As much as I hate seeing you doing this swap, I am very glad you are putting the time in doing these rust repairs on the body.

Replaced the fuel, brake and SLS lines going to the rear, and repainted the rear subframe after removing any surface rust. Put the motor in yesterday, and plan on getting everything hooked up today. Hope to be able to start it by the weekend!

Well it runs and drives now! The 5 speed works quite well with the turbo diesel motor, as there is plenty of pickup with it. I'm glad I kept the 3.58/1 rearend in it, as it cruses nice in forth gear for around town, and fifth is fine for the highway.

Congratulations! That'll make you a nice car! The 300 will pull a 307 gear alright at least it was fine here in Indiana. With a five speed and 307 if driven at moderate speeds we got a couple of tanks at 40 mpg with our little 82 300CD with five manual.
Good luck to you!

Picked up these BBS rims today for the coupe. They are 7 1/2 X 16 RZ rims, ET23 and dated 86' and marked made in W. Germany. Will pick up some 225/50R16 tires tomorrow for them.

Swapped out the rims from the wagon to the coupe and put the gold ones on the wagon, as the gold goes better with the green paint. Both rims are the same size, as are the tires. You can really see the difference with the wheel cap swap.
