  • Lucky's build - MB W210 E320

    I have been in the process of working on this car for a while now, but with summer here, hopefully I can get more time into this project and have it "completed" within a month or so.

    Bought it bone stock and dirt cheap. 1997 E320 with 101k miles. Black Opal (but it looks dark blue).

    Not my pic, but this is how it looked when I get her.



    Within a week, I had W211 wheels, H&R cup kit, tint, and DEPO HID's





    Painted the wheels, smoked the tail lamps



    Month later, I made a rash mistake and bought some 19" Stern wheels



    I think GOD made this happen as punishment for the Sterns. Back ice and no full coverage.



    I drove around like this for 4 months. Got some wierd looks.



    Got some new parts, and decided to make a custom bumper from two different halves. (Nothings been alligned yet)



    New wheels and lowered it another half inch all around



    still havent finished the bumper



    AMG 3-piece just to settle my curiosity and I started on the bumper again



    And here is where I'm at today. Started sanding for re-spray, just getting the glossy finish down, need to fill in a ton of scratches and key marks from the PO's ownership.



    I'll post more when I have it. I am doing all the work myself and when it is done, I know it won't be perfect. It will be perfectly imperfect, and I am more than OK with that.

    C&C welcome, suggestions and informational help more than OK too.

    Cheers.

    awesome.

    I love Benz's. I usually don't care much for that body style but those AMG wheels made it work well.

    I really want to do a W123 eventually.

        I wasn't so sure about the body style either, but the price was too good to pass and I know I can make it work.

        I very much want a W123 wagon next myself!

            You need another set of these so you can roll permanently on this setup. That looks BALLER!

                  Too small, they make the car look like a mexi-euro. The 9.5' Brabus rears will go on the front and the fronts will get new deeper outer rings and go on the rear when these tires wear out. They will look sick, trust me.

                  You and me both. With running 3 part time businesses, working another part time job, two girlfriends, a 12 y/o daughter, and 3 other project cars I am going as fast as I physically can.
