A Junkyard Save - 190e content

I love this 190e! Please keep it up, maybe make the doors out of transparent plastic, so that everyone can enjoy the glorious interior

If it had transparent doors how could I drive around with no pants on??

nice man!
but why let the other one rot away?

anywho, i recently bought an 190e 1.8 automatic, 2nd owner, but my plans on it are stalled, need 2 finish my w114 project first!

looking forward what you are going to do with the car in the future!!

The other car was just too far gone, motor needed a full rebuild, cooling system was shot, shock tower was blown out, nothing electrical worked, every bushing was destroyed etc etc... just not worth it. But I saved as much as I could from her and either used it in my current car or sold it.

Wow! That interior and steering wheel look amazing.

If I had that I would go all Asian and cover them with protective plastic covers when I wasn't showing them off.

Man the wheels, interior, stance...everything about this is so on point. Looks Amazing!

17x8.5 et13, they aren't aggressive wheel sizes but the offset is a little low.

Im running fender spacers on mine and I've slightly rolled my fenders, but more roll and spacing will be needed.The offset on the RS's is a tad aggressive for this car at et13

And I prefer manual interior honestly. I swapped the power rear windows for roll ups and put manual seats as well...less to go wrong.

What are the wheel specs?
I'm running 17x9 +2 205/40 and 17x10 ET26 215/40 at the moment.

Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful! The wheels, the interior, the perfectly 90's two-tone exterior. 10/10.

Thank you thank you. Im trying to do everything period correct with as much rare stuff I can get my hands on. There are a few more little bits in store that should really set it all off.

I think I sorted mine out, rolled the fenders and put on fender spacers. Also went from 13mm pads to 21mm pads. Slightly rubs on the driver's side, but hopefully I can sort it out. If you haven't added fender spacers yet, I advise you to do so, they really help.

That red interior is so nice, I'm really jealous that most US-spec W201's come with nearly full extras. Here in Europe it's already hard to find electric windows or an automatic.
