Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - It's alive for the very first time! - Diesel-Wiking - 12-27-2010

This autumn and winter I'm restoring an old wreck, the car would go to an scrapyard, but I bought it just before he sent it to the scrapyard. It had much rust which I've been working with. Now, after about 500 hours it looks hopefully a bit better than before:
Before, when I drove it to the paintshop:

After:

I've almost mounted the whole car completely together, just some small things left.
-further plans are:
-slam it to the ground
-mount my 8 and 9x16" wheels with new 215/40/17
-adjust the IP and 1,4 bar
-stereo
-yellow light bulbs
+ some other details as you'ill see.

I've also some other cars, a 250td '94 silver, and a silver '95 E300D-24v in very good shape, and a '83 BMW e23 745iA, two other w123T 300tdt in pretty good shape(81/84) and an old '69 racecar E9 3.0 cs. The old CS will get a new engine, either om603 with 7-8mm or m51d25 with bigger elements. I have to finish the w123 and the 745 before I begin this huge project..

Hope you'ill like it guys Wink

Very nice, great work. Those fenders are a bitch aren't they?

Thanks, yes, I had to buy som ver long bolts and space the rear fender out about 7cm I think.

@Mikw: Hehe, the tires are 215/40/16 Wink

Car is looking a lot better after the paint..

thanks, yes it was in a VERY bad condition. I like the feeling when you are saving a car from the scrapyard.

The latest update:
-I have bought and installed new clutchpumps and new line between them. Got some clutch now, but I have to get out all the airbubbles in the system Smile

I've also installed a boost controller inside the car, and shortshift. A bit quicker and shorter gearchange is allright.
-the brakes are working very well after I changed som lines

I'm studying in the south now, so the car is 6 hours from here, but it isn't that much left to do, so I will update you with pics and info when something more happens guys.

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - ID240D - 01-26-2011

You have put alot of work into that car and it looks great! What kind of wheel do you plan on putting those tires on?

Justin

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - Diesel-Wiking - 01-26-2011

Thank you very much. Centras 8" i front and 9x16" rear. I have some problems with the clutch, I hope I can fix it when I go back home the next weekend.

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - Diesel-Wiking - 02-20-2011

215/40/16, tomorrom I'll get my rear wheels too

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - BRABUS - 02-21-2011

Looks sweet Smile

What size are the rims? width?

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - winmutt - 02-21-2011

Never care for the rubber band tires on the 123 myself. The fender arch is so round that they look weird in there... How did you lower it?

The car is alive guys! For the first time I've driven it a few meters, the clutch works well and I hope I can be ready for the summer season Big Grin

What are you engine plans? Upgrades?

Looks like you guys have as much snow as we got here. Great job on getting the back on the road and looking good!

Where did you get the airride??

We have probably 110cm with snow here.

I will adjust the IP and 1,4 bar turbopressure, and I have removed the rear exhaust to get better sound, which I'm very satisfied with now, exactly perfect! I have two old BMWs that need som care too, therefore I don't want to use much more on this car, it has been unfortunatly very expensive.

I'm pretty satisfied with it as it is, a low cruiser is my goal for this one Angel

any videos?... :p

I should have upgraded here now Angel

I've been working with the car this weekend. I mounted open air filter, turbopressure gauge, the fog lights needed to be repaired with new electric cabels, and I gave it new oil and adjusted the injection pump and turbopressure. I've also testdriven it, it works well so far Big Grin

I will make som videos when the snow melts on the roads..

I have some few things left to do. For exampel paint the centre of the wheels in gold color, and mount window wipers and some other small details. Some new pics and hopefully video will come when the weather looks a bit better and the snow melts..

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - It's alive for the very first time! - Diesel-Wiking - 04-02-2011

first long trip to a cruisin' meet, I found these pics on facebook, worked the car worked very well, strong, but can't drive so fast because of the gear ratio(3.46 with 4-speed) Big Grin

I've bought stereo to the car and I'm going to install it as soon as possible...

thanks for such an positiv reply Smile

I'm not 100% shure, but It seems to transform into an superturbodiesel-set up in the end of the next year, my goal is to have it race ready for the 2013 season.

I have a monsterous turbo from an boat which I hope can be mounted, but I'm not shure if it fits...

wow why did i not see this thread untill now? you sir have a beautiful car.

what wheels are they if you dont mind me asking?

and how does the air ride handle? if i wanted to race my car would you recommend it or should i just find stiffer springs that are lower?

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - It's alive for the very first time! - winmutt - 09-20-2011

Doesnt seem to keep traction well for lack of smoke/sound? What tires are you running?

Thanks

I recommend stiffer springs, HR for example and some good schock absorbers which matches the shorter springs.

I really don't know what these wheels are called, maybe somebody could answer that question for both of us Tongue

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - It's alive for the very first time! - iheartboost - 09-24-2011

cool. ill have to think about it. cuz i really want it low. but i dont want to loose all the handling of it as well. ill have to figure something out.

Yes, If you want it low, you have to chop the springs, otherwise you have to mount air ride.

RE: Wikings 300td with 4-speed/om617a - It's alive for the very first time! - iheartboost - 09-24-2011

Yea thats what I have gathered. There really arent coil overs for it. and if I want em its a ton of fabrication.
