New "beater" 190e cosworth

[turbo turkey]

Whats up guys, some of you may know me for my bagged mkv gti. Today I picked up a new project, an 86 190e 2.3 16v Cosworth in pretty decent shape. Needs a bit of work but mechanically its almost perfect. Came with the cosworth evo 2 wheels which I would like to trade for something else. AMG monoblocks or aero i's. Something of that sort. I hear this forum likes cars like this so here it is! First few pics I have, its been raining all day





Also bought this steering wheel from the previous owner

I don't see anything "beater" about that... looks fantastic.

[Khalil]

Nice.
Euro headlights asap.

Thanks guys! The plan is to clean it up, get it resprayed, fix the misc interior pieces that need attention and throw different wheels on it

If you think that's beater, you should see my friends 190e. Not a single seat or window work, no blinkers, a billion dents.


That's a beautiful car.

This thing isn't actually the beater lol

Story behind it is I sold my jeep which was my daily/beater. While searching for a new one I came across this thing and couldn't resit. Now she's mine

Do not and I repeat, do not get rid of those wheels.

I'm beginning to like them. I stumbled upon another cosworth today at Rio and it had the same wheels on it, except with smaller tires than mine. I think I've found the problem; monster truck tires. I'm gonna step them down a size, from 225/45 to 215/45 maybe 40 in the front and from 245/45 to either 235/45 or 225/45 in the rear. That should make me like them a bit more

x2 this!!

i think people would kill for those if they have a cossy and don't have the original wheels wth it..

Nice car !!
