Hello everybody. I'll get straight into it. This is the car, a 1995 s500 that i bought 2 years ago. It was in decent shape, but it was still a 16 year old mercedes so i had to spend the rest of my money fixing random things
It isn't much, but i thought i'd start a build thread since i have a lot planned for the summer.
the day i bought it.
and it stayed boring for a while until i got a bit more money and started to modify it. I am not anywhere close to how i want it, but some little things here and there.
the list of things so far(not really mods i know, but i'm getting there)
-Exhaust(because i was a kid and v8's sound nice)
-s600 grill
-illuminated door sills(i have no idea why, just because
)
-euro clear corner lights
-10% window tint
-new tail lights. feel free to **** on those, i bought them on ebay because the stock ones were ridiculously crusty. I dont know how i feel about them and i might just buy some oem clear ones.
-w221 wheels(they were laying around and looked better than stock)
taillights
corners and stock wheels
my favorite picture of my car as of now
installing the door sills, this was before i got them wired up.. sorry.
that is it as of now, my plans for the summer are to convert the rear hydraulic suspension to normal springs and shocks so i can get lower. I cant afford air suspension right now but that is definitely the plan in the future. I am also getting curtains made for the rear since i consider that a must.
As for wheels, i picked up some 20" lorinser reps for cheap. I'm not proud of it but i can assure you they are only temporary. I got them mainly because they were cheap and i wanted to test out the fitment of a 20" wheel and to play around with offsets and tire size. I figure once i get the look i want i will start looking for either 19" or 20" wald duchatelet.
here is a picture of the lorinser reps, my brother works a wheel shop so he stripped and painted them for me.
and lastly, here is a quick photoshop of how i hope to get it looking over the summer.
thanks for looking
