1994 Mercedes Benz W124/S124 250D
The car has been in our family since it rolled out from the factory (and got imported from Germany to Sweden). Got it from my father (Mercedes enthusiast).
Cons:
-Slow
Pros:
-everything else
Very, very comfortable and practical. Fits 7 people with the 2 extra seats in the trunk. Or 2 people and a regular bed. Or even a small boat. Very reliable, nothing has ever broken in the past 22 years.
Done:
-17” Monoblock Rims
-Decent stereo with iPod connector and speakers (Rainbow Germany DL X 4.7)
-Re-painted due to some corrosion + wear over the years
-New original front blinkers, as the old ones got matte + some cracks
Plans:
-Leather electric/heated seats
-Detachable subwoofer in the trunk
-Foldable Antenna with original Antenna button
-Electric windows back
-Professionally tinted windows
-Maybe, just maybe, a swap for a bigger petrol engine (E500). It requires a bit of work, but is not impossible :)

Great car. If you want it to be faster just drop in 2.5TD, get pump with bigger elements and bigger turbo, intercooler.
It would just add +/- 20 horsepower. If I’m gonna swap the engine, I want the 500. It would add a whopping 200 HP and make a difference :)
