'86 Mercedes-Benz W124 260E

[loekaaz]

Time to post some pics after 6 weeks of waiting... My beloved Benz had taken some injuries after a 79-year-old woman hit me from the right with a Matiz.. Luckily for me, it was her fault.
So after I received a nice amount of money from the insurance, I built her up again and took my chance to look at some rust issues. I'm not a great painter, so I let a professional do that for me :-)
It has been lowered for 40mm's, But it can clearly drop an ich or two... that will come....

so here are some Blackberry pics:

Frontlip is a stock bumperpiece (the ABS-plastic thing), cut in half, and mated to the bottom of the frontbumper with pop rivets. Pretty easy to DIY actually ..


#Update:

Benz is at sub-wintermode now. Its rolling on stock 16x7,5 500E-wheels. These will be the new winterbeaters, as the Monoblocks will be kept away from the salt and icey stuff

Since its actually far from stance-worthy I have been lolling around with MSpaint (no adobePS lol) and came up with the next funky thing:

I think I've set my new goal....LOL





NASCAR-Style YO!

But, I maed diz:

AMG/Brabus-style muffler




Test-fitted to my new 300E sportline parts car. Its in pretty good nick. Swapped the black leather interior already from that. Engine will be next after I rebuild it. 166 Bhp is just not enough for 1500 kg's...

Like a very very wise man once said:




Or should I post this in a Build-thread?
I probably should....
