Uhh..yea.

Got it for a steal, practically got the engine (617.952) and gearbox (711.113, the van box with 0.8:1 5th) with a parts car for free. Very rare, especially in a country that drives on the left.

It has a 3" exhaust, and has W126 front brakes. Has 5 tyres with really good tread too.

Going to get the engine and gearbox swapped into the '78, and then strip the wagon for parts / sell (body is rather rough).

Anyone know how to hook up the power steering up to the SLS pump? Thinking of a bypass valve of sorts so I don't blow the seals in the steering box.
