[MBZ] New story at Bring a Trailer - '82 300TD w/V8

2013-05-13 Thread Jon Agne
V8-Swapped 1982 Mercedes Station Wagon This 1982 Mercedes Benz 300TD W123 wagon is powered by a carbureted 383 Chevy crate V8. We’d swap in steel wheels with painted taxi-cab hubcaps, delete the tint, and add the factory steering wheel to make it pretty much perfect for grudge night.

I will be replacing my compressor, drier, and expansion valve this weekend. The compressor died last fall, and it was probably the nasty PAG from the 134 conversion that hastened the demise. I've decided to use ES-12 this time. I was trying to locate some of the Frigi-Quiet II compressor
