Exactly! It will be better than ever! It's gonna look like a proper w124! Lol Hahaha I've done my homework this time!

+1. The changes look great thus far.

Thanks man! It will surely look much better with paint! I'm excited!

This is cool

Thanks man!

Keep it up! Glad the badge came off finally.

Yeah it finally came off!

Wow. Total change! I like how the fenders are more subtle now!

[archiechiang]

So a couple of parts arrived from the states!*



New pentiometer! This is the instrument cluster light dimmer, located behind the cluster gauge.*







And I finally got a new headlight switch (oem ones tend to beak inside after 20 years and the car is about 25 years old already)*








And I got the projectors I ordered that I will retrofit in the existing headlights that I have(much like what zorroamg did with his on his amazing w124). I will use them for a while then sell it afterwards and use the OEM ones I bought. 😄*









That's all for now!*


I should be able to get my car already by Monday nextweek. I can't wait to drive her home already!!*
