Big Booty Benz / '86 420 SE

[Laef]

K.
My spring compressor should be here tomorrow (i hope)

Since last time :

Painted black and polished the front grill. Now i'm happy with it

"Noseless"




Got some great stuffs







Oh yeah, got my hands on dirt cheap Borbet type A
8.5x17 and 10x17




Did a couple of gas station shots and realized i've seen this place too many times this past week haha









Yes, again.




Then I go to the same spot I shot the e34 last year



Took my first pic with this thing











Aaaand here's a render of what should happen in a couple of dayzz

[Laef]

Well yeah in a sense it's the best looking aftermarket grill for w126 but i prefer the original look tho...

Btw any tips for cutting springs anyone?

[P78]

or buy an avantgarde grill, will be better then black imo

[Laef]

Appreciate it!

That's it! thx to remind me the black grill i forgot to put it on the todo list haha

[bhp96]

Really nice w126 you have there! I would like to see the plastic in the grill black, makes the car alot fresher.

Whatup guys, just ordered a MB specific spring compressor (heard it's hard to remove them with a classic one)

So in two weeks i'll be able to lower this thing

Also i put some audio in the car with a little basslink in the trunk, sounds pretty decent now

Oh and just to keep y'all on hold here's a shitty ps haha

[Laef]

Thanks man ! Love your build, it greatly influenced my car choice

[hi its me alec]

Nice, I wish SE models were easier to find in the US. Yours is a super clean car for the mileage.

rip e34. as much as I love bmws I must say im excited for this thing to be low

Funny, at that time i was really searching for a mercedes but fell in love with the e34! Back to the roots now haha

STATIC! STACTIC! STATIC! This thing is mint. You could easily do some light modification to the exterior, lower it on some coils with some big wheels, and make me have a crisis.

Yes! This things gonna be static for sure, firstly as i cant afford bags or even real coils haha

My plan was to go with lowering springs and slightly cutting them but I'm certainly gonna cut the stock springs and buy some other used ones in case i screw the things up to save money

Well, no money for wheels either i'm afraid... the steelies will do for now!
Maybe whitewalls? we'll see...

This thing is sweet. Also cool story to go along with it. Those yellow fogs, are the lenses painted on the inside of the housing? How do they look lit up?

Thanks mate! Fog lenses are painted on the inside i think, here's a view from the day i brought it back home
