24-12-2014 1:50am#1Oh dear... It's happening again
It began in April with this unreal and epic machine
a car with so much character 
I've never had as much fun with a daily driver, both driving and inside.... :cool::cool::cool:
This could have been a worthy press photo back in the day....
But a thirsty brute!3

So we move onto the latest yoke: a 1995 C220 diesel. Some weapon to go
I altered the front a bit with a black grille and clear lenses. Facelift bumper lined up and that'll do me at the front
I have a few tricks up the wizards sleeve for this one.... In due time

I haven't forgotten about my other projects for all those wondering, just I've been swamped elsewhere. Just this is something I have to do while I have the time and resources...!Please keep it looking original and make it go like a rocket, must keep the steelies and hubcaps. 320'cdi engine swap ? I'll help with sourcing a running example.:D
I have a donor car bought (yesterday) along with a huge intercooler and 2 turbos to bolt onto said engine.... A K27 and the HX50
I need bigger wheels though, the steelies won't clear the brakes
the Algenibs should see to that though, not too big that it looks Cheshire and just about right looking for that era of car
I need a few bits still such as a mechanical P pump, bigger elements to fit the pump (6.5mm/7mm), a throttle cable.... Um that's really it! I'd need a clutch, new suspension all round (arms, links, joints etc), ABS module is iffy, put in my hydro and a key that locks the doors
but I can sort these at a later date, I have most of these bits anyway
So I'm on the hunt for a pump for the engine, then the fun can start, it pretty much all bolts in...!
That green C220 is my daily driver btw :cool:
Oh, said donor car...

all this time I thought it was the same c-class:o
shows how much attention im paying:pac:
cant wait to see this getting started and 3.0TTDiedd:eek:
That's the thing I was very vague with pics! The 220 and 200 were very similar colour-wise and I never took pics of the car with the reg :P I guess this time I couldn't fool anyone with a standard height green one though
Will make a start on sourcing a pump tomorrow, when some places open again! I have a few breakers I wanna try (pity my preferred breakers doesn't have a suitable car for breaking though...!) and hopefully I'll be able to source a pump I need to do a bit more reading but if I think I can modify the pump from electric to mechanical then I'll have a go at it! :cool:
My aim is to have the car sounding and going something like this:

On with bigger brakes!
Fronts
The rears were unbelieveably laughable....
Much meatier
I have the W211 5 spokers on the front and algenibs on the rear, I'll be sorting that tomorrow
Tried S600 calipers and discs I have here, wouldn't fit
I'll be getting new discs and pads as these are well worn....
Next: suspension work0 -

Is she runnin a welded diff then?
Which one....
The 220 has moved into the yard. I have a new drivetrain, gearbox and engine lined up. Just need 2 new rear shocks, 7mm pump elements and a turbo for the engine (either the K27 I have bought or a HX35)... Then in it all goes!
Going to use it's own fly, dmf can go and f*ck itself don't know what clutch to go for but I'm leaning towards a Sprinter clutch. Have dot 5.1 to put in. Still don't know where to put the hydro!
But I'll figure something out
Soon....
