HoodRatStatus Goes classy....

Did it come with other wheels? Because you said it came with AMG wheels, and those wheels in the pictures are just base wheels off a W140 S class (non AMG). Either way nice pickup, the paint on it looks actually glossy, it's been really taken care of if it's the factory color

actually, this decision is hardcore.

stop looking at it as a civic when its more his personality than it is a honda. & nothing has been destroyed. instead, he's experimented with all of his ideas at different times on that hatchy, instead of looking to see what everyone else was doing before he took chances on his own chassis. something we should all respect.

I say the chrome fender flares fit that car rather well & are totally period correct for an 80's pimp. I'm shocked it's retained the hood ornament & would love to see it dropped on it's nuts after winter.

Thanks for taking the words out of my mouth Miles.

Leave those fender bits on there man! This is going to be good!

those chrome things on the fenders just look retarded.

but it'll be interesting to see what you do to it...

This. Deff late model W140 wheels not AMGs. Nice score though always liked the old W126's.

The condition of the paint is amazing. I was actually looking at 300SDs before I picked up my 300SE, and I'm amazed that you found one of these in such good condition.

You probably should consider checking out what's underneath those chrome fender trims though. If it's not rusted away yet, then you should take off the trim before the fender does rust. If it's rusted already, by all means leave the trim on!

lowered the front today took 4 coils out and had to do a good roll, no rust underneath the trim, i took it off to roll the fronts.... still rides like a dream...

the wheels are actually r0nals as stated on the inner face, also looked at them today haha
specs are 16x7.5 et 61 hahaha wrapped in 215 60 16s needs slighly smaller tire she rubs bad

and its a w123 im pretty sure not a w126 the headlights were changed so they look similatr, i could be wrong but when i typed in my year and model on google w123 came up multiple times

and what aero?????????? lemme see

p.s. thanks miles <3
your and my new slogan

[FittedDownLow]

and daily a civic that drags on flat ground, with negative 10 degrees of camber, no interior, no heat, blower motor or defrost, no carpet or interior and a year out of inspection

OR....

daily a mercedes benz with power everything, heat, defrost, heated brown leather, a back seat, a huge trunk, not to mention more the 1 speaker and actually has suspension travel....

dont get me wrong i love my civic like any guy loves his pride and joy between his legs but if you pick the civic to dailey over a benz..... you might want to go get checked for some kind of serious mental retardation.....

Can't wait brother.

It's a W126, no doubt about it. You probably kept typing in 300D instead of 300SD. Taking 4 coils out seems extreme. I'm pretty sure the springs on these are progressive too.

How's the ride with 4 coils missing?

[FittedDownLow]

honestly like it did before i took them out and thats with all the wait on the front too.... haha
lowering rear tonight and thanks maybe i did type 300d haha this whole mercedes thing is REAL new for me

[sixonefive]

cant wait to see progress on this thing...post up some updated pics with the coils cut!!

That's surprising, considering how heavy these cars are. What's the mileage on your example?

Looking forward to seeing those pics.

[FittedDownLow]

[Concerned_Neighbor]
