Another great vid! Have a W123 and W212. The W123 230e, rust is your enemy (as you well know!!), everything else is easily do-able and to be honest quite enjoyable as a project. I found the spendy bit is rust repairs as im not competent at welding. The W212 ive had nothing but repairs despite being 25 years younger!
Jesus, £100 an hour labour? Rough times in Armagh? Looks great though. I moved to the Dromore area not that long ago and I've found a fella that operates out of a shed and isn't VAT registered. He used to work for SERE charged 40 quid an hour labour. Time will tell if that's a good thing or not...
Hi! I’m in the middle of a Golf 2 TDI swap, and i noticed that you havent finished your series. I didn’t watch any of your other videos to be honest. Did you finish it, but its not in the playlist?

Those w123 are probably the best cars ever made. I'm glad to see plenty are still around and for sale.
Costs usually start out high and then gradually lower as you work your way through all the little problems
That is true!
120 % .....you pick up the previous guys laundry list if you're unfortunate .
Good to know, and thanks for the detailed presentation.
Outstanding reportage!

You're absolutely right Owen!

40 an hour is a steal if he's good! Times are always rough in Armagh haha!
Nice I just bought a W210 E300 TD

Sorry we haven’t finished it yet, we’ve had too many customer cars and other things going on. We hope to finish it this year as the car is MOT exempt!
Can you compare w115 driving vs 123
That would be a good video

This one's the 240 - not too bad in manual!
@@427Motorsports So the manuals get up to speed faster than the automatic?
Well done, and sure aren’t you happy driving it!
Wouldn't change it for anything!
@@427Motorsports Gotta love how nice ol w123 are to drive, no matter the engine. ❤
