85 230ce coupe

[BlackC55]

The plan is to tackle the rust first........

Then if I have enough money left over..... do some modifications.

I am thinking about dupming the 230 engine and fitting somthing with 8 pots. Depends on the budget.

The front spoiler is repairable. I tell you what I do need. An interior.

I tell you what I do need. An interior.

But that stain has so much... character!

Why not ask Jay for a quote to get it done in the same colour leather as his SEC ?

Or MercMan .... just down the road from you ...

What's wrong with the interior other than needs a good clean?

 

[gurpz]

Trouble is you get stuck doing other cars and customers wanting stuff powder coating don't you Ian...

 

[BlackC55]

I would love to do all of the above suggestions but at the moment it comes down to budget and time. If I am working on my car I am not working on a customers car and paying the rent.

Anyway.....find the 55 engine

Noooo we go round to Greame's one night and nick his engine

 

[Howard]

There was a supercharged 55 engine on Ebay a while back for 5 grand ...

500 bhp in a w123 coupe would be

 

[BlackC55]

£5k. Thats not too bad.

 

[Howard]

Was second hand from a wrecker ....

Don't know if it included the loom , ecu etc etc

 

[GRAV888]

Nope

Noooo we go round to Greame's one night and nick his engine

Mine is now blocked in by the CLK, the van and a lorry

£5k. Thats not too bad.

Mine would be slightly higher than that

 

[Gollom]
