What's up guys ?

Remember me from the (unfinished) E34 build ?



Well, sold it and i'm back with a big, cheap, short wheeled base, v8 powered benzo

You know it i'm talking about my '86 W126 420 SE, mafia status benz in all its glory haha

Was originally a french car (notice the yellow fogs) but it spent the late 80's in Gabon, Africa.

Then it was shipped back to France in '93 when the first owner "committed suicide" after he slept with Bongo's wife (yeah, Bongo, the pseudo president of Gabon back then)


Ok back to business.
This is gonna be a SLOW build (again i know but u gotta forgive me) since I got practically no money left from the bimmer sell... BUT i'm not giving up, and my plans for this thing are :

"Realistically", it needs some love but it's a good base imo!

- HR's springs (1 or 2 coils off)
- Staggered wheels, 17 or 18", nothing too fancy but was thinking of some rc's...
- Exhaust ! Kidney mufflers off or glasspack? yeah idk what to choose haha
- ... Suggestions ?















And yes, "8" cylinders this time
