Hey everyone. I have been reading around the forums and you guys seem really helpful. i have a 1982 300D that i have gotten from my dad. The body itself is in great condition but i know the engine needs some tlc.

I found a couple engine maintenance kits from dieselgiant.com but have not purchased them, i have been doing alot of research online about this car and i have a few questions.

Is it worth the trouble to make it turboed? i read that the drive train on the 300D and 300D-T are completely different.

Also, do you guys know any place to get some lips for the W123 body style. i have been searching and i just cant seem to find any. no im not trying to rice it out with a body kit, but a nice subtle lip kit would look good i think

thanks in advance!

Its already turbo.

this is the Euro edition imported from Germany, im pretty sure its not turboed

Thats important information to include, for future reference.

And, no, you can't "turbo" it. Mercedes made extensive changes to this engine when it did it.

okay your Dad gave it to you now, this is a benz dont try to make it faster jus keep it running and dont baby it new glow plugs maybe a fuel filter change the oil maybe anti freeze and enjoy it I don't know how many miles i have on mines milege clock broke i drive it on weekends 40miles one way for 2days straight driv it around town also
