Just a simple 84' W126..

[Twannnd]

Hello boys and girls,

Just wanted to show you my Mercedes w126 from 84'.It isnt finished but how it sits on the pictures will do it for me for the coming months. I've bought the car 4 months ago Atfer selling my Volkswagen Jetta mk1. Since i've got it i changed the following things:

-Cutted springs
-Brock B1 17 inch 8,5j and 10j
-Windows tinted a bit
-some audio
-dark headlights
-and a lot of small things

My winterwheels a Black/silver Amg Penta 16 inch 8j.

My plans after winter:

-Cut some more springs
-More rear camber
-Smaller front tires
-Roll the wheelarches
-Rvs Exaustsystem
-maybe a SEC front bumper

this is how the car was when i bought it:



and now:







and my old Jetta:



you like?

too much meat on the tires and maybe u should go wider :/

[superturbodiesel.com]

In my opinion looks very good! Great

[lolwtfomgbbq]

I like, hows the ride on chopped springs and how much did you cut?

[AMGwheelwhore]

Brock's just don't look right on there...

[Rocambolesque]

Personally I like the Brocks

[Twannnd]

Thnx everyone! i just like the brock but during winter i'm gonna look for some wide 18'


Ridin on chopped springs isnt great but i will do for now. I've cut in the front 8cm and in the back 6cm

those wheels are fancy pants

polishing the lip for my forthcoming summerwheels! BBS RC 090 and 039.(8J and 9J)
they will be redrilled to 5x112.


when i bought them:


after 30 hours of grinding, grinding and polishing 1 lip finished.




Does anyone have an idea which colour i should make the centers?

Looks good, but from what I can tell there isn't a camber kit for these cars, the camber you get is natural as the car comes closer to the ground. Look into a set of H&Rs, or AMG springs, a lot of the guys seem to like the Bilstien HD shock/struts too.

She a 500SE? Nice to see another Gen 1 Euro. I really like the wheels, I'm trying to find a set I like more than the Pentas I have.

centers should be body color

hand polising ? man those wheels are beat up but will look great once finished. in for more spring cuttage ! llol

[lewda]

damn, this W126 is sick nasty, i love the W126 body style. Are those BMW wheels? **** to sound stupid, but how do you redrill them to be 5x112?

Yes its a 500SE type 1, i've had the penta's as my winterwheels but sold them a week ago. Its hard to find wheels for a W126 but with this wheels i hope the combo will be epic. Really like your project to!

centers should be body color

Yes i'm thinking of colouring the centers the same colour as my bumpers.

Yes hand polishing! it isnt low enough!

There is enough space in de centers to redrill them to 5x112 so no problems with that.

Since 1 week i have Bi-xenon , how nice
