  1. Hey guys through I would update this thread as Ive put some work back into my RA23 lately. Been stripped right back and painted in original Toyota 352 Orange. New front chin fitted. Running 14x8 -12 all round with spacers on the back, currently having some 14x9.5 made for the rear. Dropped the coils right down and dropped the rear also. Current plans are original GT stripes and tiny and a touch more low in the rear.
  2. Been driving old Mercedes because I'm getting old and my back hurts :)
  3. Well the bastard already blew a head gasket haha. I think I will stick to Toyota from now on!
  4. Hey guys was in need of a new daily so I decided to to something stupid and buy a volvo Nissan Stagea. Had it for about a week and I've got it low(ish) and put some new shoes on. 1998 Nissan C34 S1 RS4 Stagea 4 Wheel Drive RB25 Turbo Automatic BC Coilovers 18x10 +38 Fronts with 15mm Hubcentric Spacers 18x9 +28 Rears 225/40/18 Falkens all round Leather Seats DVD stereo Overall super tidy and surprisingly comfortable to drive.
  5. Well its been ages since I've done alot with the Mercedes. I have found an entire original red interior set in next to perfect condition, I will have to get some pictures. Ordered all my gear to get the front bagged and came across a set of wheels that I thought might work instead of the standard gear. They are genuine german 16x8 +11 rials. Very rare wheels and although they came out early 70's I think the suit my finny well? Here's a photoshop of its ultimate driving height: and here's the current height: Most people like them what are you guys opinions?
  6. They should fit no problems. The front can go as wide as 7" et +6 withing poking outside the guards.
  7. There should be a 'notch' under the guard that the spring cup sits in perfectly. All my early Toyota's have it. That's the exact position for original style fender mirrors.
  8. Hey guys have my 1989 W124 300CE Mercedes Benz for sale. It has been my daily driver and then my girlfriend’s daily driver for around 3 years now. But I have recently got a new company car so this has been sitting around collecting dust and needs to go to as new home. 1989 W124 Mercedes Benz 300CE 3.0L Straight Six 4 Speed Automatic Power sunroof Heated Seats Power Seats Electric Windows Power seatbelt passers Dual Zone Climate Control Air Conditioning Black Leather Interior Powered Head rests Boot Lip Focal K2P Front Splits Alpine CDA-9835 CD player Polk Audio 4 Channel Amp for splits Tinted Windows Lowered springs all round 18 x 8 Lorinser wheels Near new tires Exterior: Outside is pretty tidy, a couple of very minor scratches and dents but original paint comes up very nice in the summer. It’s been lowered 2 inches all round and the new wheels sit quite flush with the guards that have been rolled to prevent scraping. Overall it’s a very nice looking car. Interior: Interior is quite good all round, there are some wear on the front seats (since they are heated), rear seats are great and it has a dash mat installed. Carpet is good and the seats are very comfortable for long trips. Mechanical: Mechanically its great, the previous owner was a trained Mercedes mechanic and had the engine overhauled at 190,000km. It’s now travel just over 250,000 and I expect it to go on forever considering it’s a bulletproof M103 engine. I have just done a service with fuel filter, new plugs, leads, air filter, distributor cap and rotor button so it’s good to go. It’s quite good on fuel also so it makes a great daily driver. Overall a great daily driver for someone that wants something reliable and just a little bit different. It’s always been a comfortable car to drive and it will be a shame to see it go.

  9. Price drop to $3000. Has to go as shes just collecting dust.
  10. Hey guys have my 1960 W111 Mercedes 220s up for sale. I purchased this not too long ago and had planned to fix it mechanically and use it as a weekend car while I completed a restoration on my other W111 Mercedes. However due to owning my own house I really can’t afford to have excess cars around. 1960 W111 220S 4 Speed column manual 2.2L Straight six with Twin carbs Couches for seats (very comfortable) New vinyl roof New food lining New tail shaft centre bearing New 13” whitewalls New shift linkage New exhaust Exterior: Outside is fairly tidy, it was painted quite some time ago and is starting to show some age, there are areas of bog that are a little rough, doesn’t appear to be much rust in any horrible areas, none around windows. Bumpers are average. It has a brand new black vinyl roof. Body sure isn’t perfect but it looks great driving around and wouldn’t be a bad example to paint if that’s what you wanted to do. Interior: Interior has had a re-trim at some stage with red velour seats; they were re-padded and are very comfortable, much softer than original. Dash had been trimmed a while back and has aged a little. Overall the interior is very tidy and requires very little if any work. Mechanical: I’ve done a bit of mechanical work to her in an attempt to get her driving nice. I’ve changed the carbies as the originals have some accelerator pump issues. The new ones are in excellent shape but do require a tune to get it running a little smoother. Blows smoke on start up as most of these do. Engine itself is very strong and has almost no oil leaks and doesn’t burn almost any oil at all. I have also changed the clutch as the original as no good. The driveshaft has a new centre bearing but still required a balance as there is a slight vibration over approx 80km/h. Overall it really just need a tune and a balance and it would drive very well. These cars were light years ahead of other manufactures of the same year. Overall a great car to jump in and drive around on weekends. Asking $4000 ono Contact Troy on 0431 290 861 via call or text.
