93 Merc 300D pic heavy

[superL8apex]

Been meaning to start a build thread on my bucket for a while. When I bought this car last year it was in rough shape despite only having a verified 66k original miles. I dont have any pics from when I got because it was supposed to just be a daily. Then I kinda got carried away


its first look on E63 wheels


All red tails


Bigger front lip


picked up some OZ vertigos


rebuilding those

Looks much better without the black grille. Nice use of the VW VR6 lip btw
