To much work mate,it might be cheaper to buy a c280.If you like the car as a can see the mileage is low to,buy Koolvin`s turbo kit.

The 104 into a C180 is doable. You will need to change the following:-

ECU
Wiring loom
Radiator
Fuel Pump(s)
Uprate the rear diff if you are using the g/box from a 2.8.

You may have to find a complete donor car for all the bits.

Front springs hence is better getting another car

Very true, Ollie has a 2.8 210 for sale, too good to break though.

It can be done,but what spec do you have in your car?

It's never going to be worth the hassle.

Clean W202s start from £1-2k these days, and C36 AMGs can be had from £2-3k upwards.

You'll even find C43s from a shade upwards of £4k.

Most of what you need is here

Its not worth it financially - but its a challenge if nothing else. I reckon you would learn a lot about the car just doing the conversion.

Must be something in the water here in Essex

Agreed.

Do it for the experience/challenge certainly.

In addition to those already mentioned, possibly brakes, shocks...

But much less expense and hassle to buy a different car.

You will probably need an engineer's report to get insurance
