124 4 matic front suspension pictures?
Anyone have a link to 124 4 matic front suspension pics? ( I think these are early 90's 300E cars ) Is this the suspension that has a stretched coil spring to clear the axle shaft? Are these cars at all common?
I'm investigating the possibility of building a 4 matic R129 SL ( 90 to 01 )

Interesting proposition, but I can tell you it will be an enormous amount of work. The floor pan and front subframe are 4-matic specific. Unless you would be comfortable cutting and grafting these major assemblies you may find the conversion quite a bit more involving than the payoff would be worth. Not trying to rain on your parade, and if you have the means and drive... go for it.

Enormous amount of work no problem,
20 years ago I converted a 80's Ford escort ( front drive ) to mid engine rear drive. ( think Ford Fiesta Shogun, Renault R5 Turbo 2. A few years later bought a then 20 year Formula Ford ( Indy car looking racer ) that hadn't won a race in 15 years, cut the entire front suspension off to cure past ills and did total apart rebuild of the car. It then won first race out. Throw in a Porsche 914 made mostly of MIG welding wire and a oval track car or two just to fill the garage. I recently got a hold of a 300SL that is going to be converted to a gutted / caged but still street legal track day car. I'm hoping to get sub 3,500 LB ( from 4,100 ) The real question is at what power level will AWD be helpful. The motor will be a M104 3.2 straight 6 with some sort of forced induction as that is the quickest way to more power. Custom cams for these motors are $$ and being they are cam over valve, profiles are geometry limited. 320 HP ( + 100 hp ) can be had with low presure turbos , someone on the performance section of this site is getting 400 ish hp. Why a 6? I can buy 100K mile 3.2 motors all day for $ 500 where the V8 is much less common and $.

You would probably enjoy this page. It doesn't list every nut bolt and washer, but the diagrams are very good. It is from the Eastern Europe EPC, it is simple and it is free and will work on Windows 95.
