  • The Cossie Twins

    Hey Everyone,

    Figured I would start a build thread since both of these will be going different directions and it'd be fun to share it with you. Some of you know me, some of you don't. I'm Spencer.

    After the MINI that some of you may remember, I bought an RS coupe, not my thing. Then stumbled across one, then two fairly similar Mercedes- Benz 190e 2.3-16 Cosworths. Both are Blue-Black (BLAUSCHWARTZ)

    Benny- 1986 with 125k on the ODO.
    This was the first car I picked up and it's currently my Daily until the other one get back on the road.
    Calvin- 1987 with 183k on the ODO.
    I came across this car from a friend contacting me and telling me he found one in auction. Without even looking at it I told him i'd buy it and it showed up several days later. It runs but doesn't drive. (Fuel issue.)

    Both are clean titles and pretty straight. Calvin has some rust but you'll see it eventually.

    I am a BMW guy... but I love most cars and these cars are just fantastic. Any questions or whatever just post here or PM me. Enjoy.

    Some photos:

    Gotta love that wheel gap.

    Not much to report right now but I'll update this as much as possible. Just thought I would start now.

                              I wouldn't say super super rare... Only 2k were imported between 86-87 to the US. I did get lucky and come across the more desired dog-leg blue-blacks though.

                              Thank you to everyone. I don't have a large update but I have started ordering parts. As of right now I only have Saturdays to work the cars... But still loving it!

                              Fuel filters and oil filters for both cars..


                              The stereo that came in Calvin (87.) Removed it this weekend.
