Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

[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.

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!

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

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

'Not done' as in 'Not acceptable'

Oh lmao never heard it before haha, but yeah its very annoying specially because I also have no glove box so there's little to no storages in the cabin.

Glove box works well enough for "one" cup... hahaha

I don't know if you mean the center console because w124's don't have glove boxes haha. This car is like naked.

Got some work done! At least some small things haha. Well as for those cupholders, I fixed a lot of flaws and added a little emblem Fitment still needs work though.

Some little things also came in the mail, Im PRAYING that these will clear the inner radius of my brakes, the last set I bought from this company didn't clear but these brakes are bigger than the w201's as far as I know...

I also got back into the shop and started designing again, cut up some acrylic today and it came out alright! But the fitment was horrible and I trashed it.

ALSO I am now in the market for one of these euro w124 car phones and all of the knowledge that comes with installing these haha! Let me know if anyone knows where I can get one...

Wheels will be test fitted tomorrow and maybe even camber arms installed if I decide to go for it. Also I anyone knows where I can get a set of either Ground Control or Yellow Speed Racing rear adjustable coil sleeves that bolt into the control arm, I WILL BUY THEM. So let me know if there's any leads as well, trying to steer away from welding on coilover sleeves from a honda. I will be running a 2x6x40K spring and need an adjuster to accompany it.

No. W124 do have a glove box, as long as the 1st owner didn't opt. for the passenger airbag back then

Like mine, which is an '86 MOPF0 model, didn't come with airbags. So I have a glove box.

Yours is a US-spec (so always fully packed, you spoiled brats) so it has a passenger airbag in place of the glove box.

Yeah I absolutely **** not having a glove box... I do have airbags, but because of the new steering wheel I installed, I only have them on the passenger side as of now.

Ever thought about doing this, Jimbo?

Really against the fake carbon look and I want more wood in my merc! Also I like the flush look that the one I designed has, Mine center console thing was also beat up and I would have had to have gotten a new one just to make a cupholder thing to fit in

[loekaaz]

Understood. Good luck!
