Well I have done some small jobs on the car. Built on a Windshield wiper motor from a W124 when my old one had problems getting the wiper over the windshield. Then I also had a left rear view mirror in place, even that from a W124. A little fix with the electrical system has given better lighting inside and also a working central lock. Now just to wait for the snow and try with rear wheel drive, it was long ago . |

....And as a bonus, I noticed that the magnetic coupling to the cooling fan started working, so now I have restored the fan and got a few extra horsepower when it isnt spinning with all the time and slows the engine. |

Good news, though I adore the roaring of the enging when the coupling locks on the fan

Hello again! Now the car is inspected and it was not so fun ... a spring in the back was broken and a balljoint right front was loose, but the biggest problem was the CO content. CO = 9.9 (should be max 0,5) HC = 680 (max 100) CO2500 = 8.6 (max 0.3) !!!!! but the engine consumes only 0.8 liters / 10 km, which is very strange, I think. Tomorrow I'm going to the workshop and get it balanced. Will be exciting to see what is wrong.
