Mine would be the last production year of the T123 station wagon with the OM648 LA 6 cylinder diesel engine from the W211 E320 CDI and the 711670 six speed manual transmission. Rear wheel carrier would also come from W211 and rear air suspension. ASD diff lock would come from W124 along with the front wheel carriers. Color would be black on black with leather interior.

Something along these lines:

Wow sounds good

500NM @ 1800 rpm

How about a W126 alloy trailing arm conversion too?

What would you do with the SLS?
