That's a ridiculous machine.Love it.
It has lots of bodge
It looks an insurance nightmare
And it's not too far from me....
Possibly not the best winter smoker though
Shame the conversion uses the majority of the boot space.

Maybe for a bit of fun but there's no way I could drive around in that. Totally fails "could you pick someone up for a 1st date in that without looking like a tt" test! I seem to be in a position of owning 'only' one car for the first time in I don't know how many years. I've just waved off the new owner of an old car, in a deal done easily and quickly, which was at the opposite end of the spectrum to selling my 540iT. There is something to be said for the pain in dealing with the muppets that operate at the bottom of thread budget.
So, I'm now consoling myself by mentally spending all of the cash on something completely inappropriate - which leads me onto a question; Why is it then when you don't have the room nor the cash, there are temptations everywhere, but now that I'm in a position to spend, there is nothing that takes my fancy?

Give us a budget and some requirements to ignore and I'm sure we can help you out.So, I'm now consoling myself by mentally spending all of the cash on something completely inappropriate - which leads me onto a question; Why is it then when you don't have the room nor the cash, there are temptations everywhere, but now that I'm in a position to spend, there is nothing that takes my fancy?

I run an M5, so I'm used to a big bill, but fark! I don't think I can stomach Maser bills whilst in the midst of redoing my househttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-MASERATI-3200-GT-GR...

The ML looks alright for that money doesn't it?
It does and a genuine AMG V8 at half the money of a diesel VW is surely the way to go.Otherwise:

W124 and W201 help please
How hard would it be to transplant a 320 from a W124 into a 190, complete with manual box that is currently fitted to said 320?
Well it has certainly been done before. You would be best off with both cars and the 190 should be a 2.6, preferably a manual. The main bore would be the wiring, but essentially it's a case of removing everything from the 124 and putting it all into the 190.How hard would it be to transplant a 320 from a W124 into a 190, complete with manual box that is currently fitted to said 320?

Easier if the car you're transplanting into is a 2.6. How hard would it be to transplant a 320 from a W124 into a 190, complete with manual box that is currently fitted to said 320?
From what I can fathom, the engine bay is bigger, with a few panels in differing places.
Most conversions have happened now if you read the Merc190 forum, including a 2.3 Kompressor and even a Bluemotion diesel!

Facelift ML55 for little money, looks good to me. 150k is nothing on these motors.KrisP said:

Very easy if you start with a 2.6 which has a different bulkhead and slam panel than the 2.0. the 2.6 block also shares the correct mounts for the M104 320 engine.How hard would it be to transplant a 320 from a W124 into a 190, complete with manual box that is currently fitted to said 320?
The conversion has been done many many times with either the 300-24v or the 320 straight six.
