I'm liking this. Simple, clean and era-correct mods.

Thanks!

Nothing really changed in the last month since I went in vacation... But, next week the car will probably be few inches lower. FINALLY.

Love the car. Unfortunately they don't sell for much right now but they've been gaining speed on their value so I think in 2 or so years you'll be at a huge profit. If you leave it somewhat stockish.

Yeah they are very underrated compared to the convertible one... I won't change anything too big on it, I like how it looks stock but there are few things that can be changed .

Car is looking good! nice job on the wheels

Good choice of wheels and car

Thanks! Sometimes you gotta stick to the classics !

I'm currently looking at a R107 with the AMG bumpers (euro bumpers), springs, wheels and all... Very rare ! So no changes on the car for now since I'm looking at my budget if I can afford the AMG stuff

Here's a little picture from today:

Bags? Beautiful car btw, one of the few Mercs I actually really like

I would loooooveeeee to go with Bags but it would need to be customs so $$$$$$... I'm a student so I'm a bit short on money when it comes to big expenses..

Hi everyone! My name is Max and I'm from Quebec,Canada. So everything starts in august last year... I'm looking on the internet for some kind of project when I see this:



Which is a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC that had only 2 owners, with only 94 000 miles and evaluated for over $11 000, for sale at $4 000. First thing that comes to my mind: I'll buy it and sell it back, 7k in profit could make me a bunch of money for my project. Next thing you know, it's in my driveway and I don't want to sell it. Well, of course it is for sale in case someone offers me the price I'm looking for but I doubt someone will pay the exact price of the evaluation .

Because of the 6 months winter, I had to put it in storage with nothing changed on it. It looked like that before storage:









At the beginning of june, I was looking on the internet to find some wheels when I saw those beauties:





Hell yeah, some BBS RS 008.

I just dislocated my shoulder in vacation so I had nothing else to do but refurbish them. Sent them for paint at Euroldschoolers ( https://www.facebook.com/Euroldschoo...rkShop?fref=ts ), which is owned by one of my buddies, and after rebuilding them that's how they turned out:





They aren't perfect yet, they are not polished exactly like I want..
Final spec: 16x7 front / 16x8 rear

With the wheels on:





This morning, I started a little something for the trunk:



And that's pretty much where I'm at right now!
Next steps would be:
Drop it at least 2 inch in the front
