I love your car and your travels Blurg! I consider it inspiration for my Volvo wagon expedition vehicle, and planned trip to South America with my wife.
I have a few questions if you have time:
1) Have you looked into any locking differential or limited slip options for this car? Are you already using something like that?
2) Can you give more details about how you lifted it? Were the rubber blocks between the spring coils, or between the end of the spring and the body?
3) Have you ran into any problems needing hard to find replacement parts in remote places? If so, how did you deal with this?

Amazing - i'm driving a W123 occasionally. Its a limousine, very silent drive with very soft springs and hydraulic level adjustment. Bashing it to capetown overland sounds like fun - the mods sound very necessary!
Seen several doing the same with a 190D - extremely wanted in Africa!

I have been watching these things on craigslist lately and I'm having a hard time not pulling the trigger on one.
