most definitely, unfortunately, right now it's requiring that it gets revved at start to push some extra fuel into it, in part two I install some new fuel pumps in a fuel filter, but I think the next thing I have to do which is giving me the hard starts is change out my OVP relay, that'll be in vid number 3!
yeah, it's definitely got its quirks, I made a full second video. I'm actually working on a third one already, but I think I've just about got everything narrowed down, I think I have to change out my OVP relay next and it should be all set!!
funny enough, I actually have a cassette to aux in my black truck! Sadly, the radio doesn't work. I wish it did, I'll have to update it soon so I can have some music in the car. hahah
I was feeling super on the fence about the car first, I wasn't sure if it was my style, but I think I'm coming around to it! Once I work out a few small kinks I think it'll be a perfect car! Super cool that you got one as well though!!
@@JapaneseMinitruck I've seen em do it at 130k. I owned a towing business large repair shop. purchased many for $500. The thing is it has a bullet proof tractor engine. No joke the Germans can't make transmissions. Chrysler is bad too. A Toyota will go 300 k without service, BMW, Jaguar is ok Ford engines and transmissions. You ever change clutch in your hard body? I did. Make sure you separate parts bolts because a lot of them. I got some bolts mixed up it's not a easy one my Miata 2 hrs Nissan? Two weeks. think I have same truck 95 .. 5-speed purple ac, power mirrors roll up windows. Xe I believe I repainted it white sanded decals off.
@user-bu8bc6kg4f oh that's awesome! My black hardbody is a 97 and then my purple hardbody is a 91, I repainted the purple truck, but the black truck is just spray paint black right now as it's kind of midway through a project, the Mercedes has a couple funky issues right now it takes a few seconds to start and then has a hard idel, I found the coil pack is arching so hopefully that'll fix one of my issues on the car!
Take care of this gem. It is a great car if you get rid of the rust.
definitely! Thankfully, right now the rust is very minimal!
@@JapaneseMinitruck Yup ! But it'll get worst quickly so get busy as soon as you can before it expands.
You’re going to love this car.
i think so too!!
I had 4 of them,two were diesels,2 were manuals and one was sw.I still miss them
I am amazed how many different models there are with these, I do wish this was a standard!
Bulletproof engine and gearbox, the only advice I will given you , warm the engine to normal temperature and then rev your engine

Had one few months ago.
Easy to work on and great cars!! All you need is a multimeter to troubleshoot!

@@JapaneseMinitruck yep, the air flow potentiometer ended up being my main issue. $20 off Amazon.
@jcritter9295 damn, that's awesome!!
The hood can go in service position allmost 90d and the sunroof can tilt as well
the car looks great
I actually just learned about this the other day and I thought it was super cool how high the hood can open up!!
I also learned about the sunroof tilting up after, and it makes it look really sporty!!
Use premium non ethanol gas on it,because the ethanol destroy the fuel system!🙂
i've been using premium😎😎
great video bro. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 !
thank you man!!🙏🏻🤙🏼
Nice project! You can get a tape to aux adapter. Back in the day we used to use those with a portable cd player to listen to cd's in old cars.
funny enough, I actually have a cassette to aux in my black truck! Sadly, the radio doesn't work. I wish it did, I'll have to update it soon so I can have some music in the car. hahah
Looks like this will be a pretty fun project!
thanks man! I'm excited to see what the future of it is!
She is a perfect oldtimer base,dont rice it!🙂
no rice, but definitely going to ruin it hahahaha
You must find a Bosh mechanic for the old injection system rebuild,because these are more complicated than nowdays system!🙂
good to know!
Love the W124❤
i'm looking forward to the future of this car!!
Wild. Was thinking about second car to my hardbody... decided on this one. Not a week later and here this video is. Guess we got the same taste lmao 😂

1990's-cars are the best!
agreed! I love the style in there easy to work on!!
Transmission problems on that yr Mercedes it will start not wanting to go onto gear 5 second delay. Usually reverse goes first
good to know! It seems to be doing good so far, but I'll keep an eye out on it!
