Merc 190 pending stance...

[JamieCee]

Ive been looking at getting a 190E for a while just think they look really nice

[darkside]

That looks cool

Would look better without the spoiler though

[Jack25]

that interior is like, god-status here in the states.

Really? did you not get this one then?

I like it, just wish the drivers seat was in better condition. Might try and replace it or get it repaired in the future.

Yeah, not seen it yet but he's on a 190 forum I'm on. Think he's on cut springs aswell, and he's knows that guy with that insanely nice brown 190. If i saw both those drive past at the same time I think I would literally blow up.

i think i would too aha

also have a look at this months Retro Cars mag, theres a 190 on the cover, Was the white one from Modded Natts, soo boss.

I was thinking, get the FK 70/40mm set then get the thinner seats and maybe do a bit of cutting at the back

Yeh you can get lower spring cups and springs but you'll still probably need to cut them to get it sitting low. That's the problem with mercs you can't get coilovers because of the suspension setup. Mines the same. You can get a type of coil over but they are basically spring compressors and don't look very good.

[Jack25]

Gonna look so sick once it's on the floor.
But hold out for coilies, don't cut the springs cos the MOT guys will flip.
Also, a nice good condition 190 like that deserves a bit of love.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one...

Thanks. No coilovers available for 190s best there is are the H&R cup kit which does a 60/40mm drop and FK do a similar kit which does 70/40mm. Thinner spring seats are also available which add about another 15mm drop i believe.
here's an example of one on the H&R with the 8mm spring seats

Welcome man, you gonna come along to the meet this weekend? If so can you pick up a set of wheels for me in Gloucester? lol

Yeah like stampers said don't cut your springs before the MOT or you'll fail for uncaptive springs. Get MOT then do things as you'll have a year to suss it out then With the wheels just keep sanding and make sure you keep the paper flat on the angles so you don't loose the definition of the bends, lip etc. They'll come up stunning just keep at it. Here's a thread with a few tips aswell.

Cheers, don't think I will be coming to the meet soz, lol.
With the sanding I might cut myself some bits of wood to the right size to try and get better edges.
Thanks for the link, I actually read that through before starting along with about 5 guides/threads.

Looks like a mint 190. Will look amazing when it's finished. Just put the cut in the spring cups for the mot.

Lol, yeah it looks good from a distance but when you get up close there are quite a few problems. main one being I think it has had some sort of impact on the n/s front quarter. The 'fender' looks like it might have been replaced with a pattern part as it doesn't fit quite right. Also the door sits a little low on the hinge. Other than that and a few small bit of rust on the panels which I'll sort out when I get some paint and the rust underneath its alright.

I'm gunna wait for the drop till after the mot. I should be concentrating on finding a job anyway
Anyone know of any jobs for someone with a degree in architecture who doesn't want to be an Architect?

It should be fine as long as too much isnt cut off. I've taken two and a half coils off with no problems.

[Anonymoose]

Yeah but if they jack the car up like they usually do the spring will be loose, if your guy doesnt though I want
