You guys should search for some MOPF1 headlights, with the square glass like mine has. Because with these, the grille looks a bit odd

Incorrect. 400E's and E420's were built solely by Mercedes. Just because they have wider fenders then a 300E does not mean they were not built along side them on the assembly line.

Porsche assembled, and slightly modified the early run 500E's. Late runs, and '94 E500's were built by MB just like all of the other W124's. Moral of the story here is that a 400E was not built by Porsche.

Nice W124, keep the build going, these cars will out live all of us.

Only the 500E / E500 where built by Porsche together with Mercedes, these are very rare cars, if you ever get a chance, owe one.

Also ....
- 400E / E420 don't have wider fenders, they are the same as all W124's only the 500E / E500 is a wide body.
- All 500E / E500 where built by Porsche together with Mercedes, not just some years.

Here's a shot of my Black 500E, the one behind it is stock and has 590K miles on it with original motor and tranz.

That's a wikipedia page which can be edited by people like you and me. Technically it's still a debate, but if you ask the people who worked at Mercedes from 1992-1995 chances are they will tell you what I just told you, which is that the latter ones were made in house by Mercedes. The only reason they went to Porsche was because Mercedes did not have enough room for assembly, in fact Mercedes asked AMG before Porsche but AMG wouldn't have been able to produce them quick enough with their small building. Between 8 and 12 were completed daily. There is a reason for Wikipedia not being a credible source for research papers in school.

"there's nothing more expensive than a cheap mercedes."

Amen to this!

Had one, ended up buying second one just for parts... two wasn't enough to make one. Sold both in the end.


Good luck with your build OP, hopefully you'll get further than I did!

[Exami]

Just fukit and swap something else in it, it will be better than the MB's own stove :P

Sorry for me being so dick but i had to do it

[Rob&co]

I dont know any of this witch craft, BUT i do know it has the wider arches! I have a 89 300 e class right next to it and it sure is more flared out! lol


Ether way its not going anywhere lol... We had it for 4 years if it takes another 4 years to finish were okay with that
