Hey, my name is Lucky, this is Rosalie my 1982 Euro greymarket 500SE AMG. 126k orig miles, one previous owner, maintenance records, and it was turn-key 
The day I picked her up.
First thing I did was tune up, fresh plugs and wires, oil change and air filter, and upgraded to a 560 dual snorkel air cleaner...after I polished it of course.
Compare to old cleaner
Next was headlights and corners. Got some DEPO euro lamps with bi-xenon bulbs, city lights replaced US style parking lights. Took me a bit to figure out how to re-wire back to euro lamps from the US headlamp re-wire job, but I got it.
Added a euro plate, and removed the front air-dam for fix and repaint.
Picked up some refinished wheels. 17x8.5 with Falken 215/40 and 17x10 with 235/40 AMG by O.Z. to replace the badly painted and curbed up BBS Mahle basket weaves. I will re-finish the BBS in my spare time and add them to my ever growing wheel collection.
Test fit.
Wheels are off the car and as soon as I have a chance, they will be taken apart and the centers will be painted. Have spacers and smaller spring pads to install as well.
Rollin on Brabus 3-piece 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 until then.
Thanks for looking, plenty more to come. C&C always welcome. And I am always willing to listen to creative ideas.
