Bought another Benz

Well I went and got myself another W123 and this one has spark plugs

Its a 1979 280E with 87k miles which seems to be accurate and backed up by a stack of records and even if its not correct I basically paid just over scrap price for the car.

The car has some rust in the drivers fender and behind the rear passenger door but no rot in the floors or the rockers which was a nice surprise. Someone must have replaced the drivers seat at some point since it is in perfect condition but the rest of the interior is pretty ratty.

So far all I have done to the car is install the missing door lock plunger to allow me to open one of the rear doors.

This will be my MB driver for the foreseeable future since my 240D may need some major engine work. Hopefully not but either way it should be fun. I will be updating this thread throughout the process.

The car in its new home.





Separated at birth.
