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.
