Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
To save an incredible amount of time, I suggest taking it apart with tons of pictures and then taking those parts to a powder coater. Cleaning them will take a lot of time. Powder coating is not that expensive. I would make sure the powder coater is used to car parts, machined surfaces, et cet. There's a specific chassis black as well unless you just want glossy. For me, my time is the most important resource I have. I have invested and wasted hours and hours trying to clean stuff up. I learned a while ago, if you can, find a good powder coater in your area who caters to the car nuts out there. Saving 3 or 4 hours for $100 or so dollars for a virtually new looking sub-frame is worth every penny to me. The sub-frame probably has little rust because of all the grease and grime. Also, I learned a while ago, having everything near surgically clean is the first starting point. Having a ton of gunk in your way vs. like new is like day and night. I am sure there are kits out there for all that new rubber. If all that new rubber just bolts on, then having all newly powder coated surfaces is the way to go IMO. Make sure the shop knows to plug up all orifices and tape off all machined surfaces, et cet. I have not really tinkered with my cars for a while except here and there, but I am getting back to things here shortly. I will start working on my AMG wanna-be thread. If it was me, I would NOT buy different springs. If you want to lower it, just cut a 1/2 max if you have the thicker rubber shims. You can make up the different. I do not know how interchangable W123 parts are with the older MBs such as yours. Plus, I am positive all those mods have been done before. Just finding them is the trick.
