hi all,
been loving this forum as a lurker for some time.....thought it was time I signed up and showed some of my rides. not all stanced (not to the degree I see on here!) but seriously, the roads in the UK suck!
so, as the name suggests, Mercedes is my weapon of choice:
1st 190E - mechanically pretty stock but lots of suspension goodies
it was also featured on discovery wheeler dealers - here it is with Mike brewer driving. I saw this pic in the merc appreciation thread - chuffed
and here it is at Santa Pod at my annual club meet:
wheels were OZ operas, 17x8 ET35 - 215/40/17 tyres.
anyway, long story short, I smashed it up at the nurburgring......so I bought another one and did this to it:
then i decided i prefered the original look, so made it look like this instead:
then i got bored, and turbo's it with a mossleman turbo system and some other goodies:
and got a mag feature in a mercedes mag:
then i sold it when i got divorced
while later, got myself an E55 AMG. big silver blog. very boring (although incredibly quick,....) so I did this:
hard slam with cut coils, black wheels/mirrors, AMG plaques, de badge, camo headlining (FTW!)
then i swapped that for another 16v
which is currently being re-built with bike carbs and megajolt and some yummy brake and suspension tweaks. here it is after some major rust repair and chopping the springs:
new rims - staggered AMG's
more new rims - borbet C:
brakes ready to go on - WP Pro 8 Pots:
so, thats about where I am now....lots to go - might even start a build thread.
i also run www.mercedes-cosworth.co.uk - few more snaps and details over there
hello to all, i think i might like it here
