Million Miler 180D

Interesting restored million miler 57 180D in Hemmings. Sorry that's acually 1000000KM. Still pretty neat.

My old 300D did just over a million km before it became an embarrassment to keep going.
Its not much of a parts car now, everything is worn out !!

I should hit a million km on the 300D within a year. Then I can start looking for the million mile mark.

That is a milestone to be proud of. Be sure to take a pic when it happens.

That car rocks. I came close to buying a 190D but did not have the welding skills for the rust the car required. I love that chassis. If I win the lotto that'll be mine.

Could be original. I've got a 66 VW Bug with an underside that's even cleaner than that. Still has the original body chalk markings from the factory in the fender wells as if they were put there yesterday
