I suppose its time to open up a thread on this. Late this summer I purchased a W115 on a whim while approaching the owner at a local meet to set up a photo shoot. He ambitiously agreed and immediately mentioned that it was actually for sale. After hearing the price I was ready to go to the ATM right there in the parking lot and take out the money. Ended up sending him the money the very next morning via Paypal. I've really been wanting one of these...


That afternoon I began my photo shoot with it within minutes of the car showing up. Nothing special, just needed some of those "first day" shots for comparison down the road.

I think the second or third day I removed the ugly US spec front bumper and changed the oil. Then came 2-3 weeks of sitting outside drinking fine craft brews just staring at the car for hours on end tossing around all sorts of ideas. There were lots of good ideas, but none set it apart enough from all the other incredible builds I've seen with this body style.
So a somewhat rough concept has been conceived and work has begun. I won't be giving a full list of everything that WILL be happening, BUT I will be updating this thread with progress photos of every step along the way. There's no hiding this thing, I mean it's being built in a parking lot of all places.
