I'll be selling my wagon this year, tossing up whether to do it now or later. I'm in no rush as it's still my daily.
Initial asking price is $3000
It's a factory manual 1985 with around 320,000 kms. Rego till July.
Last year I jagged a trailer of parts, the whole car except shell, gearbox and motor. It was all off a early nineties GLE (apparently anniversary edition) that had only done 40 000kms, this is clear by the state of the parts.
In the past year I've swapped it all onto my wagon including but not limited to:
- doors including interior trim ie; power windows, front and rear speakers etc
- all interior including carpet, leather seats, smaller steering wheel etc
- front end including: new ps rack, all bushing/joints, control arms, struts and towers
- all springs and shocks, I cut the springs though, still have some originals if you want to put it back to standard height
Other work i've done is just getting it back to Stage 0:
- K cam
- New pads, callipers and vented discs
- in-tank fuel pump
- all gaskets + seals
- plugs + leads
- injectors
- k&n filter
- all new fluids
- fuel filter
- oil filter
- new battery
- new windscreen
My favourite bits are the wind deflectors, roof racks, white walls, fender mirror and that 85 grill mmmmm
It starts first go every time although it can take a couple seconds and some gas.
If i was keeping it I would eventually tackle the rear end and bushings but not urgent. Has a rust spot under one of the A pillars C pillars so i would patch these up and re-spray it.
Reason for selling is i'm moving to the states nek year
I'll chuck up some more photos tonight.
Cheers
Oh and i'm in Sydney
