December 21, 201114 yr comment_572833 Hey guys got bored with my W124 300CE (Newish cars just aint me) so I've picked up another W114 Mercedes to use as a daily! 1974 W114 Mercedes Benz 280E - M110 2.8L Injected Straight 6 (185HP or 137KW) - 4 Speed Automatic - Air Con - White Walls - Curb Feelers - Reset springs approx 3-4" lower all round - Adjustable Koni Reds in rear, Munroe GT Gas in fornt. Overall a pretty tidy car. Its been sprayed about 10 years ago and shows a few signs of rust but nothing major at this stage. It drive absolutely beautiful (despite being quite low) and is Mechanically A1, hence why i brought it as a daily. Plans are to keep it tidy (needs some TLC interior wise) and add a couple of minor bits and pieces. I've already done quite a bit to it. Report

January 7, 201214 yr comment_576058 Start saving, the initial payment may not be as much as expected. Having the skill to make it look good can cost nothing. Then add in photography skills. Then add the 'X' factor (prices and talent may vary). Report

January 11, 201214 yr Author comment_576882 Quick update guys, I've been busy fixing a few things mechanically. Biggest drama I had was an annoying weak spark issue that turned out to be the incorrect coil. Changes: -Stripped paint off hubcaps -Double Bumpers -Awesome static strap -Bead seat cover -New parcel shelf How do you find these to run? I want one but is it to much cost wise for some one young? Any help appreciated! I brought this one because it Drives and Runs (with some recent improvements) amazing. They are cheapish to purchase but get a good one mechanically as parts can be costly, but looked after they will run forever. i just bort one the same year but a 280. white with the oldschool big steering wheel. Overrated cond. I WANT YOUR WHEELS HAHA did you get yor standard springs reset? and you wouldnt have part nimbers for the shocks by chance?? cheers zane Standard springs are reset so they retain standard rate and drives well.
