Preparing a Mercedes W123 230E for daily use. Part 1 // SOUP Classic Motoring 53

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Benz W123 back end is a simple setup, so I've pulled it completely out. This is part one of a two parter on getting the family W123 back to rude health and daily driving. When this car is finished, work resumes on the Lotus Esprit.

    Ohh, beautiful car, I'm very happy that you're putting it back on the road, where it belongs. I've had a W124 260E (2.6L straight six), it's an incredibly smooth engine with absolutely the smoothest suspension ever. Sure, it rocks like an old barge in turns at high speeds, but at slower (city driving) speeds it's like floating on a cloud. Driving over a curb doesn't feel like a bump, it feels like you just softly float up and then float down. It's literally magic, all my passengers were constantly amazed by it.

    lovely video! And very pleasant speaking voice. I had a 280E and can confirm that it's not a pleasant-sounding engine. Very thirsty to boot. And with the really antiquated steering (giant wheel, ball-and-worm), that means I don't miss it at all. To each his own!

    Well... As always ... very nice indeed sir..💪 Little story on the side... I was in Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 about ten years ago and one of those cars, a W 123 was fitted as a taxi 🚖 The driver was a small guy with wireframe Glasses and a bow tie ...and he said with a very THICK Italian accent... Quote: „best car in the world...500.000 Kilometers ...first Engine, First transmission...zero problema..“! End quote... He was polishing the car constantly with a cloth and the car looked, like it just left the assembly line...💪 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪/Europe 🇪🇺

    George, this gives me fond(ish) memories of working with my brother-in-law on his 2 W123 vehicles-a wagon and his trusty sedan, both 300 turbo diesels. We have done engine work, dropped a trans, dropped a rear subframe, and had other adventures. It is surely not time wasted as those things will reward you with an obscenely long life!

    No insult intended, but I am sure many of your subscriptions come purely from your wonderful time-lapse technique, and the serene pace and ease of viewing this creates. It is so satisfying one can tend to ignore the extremely competent script and rich narration. I know I did (initially). Subscription was inevitable.

    When it comes to cleaning smaller bits of car, I found a sand blast cabinet really useful. I had an old Guyson commercial nozzle, and a compressor, but cabinets are expensive. Then I noticed a fly tipped fridge, two timber feet screwed to the top and bottom, holes cut in the door for gloves and a window held in with gaffer tape, a vacuum cleaner for dust extract and I have a great resource for free.
