Ill soon be moving to a nice little bungalow with an adequate driveway and garage, after having spent most of my time working on my cars out in the street or in the car park outside my flats :bannana:. So I fancy a project with an older mercedes, preferably tax exempt. Im thinking a W114, W115 or W109. I wanna stretch my legs on this one and do a V8 conversion (M117 or 119 if i can get one cheap) possibly with Megasquirt or VEMS and pretty much keep the rest stock with the exception of a minor lowering and some wheels with a bit of dish, that sort of euro look but not too extreme.
Something like this, sans the lowrider wire wheels..
I was poised to buy a 1970 W114 on ebay last night but moving house and having to pay 3 months rent up front meant i couldnt justify it.
Ill be looking to buy at least a rolling chassis within the next month once i get all my moving expenses repayed by my new employer, so if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated, any condition will be considered as ill be doing all the welding etc my self.
