      This is cool. One day I will own a beat shitbox I'm not gonna give a damn about. Drive the tits off of it and piss waaay too many people of.

      Stay bumperless, bend the exhaustpipe straight up and get some reaaally weird wheels. This is awesome.

        This is just awesome, through some stupid wide wheels and call it a day man. I like the green but definitely needs a push bar on the front and maybe a tube bumper on the back.... with a winch, maybe two.......

          Despite all efforts this is more or less the way the car will roll to sowo, I had planned on getting some shitty rep wheels but I lost hours at work and just didn't have the funds. I'll see you guys around Helen, sorry if you don't want me going or I'm ruining your meet but I'm not bringing my stock W126.

              I had planned on getting the AV-17s from Avid 1 but my friend got some and it'd be pretty lame if we had the same wheels so I'm pretty much undecided on what to get. There's these pretty shit rotiform reps by JNC that I considered called jnc035s

                  Yeah I have a 420SEL

                  They're not hubcaps but they have those dumb dust shields in them.

                      I thought of putting some oem MK4 jetta steelies and caps on but the 5x100 - 4x100 adapters are stupid expensive.

                            I really like the no rear bumper look for some reason. I always wanted to do something like this to a Tercel once I saw how cheap you could pick them up for. Maybe someday I'll get around to doing that.

                              Yeah the no bumper look really goes with the military theme I'm going for. This car has cost me close to nothing to modify, it has literally no springs. Sometimes shit just works out when you don't give a fuck. I'd definitely recommend building something like this.

                                put these door insulator lips on the other day, looks pretty good imo. Really getting fed up with this thing not being low enough and not having the money for proper suspension. It's hard to justify $1000 BCs on this thing when it's such a shit box, not to mention BC doesn't make an extreme low coilover for this car so idek if it would put me on the ground like I want. If someone has any advice on a cheap solution to making my chassis bottom out before my suspension, while also being pretty stiff, PLEASE let me know. Also if anyone is a chiropractor that will be attending sowo, let me know cause I'm probably going to need a fucking adjustment after driving on cut springs for 5+ hours. Ugh.
