Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

[190Evan]

So I got this little old thing today


And whilst driving home saw this clean little G


AND I picked up this beauty as well, God I love a good Reuben


Also, not sure if anyone even cares, BUT I started to make an apple cider beer with some friends and fuck is it good. Super easy and cheap to make, sitting around 9% alc.


Then at the end of the day parked the benz next to this little guy at the workshop and got to work!


More updates coming soon. Car should be running within the next few days. Then lows.

keen to see progress. Can't wait till the day i can pick myself a saloon up

So during this last week the transmission went out on me, just like the last one. Internal clutches were a gonner. So I'm picking one up tomorrow and should have it swapped within a few hours. Then I've got some Bilstein B8's coming and ranger shocks for the rear. I'm on the look right now for some r129 front shock mounts and springs to match. Also I was wondering if anyone on here knows the specs of the w124 rear springs and also if swift makes a set similar to them.

But please keep your promise:

<3 I'll try my hardest, but this one will probably see coilovers, seeing as CATuned just started making them for our cars... . But who knows... and those photos are the ones from my instagram taken on my phone, so that's that.

Love the effort you put into the photos

I'm in. But please keep your promise:

This build won't be as crazy as the last because IMO the w124 chassis deserves better

So you probably remember me from my last w201 build which caught on fire and burnt to the ground, rip.

BUT I recently I picked up a 1992 400e, In Berryl blue . Of course the asshole who sold it to me gave me the whole "It's a Mercedes, it's a masterpiece and was driven with care" shpeel and I didn't give a fack because I wanted it regardless. So it has ben two weeks and I just picked up a new tranny, Engine harness, secondary Air Pump, Intake hoses, and fuel pumps. All of them will be installed by next week hopefully and then the fun stuff shall happen. This build won't be as crazy as the last because IMO the w124 chassis deserves better Its probably just going to see some chrome 17's, bilstein B8's, cut R129 coils (not sure of those work on w124 as well), fabbed headers to a Catless 2.5 inch pipe to a quad exit (still unsure about what I'm going to do with the exhaust tho), and equal negative camber all around. I would love to someday bag this thing but funds aren't agreeing with me at the moment. Sorry for the potato quality and I don't have very may photos weirdly enough but heres a few...

Here's a pic from work


anotha one


This was taken at like 3 am outside of some trap thots house


This was the night I got the car and was peeling off that horrible AAA sticker lmao
