No announcement yet.

I've secretly always wanted a wagon, so I bought a 1981 300TD W123

      That thing looks mint! Only thing is that for some reason those wheels don't seem to fit in the looks... Maybe it's because your running such a small profile tires without being actually that "low" if you know what i mean? At that height i would prefer a bit meatier look but thts just my opinion regardless I like the overall look! Followed you on hipstergram

          The rear speakers were cake, took 8 mins tops each side including solder time.

          Let me know what you'd like to know and I'll try my best to describe it.

          I just stumbled onto these on craigslist one day and texted the guy... He ended up saying a price I couldn't resist, so they'll work for now till I plan my next wheel attack. I don't know where I sit with these wheels because after all they are not direct reps of RS's they're more of a RS/RC090 hybrid, yet they're produced by a legit wheel manufacturer(koenig). I have no doubts about the structure of the wheels and I've only owned BBS, ATS, Barrock, and Mercedes wheels before.

          I get what you're saying, I orginally wanted staggered 16's, but I think once she's bagged the 17's will look perfect tucking in the wells while parked.

                  Thanks for the info on the speakers. I think im gonna run new wire too.

                  I think your ride would look sick with the MB round euro headlights.

                        Can't say I know, I'm not really in Oregon very often... Too many veggie oil freaks down there.

                                This thing looks beautiful, me and my father have nice 190 reasonably dropped on a set of fake bbs' plans for something real when funds allow, but just bought myself a really nice white w124 wagon and your car is great inspiration
