Hi, another 'Dutchie' here!
Well, let's start with basics;
21, from Arnhem, The Netherlands, car-enthusiast with a slight touch of late 80's styling (on cars ofc.). Studying Automotive Engineering and I'm currently driving an '86 Mercedes-Benz 260E with 5spd manual, has done just 147k's, bought it bare stock, except it had type2 bodypanels fitted.
It pretty cheap to run, as it has an LPG-system fitted, and because all the cars from 1986 or older are (road-)tax-free in Holland...
sweet!
Slight problems are some rust-issues on the rear wheelarches and the trans isn't that fresh anymore (partly my own fault). But hey! it keeps me busy
Specs;
-M103 2.6 Straight-6 on LPG
-5spd Manual
-type2 (MOPF1) bodykit
-avantgarde grille
-MOPF2 rearlights
-CARAT rear spoiler
-40mm lowered
-stock shocks (40mm is max. for std shocks)
-16x8 (BBS) BRABUS Monoblock I's (very rare) with 205-50 winter tyres
-17x8 W220 S-class Avantgarde wheels with 225-45's up front and 245-45's at the rear (summer)
Next stuff on the list:
-M103 3.0 swap (mayB Mosselmann TwinTurbo set-up when funds are ready)
-Getrag dogleg box from a W201 2.3-16v (the 'Cossie')
-ASD diff with manual override.
-500E wheelarches (need to cut&weld anyway)
-Brabus front bumper w. fogs
-power windows
-Custom exhaust
-full leather interior
-MORE STANCE!!
It's probably not really SW-worthy (yet), but I'll give it a try....
hope u appreciate it.

the way the old merc is running nowadays:
On it's summershoe's (although not very sunny...):
yes, i know the tyres are too chunky, but got them 4 free....
the way i bought the old 'gal' along with my brother-in-law's old E36 M3
