Hi everyone, I am in the process of stripping down and rebuilding the engine on my 1983 Euro W123 200. The car is fitted with the M102.920 2.0 Carburetor engine. When I bought the car, it had no engine, I have since sourced one and I am slowly stripping it down and rebuilding it ready to...

Im still looking for some pics of the Coolant Hose connections at the bulkhead and Inlet Manifold if anyone has them! Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks Matt

Thanks for those, they certainly give me the information i need for what happens at the front. I could also really do with a view down the back of the engine looking at the bulkhead area from both sides. Many Thanks Matt

Hi everyone, I am currently restoring a 1983 Mercedes W123 200 saloon. When I purchased the car, it came without an engine. I have since purchased an engine but it had already been removed from the car too! I am in need of some under bonnet photos of the engine showing the coolant pipe/hose...

Hi There, I am currently working on my 1983 W123 200. When I purchased the car, there was no Engine and Gearbox. The car was originally a 2ltr M102 with 4 speed manual gearbox. I am having real trouble locating an M102 2.0 Carb engine :-( I have seen a complete Engine and 4 speed manual...

Hi There, I have a 1982 W123 4dr saloon. The NSR Seatbelt has a rip in it and needs to be replaced. Will the seatbelt from a coupe fit? I can get a good S/H belt from a coupe for a good price Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks Matt

Hi There, I have a 1982 Mercedes W123 200 that I am currently in the process of restoring. It was purchased with no engine or gearbox. I am looking for engines and transmissions and the M102 from the W123 is pretty slim on the ground. There are however a lot more W201 190E 2.0 engines...

Here are the pics I have. I hope they make some sense!! The first pic, shows the metal edge that is exposed when the door aperture Seal/weather strip has been removed. In the gap you can see the 3 clips holding the trim panel on. The photo below shows one of the 3 clips. To remove...

Well They are off!! Just needed a clear head and a second look at it! :-) Once the weather strip is removed, there are 3 clips in between the metal work. These need to be pushed up and in. (Obvious when you see them!). Once these 3 clips are out the panel just pulls forward and off the rear...

Thanks Marku, The rear seat and everything is all out as are the door seals strips etc. So it should be a case of pulling it forward now. Ill see how it goes! Thanks again Matt

Hi There, I am currently stripping out the interior of my 1982 W123 4 door and cant seem to get the C Pillar trim off! I don't want to just yank it off in case I break something. Any Ideas?! Any help greatly appreciated!! Cheers Matt

I saw that one yes, a Grey coupe I think, Ive also checked out the guys build thread and it gives quite a lot of useful info. I know Its going to be a bit of work but im looking forward to getting stuck in! :-) Cheers Matt

Thanks everyone for your help. My original plan was to fit a V8 as the car is a project car and I know its going to be some work, but then thought what about other engine that were originally avaible in the W123. It appears that either the 2.3 or the 2.8 are still going to be quite involved, so...

Thanks again Nick, Ironically a V8 is a strong possibility too!! I know that will be a lot of work and was thinking if there was something a little simpler to fit but more powerful than the original engine. Cheers Matt

Hi Nick, Thanks for the reply, Is it much work to put the M110 Injection engine in if the original was a carb ening? Also will the rear axle from the 2.0 be ok with the 2.8. As for the diesel option, This would be a weekend car so Fuel economy isnt an issue and I want something that will have a...

Good evening everyone, This is my first post as I have just bought my first Mercedes! :D I have got a 1982 W123 200 Petrol model as a project, It doesnt have an engine or gearbox but is otherwise complete and very solid. I was looking at putting the 6 cylinder engine out of the 280 model in...
