Mercedes 250d (300d) euro version project 5 speed
Picked this euro 250d for $150.00 It was offered to me so i guess i took it.
 Its either me or it going to some wrecking place.. Oil pan was damaged all the oil went. W124 250D -manual crank windows -cloth seats -no a/c -no Ovp -power sunroof -power steering -5 speed manual tranny Things to replace: -Driver side headlight -oil pan -passenger tailight -carpet mats -outside temp indicator There should be more stuff later   After cleaning up all the dust on it.

Is the engine salvageable?

W/o mirror on the right side & with hubcaps, it was a truly tiny beauty. Especially in classic white.

I patched up the oil pan temporarily oil flush & change.. Checked if there was any oil pan pieces on it. It runs.... I asked the owner what did he did when it the oil pan hit a rock. He saw the oil pressure gauge lit up & shut down the engine at once.. So i guess that was a good move.. I'll take a video of it.. Car is so basic it doesn't even have an ovp on it.   Found this one cracked probably hit something before.. Replacement ready but not a priority for now..  Updated the rear seats on the car Old (mix of an mb tex bottom seat i was testing out)  Leather seats

Decided to replace the front seats to cloth instead of the black leather one. Didn't want to mess with the electricsmfor now.. Got the seats from my 93 300d 2.5 parts car (complete car but rear ended)
 New seats are more firm & better pattern. Old seats front   New and old seats

Replaced all the glow plugs & intake gasket on the car.
  Intake removed   Reaming the holes  All back to where it belongs.. Forgot to take pics of the installation of the plugs & re assembly of the intake & stuff..  There was a leak on the last injector the hose has cracked from age. Replaced it and plugged it with a screw.

Belts need replacing... A rib is already out...
   Out goes the fan  Replaced the tensioner shock too  Old pulley out  Pulley looked like this. A rag got stuck the last time & messed up the pulley. Replaced it at the same since the bearing is not that great anymore.   New pulley  New serpentine belt.. Bought a spare too since it was not readily available..   All back to where it belongs...  Car somewhere on the road...
