I am really amazed at the visibility the R107 has with the top down.
Sitting in a few other newer drop tops, the rear is too high to see
out of.
Yeah, it's stunning. Everything else looks like
a cat in heat by comparison.

looked like people were flying in the air! That flying camera was pretty
neat too!

Make certain you don't have a high pressure leak under the hood! It's

Otherwise, yup, time for an evaporator.

Nice! IIRC, the 124 coupe got the 24V M104 first & the
124 sedan/wagon followed in '93. The '91 126 still has the 12V M103.
