  • Tale of an Old Black German Lady :Gretta

    Ok guys so I have been wanting a project for a while now so I can force myself to stop modifying my DD, so it doesn't get so low I **** dailying it, and Stance/Works has made me love old Mercedes and their classiness. So I recently turned 18 and my dad gave me his E21 and although I liked the car, I just could not get the W114/W115 Mercedes out of my head so when I found out a local buddy (Mushroom_Toy) was getting rid of one that he had, I asked if he wanted to maybe trade. Not thinking much would come of it, but apparently he was kinda on the lookout for one. So I went over within a few days of speaking about it over facebook and we exchanged titles and keys..err screwdriver for the E21. But that's his story, without further ado I present to you. Gretta The W114. She might be old and rusty but the more I look at her the more I fall in love! Anyways, on to the pictures of said W114.





    The awesomely cracked roof

    OH YEAH FLINTSONE STATUS


    Original miles as per the title states

    the heart of the beast


    Yup so that's Gretta. She needs floor pans and Carb adjustment, but other than that I think
    she's pretty awesome! Don't expect rapid progression with this build as I don't have a job at the moment but I will try my best to keep you guys updated as progress ensues.Only plans so far is to get it from Luke's house to my house, a semi-raised floor, slammages,Some VIP like stuff(blacked out windows,Curtains,ETC.), and have the wheels banded for a better SpringleSprangle. Feel free to give me any advise you guys may have as I am new to the whole euro thing and have never owned anything besides Hondas. Thanks for reading!

                      Queso, told you it would be slow guys and I wasn't lying
                      I did the taillights 50/50 style because they where faded and plus new taillights are outrageous! I think they came out pretty awesome.


                      will be checking around for prices on diamond plate for the floor tomarrow
                      ALSO: the car will be getting moved from my house to my dads shop where we can really dig into this thing, then progress will pick up. Slightly
