my new euro 280CE, pics.

[vipercrazy]

im not a w123 option fanatic but if it came with my car that would have been cool.

what other info would my build sheet include other than what the russian vin decoder site gives me?

this has so little rust in 100% positive its had body work done, zero trunk rust, both sides of my 81 have half dollar size holes

Looks good!!! Is the euro motor faster than the US motor?

Date of manufacture is given other than that not much.

yea you dont understand until you own one, its a different world, its just more angry, it shakes and makes noise way more than a US one. its a total sleeper in its present condition

After sitting all night does the Euro stumble for a few seconds like we were talking about through PM?

it has a very small battery(pic) and its been sitting since august. it does crank a long time but i attribute it to that, its only when the key is turned. my 81 stumbles just after the starter lets go. it doesnt stumble always on cold starts but the idle is always really high.

I let it sit out in 30 degree weather last night and it took 3 tries to get it running smooth.
