C124 Diesel

[Coyne]

Hello all,

First post here after lurking for a little while.


Does anyone know of this diesel-swapped coupe that's on ebay at the moment?

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace



I'm hoping someone might be familiar with the car or have some input into whether it seems like a well-done swap. I'm tempted by it as a daily driver!


Cheers

the 24v engine would be a nicer conversion

Lizzy on the other side has an SL that has been converted to diesel and loves it, no reason this should be different.
I note it has a 1:3.07 diff, so should be geared OK.

Thanks for the replies.

I do like it, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough. And as a new member, I've no idea where "the other side" is, or who Rob Parker is!

Rob Parker had a converted CE like the one above, he resides here
