[190Evan]

I liked the driveway shot with less camber more....




Oh and; you *sshole! I can see you have the front wheels mounted on the last pic!

SHOW
US
MORE!!

Go to page 4 lol, I posted pics with the fronts mounted, I'll take some more tomorrow though I am intoxicated at the moment.

Damn Evan, those new tails really make your paint look like shit haha *kiss

Haha! I know I love the tails but they really bring out the shit-shine of my peeling clearcoat. Still don't know what I'm going to do about paint, possibly a wrap but I don't know yet.

So, I'm going to be honest. I love this car. Besides a few small running issues this thing has proven to be one of the best and most fun cars I have ever driven, and now with the wheels on and riding low static I couldn't be happier. Not a big update just handful of pictures of the benz and I got to hit switches in an old '63 which was rad.



I need to get that fender closer to the lip in the front, it's bothering me like crazy...



My friend got himself a little twin turbo s4, thing is so rad and sounds so good. Colorful boys :roll eyes



aaaaaaaaand then this happened. I got to jump this thing around which was super rad.






Here's a shitty photo but shows the camber well



fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu



and that's it for now, still waiting for my front coils and some wiring components and this thing will be coming close to perfect. I also got a friend who said he could wrap my car for fairly cheap so I thinking gloss black to match my last benz or maroon...

[chompsticks]

looking pretty sweet, just gotta get the front lower or cambered to match the rear

Your headlights are sagging.

Fix them with a pair of these:

In all of the benz I've ever had those have been removed! I didn't even know they existed. I wonder why I've never had them, Are they OEM? and do they just hold onto the radiator support?

Yes. See upper arrow in pic. below.



The rest of the arrows are the other mounting points for the headlights.
Especially the white arrow on the left, which is just a screw and basically should act like a pivoting point for the headlight unit adjustment. Not the beam, just the whole unit.
I think that screw is also missing on both sides of your car. Good luck pal

niceeeeeee!!!!

yes just make the front a bit Lower and it will be Perfect imo.

[W124_Starship]

It coming along nice but i would love less camber

[190Evan]

So nothing has been going on recently because of funds but I should be getting some goodies this week, Here's some photos I took at a local heli pad and some random shots as well.











This is funny.







Another reason for no new parts, I got a lady!



Here's Leeroc, Datmungo, and I at the UCI Meet last week. Love his bagged w124



Till next time people, gotta get this thing running properly before I lower the front ;(

[190Evan]

Aye! someone decided to take some nice photos of my car at Car's and Coffee Aliso Viejo!
Look at that headlight lean!



This weather has been killing me, haven't been able to wash my car in a few weeks and its filthy, at least it made for a cool shot...



Promise I'll get that front lower soon!

I did not notice it before, even when Mr Grumpy pointed it but now I see it.. Indeed your headlights have more camber than your rear tires haha
