I would do dirty things to have that bench seat! Car looks amazing! I own the green car in your first post, you should have found me and talked to me at the show. Can't wait to see more of your project.

I've been doing some little things, but I'm waiting to start a new job before I get the accuair system. In the mean time I ordered 4 RE6 airbags and I found this on a local buy and sell website, it looks awesome in the dash.

Christmas came early I still need the air management but at least I can start making brackets etc.



I also have this FB page with random merc and stance pics

nice set up i will be following your set up since i need my mercedes bagged as well

[Bildick]

love old Mercs cant wait to see it on bags!

Thanks guys...I haven't started bagging yet because I'm working on the engine. It was burning way too much oil, so much that the sump was dry. I started stripping the engine and I found the cylinder head wasn't torqued down properly. At least the internals seem ok and the motor was overhauled at some point judging by the gasket and sizes stamped on the pistons....I want to inspect the crank before putting it back together

Boom:
