Gold 190E

[84Benz]

good point about fitment before paint. i will repaint roof hood trunk doors and leave the fenders alone for now. If i go static it will be yellow speed racing coilovers. i want a nice ride cruiser though. how rough is static when your really low?
I like the idea of pretty much keeping the exterior looks the way it is. just cleaning it up to factory spec stance it and make the interior super nice!

weve all been here... starting our build with a POS. please work on suspension first! after that find wheels and pretty up the exterior...

Good luck man, projects are some times PAINS IN THE ASS! but its a love/**** relationship i guess, i love w201s, do this one right!

[w201e34]

im parting out a 2.3 190e right now, lemme know if you need any parts. i wanna see this thing back in action, i **** seeing 190s in such a poor state

[84Benz]

i need misc. iterior switches and a non cracked dash for now. i will post up pictures of the interior tonight to show you what i am working with and what i need.

[w201e34]

That seems to be what everyone needs. I got tons of switches, shoot me a pm I'll let you know what I can do. Unfortunately i'm in the middle of selling my minty fresh uncracked dash.

[84Benz]

thats cool. i am considering wrapping dash in either leather or a tan and white plaid with other bits of the interior done the same way.
also i am not sure what one of the switched i need. i need a sunroof one and another one that is pushed into the dash also missing the "seats" for the seat adjust switches. not memory setup.

it is raining and i am lazy when it is chilly.

[84Benz]

Ok pics of the worst of the interior. Main things are dash, a few misc switches missing, a good shampoo and general scrubbing. honestly ever bit of the interior will need to be touched...

[w201e34]

Holy fuck that's rough. Good news, your car has actual leather seats, instead of the mbtex which is a vinyl material most Mercedes came with. However there's no way you can recover that shit. This car has seen better days but its still recoverable

[womensecks]

Make sure you're fully vaccinated before you start workin' on that thing.

In all seriousness, 190Es will forever have a soft-spot in my heart <3

[Night Colors]

needs lot of work done good luck on ur project man

[84Benz]

so to damaged for a recover? well i think i will get it running soon and see if trans is really bad or if it just need a flush and some adjustment. then i will start collecting bag parts and wheels. sorry but i have always wanted a vehicle on bags and this will be it. but will set it up to have a very low riding height.

[84Benz]

Fuel pump on the way! will see how she runs soon enough!

Wow man this is a ruuuuuffffff start, but the journey is what make our builds so worthwhile. I know each and every happy and pissed moment that comes and goes only makes you want to keep it more. In the end, its because of those good times and hard ships that make you want to continue.

Good Luck and....
