Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

[loekaaz]

Is not done?

"Euro guys joke".

This

Must be an UK-English saying then, since you're not familiar with it -->

'Not done' as in 'Not acceptable'

[Laef]

But I can Imagine that a car without any cupholders in the States is NOT DONE

"Euro guys joke".

Haha but seriously I like where this is going man!

326 power wing could look good I think. Similar-ish looking wings have been fitted in the 80's. I think Zender had a small version of that.
In combo with the AMG kit, it should look rad

And about the center console: I just have a piece of carpet there. But I can Imagine that a car without any cupholders in the States is NOT DONE

If you are going to run bags and want to be fully dumped the. The r129 strut mounts are perfect. If you are going static then you better make sure you have stiff ass springs Hahaha
Tommk car reminds me of storm troopers Hahha.wish I had the time, money and skills to accomplish all that

It does look like a storm trooper I was thinking the same thing!

[chompsticks]

Nah never installed them, the 400e springs are already stiffer than stock w124 springs so I just cut them to size and ran them but now I'm going to be welding in rear adjustable coil over sleeves and running a 6k swift spring I believe. No longer going with the r129 mount after hearing that and Im going to bite the bullet on the e36 coilover with camber plate set up like I ran before. Also Im looking into 326 power for wings similar to the one Tommk1 is running.

Did you ever install r129 springs? I wasn't sure if those would work or would provide enough stiffness. R129 strut mounts are magical.. Lol I have a set that I installed and then removed because it gave me way too much travel and I rubbed the crap out of everything.

If you do a wing, you should do a ducktail.

Ok maybe the Evo 2 thing wasnt such a great idea haha i totally forgot what the W124 looks like with that rice kit.........ANYWAY i was thinking of starting a W124 coupe E500 thingy with maybe an ls engine or seeing if i can frankestein a 6.3 amg motor in there with the 7g tranny. Nice progress on the bulid BTW but it time to loose the stock wheels the kinda ugly

Scroll up and you'll see that I am ditching them within this week

Update on the cupholders! Got the 1st unpainted prototype out! I just need to mess with the dimensions and figure out why the amg emblem didn't cut :/

Our epilog Laser cutter

Help up with tape hahahaha but you get the idea ,as of now the holes are too large and the whole thing itself is too tall, Dimensions got messed up in Ai.

[190Evan]

Just a photo at the bank to keep this build to date...

Also I will be making some wood cupholder inserts that are stained to match the wood in placer of the little center console that I ****, If anyones interested after I get a few prototypes made I'll ship them for hella cheap. Right here

A sun-beaten Z8????? Damn.

Yeah....I don't know if they all were Alpina's but this one was and it was absolutely ruined, the owner always comes by the shop to get shit fixed, he breaks the thing weekly.

[charleliso]

do what you like man!
