Yes I am a Very proud new owner of a well Mechanically maintained 92 300 Turbo Diesel 2.5L with a Mercedes booklet full of service history.

I already put 800 miles on this beast and it's a blast. (to me that is)

- I just changed the oil+filter.
- Vacuum system seems to be working good
- Bonus 4 $60 I got AC recharged, only needed a rubber O ring(Ice Cold now)

recommended blow off valves or anything of that nature?
Car sounds great but I never hear the turbo at all.
The car does move if you really want it to, so i think turbo is fine.




I know it's slow and I don't want to be crucified by any members.
Before I pour any kind of money into it. I want to know what I can do to change the looks of it.
(I am not going to gut or ruin this car in anyway, I just want to see the options)

(i finally found this thread so I will be looking at the photo section when I get a chance)




So what Euro 1 Piece Flat Headlights will fit on my vehicle & AMG bumpers/190 Evo 2 Bumper? (or 300 AMG parts that look similar)
I am trying to perhaps one day, turn it into a diesel high boosted car.

1. Seeing what my visual upgrade options is priority number 1 for me first.
2. Then I will make sure the car is perfectly healthy or rebuilt before I do anything.
3. Will be daily driven project car (I've had many, also have another 1-2 cars to use)
4. Then I will do some mods slowly before diving in.





I've been looking for this car for over 5 years and never were there any decent affordable ones.
I know all about dieselmeken youtube. I've followed him for years.
I've seen his monsters destroying automatic gears and all that craziness.

I do know the weak points of the car.
Vacuum Pump needs to be checked periodically.
Head gasket (looks like it was already done)
No oil burn or barely any smoke on rear ever at all.
No Leaks

Lastly I know all about that 300D is a bigger/wider version. So I know it shares parts but not exactly.

If anyone has any links to someone's thread who has converted their car to this look.
I'd very much appreciate that as well. (Doesn't have to have the full body kit)

 

No one has photos or anything cool to show me?

 

Well, virtually nothing from a W201 190 Evo2 bodywise fits on a W124. There are AMG bumper covers , etc but they are VERY expensive and hard to find used.

Your are prolly looking for Euro-spec headlites. Do a google search for early W124 European headlites....but don't buy DEPO or ERO ! Try to get OE , Hella or Bosch.

Great car...that should go 500K miles at least !

 

Thanks finally a response.

I know about the Euro Amber turn signals (have them on the way, and headlights ill do that later)
Thanks for tip about the headlights.

but how are so many places making
W124 Evo 2 kits?
I am not saying I'd buy this, but if I did piece by piece and I made it look right, I may consider it.

I also have a slight excuse to do it. My quarter panel fenders are rotted and only had quick removal and bondo job/paint for now just to remove infection.

I have better pictures but they are on my phone at the moment.

In process of changing speakers and head unit. (Yes I have the Metra adapter)
