Finally got my 69 300SEL 6.3 running

[alabbasi]

I've owned my 69 6.3 for about 6 years. It was destined to become a parts car when i got it and had sat for a long time. The PO had already pulled the transmission and sold it. Progress has been very slow as parts are really expensive on these cars and they are a huge pain in the rear to work on. This coupled with my habit of buying projects every other week has lead to little movement.

I started working on the engine swap last December and finally got around to starting it.

Still lots of work to do, hope you enjoy.

Here's a quick video: https://youtu.be/laFag6wco2A

I saw this video earlier - excellent!

Good luck with the project.

Thanks, heading to the radiator shop today to get my spare rad sorted.

Thanks, it's taken a while to get moving on this project. Mostly my fault because I keep getting distracted by other projects.

The project will pick up now that i have the engine running. I'll update with videos accordingly.
