Finally, my long-time quest for a classic Mercedes-Benz Type 180D "Ponton" has come to an end. Inspired by Mr. Lorenzo Pacho's 180Db, my 180D adviser and fellow enthusiast Attorney Bobby Gonzales and Mr. Jojo Solis drove me to appreciate the OM 636 diesel engine, and kept the fire inside me burning to acquire a legendary "PONTON."
Thanks so much for the help. I will be very happy to hear comments, suggestions, and of course compliments!These photos are from before the restoration.
Always the best,
Tirso
