GAZZUZZ:Bross, I still feel you missed out on the monoblocks. Nice looks though. Did you replace the catalyst or left as is? Any plans for a new exhaust? |

Today I took a trip to Clegg street ojuelegba , where I thought i could get most of the suspension parts. Sadly I was in the wrong market. I was however directed to Trinity in Apapa. The dinosaur parts can be found in excess here. https://maps.app./Mc1RFqG3VDtn761q7 Also noticed the market has support for European vehicles. 2 Likes 1 Share

I learned a lot the hard way on this project . This W201 is an American specification . Most of the front suspension parts for this vehicle are not interchangeable with German specs. I initially got front and rear callipers thinking I would just slap them on and call it a day, sadly they wouldn't fit, had to replace complete hubs with the German specs as I was unable to find the exact American spec in the market . Also had to replace all the rubber bushings in the sway bar setup. 4 Likes

For vehicles this age, you cannot just install a spanner and unscrew bolts an nuts, usually ends in premium tears ![]() Most bolt and nuts are really stiff and rusted in. I had to buy and quickly self learn how to use an oxyacetylene setup. All the years of watching panelbeaters work paid off, in a couple of mins it was touch and go. The idea is to heat up the bolts or nuts before trying to unscrew them. Worked 100per in every case. The setup I bought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLRz6PXXv4c Setting up equipment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGoYpXLAd1A Practice run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtG9_rDKa34 Putting equipment to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g21TQfChZNA Putting to use 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX4dPPMqMx4 1 Like
