Hi guys! I've just got (for almost free) a 2.0 carb 1985 Mercedes 190 (W201) with the 2.0 105HP carburator engine. I'm thinking to use it as winter beater \ cheap drift car.

What do you think? It will drift or it's just a waste of time and money to try it?

My plans are:
Welded diff, Hydro e-brake, strip most of the interiors and put two bucket seats, E36\custom suspension, small 175/14s old tires at the back

Unfortunately I don't think are there any cheap\useful engine mod to increase the hp, if any of you have expericene with those kind of carb cars it would be very helpful
 
I´ve had one ages ago, was actually not to bad. I wasn´t a carb model but also just a 2l K jettonic. We had E36 front hubs left on right and right on left, cut the original balljoint off and fitte a steel plate with a BMW ball joint. changed the turrets for BMW pcd and run e36 coilovers with E36 camber topmountv. tie rods were mercedes, slightly wrong taper in the bmw kuckle, but it worked ok. We run cut in half w124 front springs in back. and that was it drove allright flatout 2nd :)
