Alright, Most of it is in black - just gotta redo a few panels I royaly screwed up. Been buffing my little heart away.

Not much else has been going on with it, just gotta get the bushings for the transmission, new window rubbers to get it back on the road and driving

Nice! how did you paint it? With a gun? Outside or in a booth? panel by panel or whole car in one time?

just asking because I will have to do it too :-)

Been looking at the Euro Lights and not sure if i love them or dislike them (wow can't say h.8?!). Going to grab a set when its back all togeather and see if i dig them or not.

Decided to throw smaller profile tires on the current wheels, polish them up and take off the center caps. They are really growing on me.





Didn't even take a week for me to tear it down, hammer out some of the dents and get her in primer. - So much for a slow project.
As long as everyhting goes alright, It will be on it's way to the booth this weekend so i can shoot the black. I was suprised how straight and no filler was in this car. The fun bit is blocking it all back *Yawn*

Euro headlights (inside plastic pained dark gray) and the dark gray painted grill are the best, easiest visual mods for W123s.

I think the Centra wheels could look good if they were polished and the car was slammed.

Sup SW,
Just picked up a '77 Auto W123 250 Merc for my girl - three owner, First owner elderly, second a Cop and third elderly again. So far in good condition. Not bad for a 1k price tag.






Plan is to do a bit of rust repair (Barely any) spray it black, chrome the fk out of the trims and drop it by 50mm on 16" rims.

Coming from the Aircooled VW world so I’m looking forward to the challenge. Quite a few "the hell is that?" moments already.


First day back at mine and i start blacking out the grille - Gonna try and make it look as sleek as possible.


Picking up some replacement rear springs and struts this weekend that are in better condition for the roadworthy so it can get on the road ASAP it will be time to get it dropped and on the 16" - Still trying to persuade my girl that it needs gold rims.
