My New DD

[Billysgoat]

1984 Mercedes 300SD with ONLY 330K on the clock! LOL Just got it back from the body shop getting some work done to it. I purchased it with some light damage to the rear from a wreck so the car had a salvage title issued, to get a tag for it in MS the damage must be repaired and the car inspected by the Highway Patrol, hence the body shop. It still needs some TLC, but overall is in great shape, only two semi major issues with it right now, AC and cruise are inop, but that is what parts cars are for The only other "issue" with it is power, specifically lack thereof :bang Lets face it, a whopping 120 horsies is NOT going to accelerate a 3600lb tank very quickly.


But that's fixable :evil

As I make adjustments to the IP and play with other means of HP addition it's my intention to take lots of pics and maybe even some notes and post it up here for the edification of you the member. Since Dyno Dave will be in attendance at the TS outlaw race it should get on the dyno there for a baseline HP measurement, as changes are made I'll try to get newer numbers or at least some kind of definitive indicators such as 0-60 or some such.

Goat and the Merc

Now I need some help, what to call it? My Dodge is the Goat, but what the heck do you call a Merc? For some reason "Das Hooptie" keeps floating around in my head LOL

OH MY GOD!!!! Billy washed his truck between Houston and the time that pic was taken. I really thought his truck was brown when I first saw it. It's gonna fall apart for sure now. The dirt was holding it together.
