i can't post pictures from a phone. I'll add them in the am

I think the issue is that you need to have passed a certain post minimum to post pictures.

I managed to post pics earlier! It just kept on saying upload failed. Trying to do it on an iPhone

I think pictures are to big a file on my phone

I had that issue last time I wanted to post some stuff too. I figured the problem was on my end.

Welcome to the Forum!!! Did you say you are restoring a wagon? I have a bunch of interior wagon parts. I will shoot you a PM. I would encourage you to start a separate thread for each car.......and use just that thread for all questions. Here's a sample of what I'm talking about:

Good Luck in your endeavors!
