  • Hi from Germany.

    Hi there,

    I'm new to this site and like to introduce myself a little bit.
    I'm 30 years old and live in Munich, and been modifying cars for like 12 years.
    Owned a couple of cars, from Civics to s13's, Lexus 1Gen IS and SC, an E36, and a Miata.
    Haven't modified each of them but first thing was always coilovers and wheels.
    And now after over a year without a project car I came across a ridiculous cheap W210 in lovely condition. It's a 97 Avantgarde with Sat-Nav, PDC, and all nice bits except leather.
    It has only two pre owners and is well maintained, there's literally no rust, and went through technical inspection flawless. Take a look at it and you can't tell it already has 360k kms (equally to 225k miles) on the clock.

    Here is how I bought it (don't mind the porn store)




    Didn't do much except some facelift tail lights because they old ones are ugly


    Already have some cheap coilovers at home (most stuff for this boat is cheap in Germany) and searching for some wheels now, want to keep it clean and simple.
    Looking on RH ZW1's because they are 2 piece and can be relipped after TÜV haha.
    Maybe add some Facelift sideskirds and rear lip, and if I ever get my hands on a Brabus Lip (no matter if genuine or replica) I'll add it too.

    Lots of words and so much lack of pics(need to fix the links when I'm on the laptop(fixed)). Feel free to ask me anything

    Still no Build thread as this sucker decides to break down every now and then.
    It got the usual electric issues wich don't bother me much. But for a month it's leaking coolant badly. Almost a liter a day. Thought it was the hose clamps, replaced them and now it's leaking even more water.
    A week later it was leaking oil as well. So oil change was due, so I had a look at it. It's leaking at the oil filter, which I got sorted, but it's also leaking at the crankshaft gasket...great...I'm not really excited to pull the tranny.



    A week later a brake pad s*** itself and destroyed the Disc too...hooray
    And if that wasn't enough, the driver side power window failed a week ago.
    I like that car but not sure if I want to spend that much money ����*♂️
    I want to slam it so bad, and the coilovers yell at me to fit them.
