Re: [MBZ] did this work?
Well I disagree to an extent, if you are gonna pump money into a 109 you really want the M116 3.5L engine. MB produced this engine for a long time and it should be easy enough to get a hold of one, if needed. Given the state of the car and the engine in it, I would walk away, unless you got it for 500.

Air suspension is air suspension, but its a W109 and W112. Parts are not horrible in price, and once its done, its fixed for a long time. If the car falls overnight, thats pretty bad.

Re: [MBZ] did this work?
My response from BANNED: Wow, Velour! Now that's super cool. That's a /8 model, a face lift of sorts for the original W108/9 that started in 1968. I don't see the air compressor/PS pump on the engine. Not sure if its mounted on the M130 in the same place as the M189, certainly could be down lower. It would be interesting to see if it really runs and drives ok. The rust repair is a scary thing, and it looks to be overall in sad shape, but still could be a worthwhile car.

Re: [MBZ] did this work?
The M130 makes this a less risky car, since you can get a good engine pretty easily if you need one. Even a rebuild isn't unreasonable. Air suspension is air suspension, but its a W109 and W112. Parts are not horrible in price, and once its done, its fixed for a long time. If the car falls overnight, thats pretty bad.
