I Just bought a 250se, looking forward to watching your build.

Classy oldschool wheels are always the best bet. Modern wheels may look "out of the box" now, but will end up looking cheap and low class in the long run. Trust me. I've been there and done it

Also, have you already thought about doing the max legal tint in dark green/torqoise all around instead of only the rears? Otherwise you might end up with a typical "Tokkie" theme on the car...

Could not agree with this more, I'd love to see some oldscholl small mesh wheels on this thing. 14 or 15's would be nuts! I believe RogueStarInd is building his to tuck 18's all around but I am not 100% positive. Can't wait to see what you do with this!

i think i must experience all that shiit first, but it'll probally not going to be my only set of Rims, but it has such a nice price so I really cant let them go though.
I did tint 1 windows today, but i wasnt feeling it.. maybe i tint them maybe not.. will see guys

edit: and some classy wheels are damn pricey, so first a "decent" set of wheels will be fine for me imo

Bringing her HOME <3

so fella's,

allot of work has been done! Got all the fcking Rubbers in...
holy shiit that shit is a pain in the ass....

but that was just 1 day.
After that I put all the windows in the doors.
Then I made my doors hanging straight
my Trunk, Fenders and Hood. those things are also a pain in the ass to do, but whatever im happy with the Outcome of it.

anywho, I've put my new Brake discs on (just the front)
tomorrow iI will do the back brake discs / Rotors / whatever they called
Also ordered some window tint foil.. but dont know if im gonna do the rear window, since i want some of those old school shade thingy's..

god I feel retarded, dont know any word written or spoken in english

here some pics for you Ladies!





























That was the last day in the Shop.. but the boss said they needed the space for non Project cars like skoda's and stuff

But now she's at her old home, safely in the little Garage/Barn of my Grandfather











This side of the Garage is full with my stuff, so my Grandpa doesnt put his car inside it because hes scared something will fall on it Nah JK, sometimes he's Lazy
but I seriously have all my interior stuff in there but theres enough room for his car.



And a last shot of the day, my little Hatchet at the side of the house of my Grandparents



The Drive was Amazing btw.. it isnt road legal so we did take a different route then the main roads. but at 80km/h its a heaven to drive in!!

Also orderd some Brake Caliper Paint, have to pay the shop still, and when i save up enough money im going to get the wheels and cut the springs. WHY? u probally think, because im almost broke lol..and im going to order my stuff at Bagriders and if I want everything orderd at once i need to save up allot of money

well thats it for now guys, next update will be in a week or so
with mostly some little Things done

I know I dont get really fast to lowering and stuff.. but this is also a new experience for me. everything i've done so far was my first time doing it.. i've come a long way, but still have to learn allot!!!

Hope you all Enjoyed

[JHermes]

Nice! This car will look amazing!

Where did you finally find the rubbers?

Thank you sir!

all kinds of websites, from Germany, Denmark and Turkey.
But the big pieces of rubber are mostly from a guy that has all kinds of stuff especially for the W114/115
