    GET READY FOR AN ACTION PACKED UPDATE WITH ACTUAL PROGRESS!

    Kind of.

    Anyways I've been super hecka busy recently but I'm recently unemployed so that gives me time to update this junk.

    Okay so this winter some stuff happened, put the stock wheels with winters back on (no picture needed, looks like a stock 190e) and drove the piss out of it drifting everywhere and bouncing off snowbanks.

    SUPER NOT RAD DRIFT DAMAGE WALLL TAP BROOOO


    Then I replaced my water pump on the M103, which was a really fun job. (it was not a fun job)




    Drifted around with my friends and did doughnuts and shit.



    Hauled a toolbox for my friend from Home Depot cos neither of us own a truck. Everyone thought we were dumb.



    The tailights on this car had been fucked ever since I got it.



    So I got a minty set from a thrashed 190D in a Pick & Pull and painted them all red. Turned out goood.



    YES I KNOW THESE PICTURES ARE FUCKING QUALITY

    Got clears


    Replaced the shitty blown rear shocks with Ford Ranger front shocks. Like you do..


    And cut a coil off the rear springs as well because 4in drop is not enough!


    Got a boss from Ebay and put in the Nardi from my E24



    For whatever reason the horn button has never fit with whatever adapter I have with this fucking wheel. So if I ever get angry at fools in traffic I have to connect those two little fucking wires together in a fit of rage. By that time whoever I'm angry at has already barrel-rolled into the nearest building so I never get the chance to honk at them. It;s stressful man.

    So I also had one of my friends who runs a local rally club here invite me out one sunday to go ice racing.

    It was just a lapping day, so no actual racing, but holy shitballs was it a good time!

    GRATUITOUS DRIFTING PICTURES









    That's all for now you dirty little shits. I have lots more (stance related) progress to post But I kind of want to get some decent pictures before I post more. That's how much I love you all.

    I'll post soon!

        I'm sorry sir but no matter how hard you try you will never be able to be a Canadian with that attitude.

                        Okay you bunch of greasy fuckwaffles, I actually decided to update this shit!

                        We will resume from where we left off in the pursuit of low. Which was fitting the Ford Ranger shocks on the rear on the Merc. This successfully lowered it by about 4 inches or so in the back, but that also meant the big, wide summer wheels wouldn't fit anymore with the stock camber.

                        SO I DID A THING


                        SUPER RAD CAMBER ARMS
                        INSTALLED



                        The butt end was sorted then, for the front I just cut the damn springs for the time being. And yeah I bought one of those Mercedes Coil compressors to do it cos I'm safe as fuck!
                        I keep telling myself it's temporary but I haven't thought of any decent alternatives yet.


                        Because Canada ^



                        Digging how it looks now, I just need to make the fitment match. COS THAT SHIT BUGS ME. Car sits perfectly level but the fitment isn't the same at all. Also in case you didn't notice I got a new grille and basically repaired all the damage made by being backed into.



                        So we'll see what happens with that. Might do Billi B8's to drop the front a bit or something, we'll see. Would be doing that a lot sooner but the 2.6 has decided it didn't need it's headgasket. I already bought a new engine with a rebuilt gearbox so I just need to throw that shit in.

                        UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE HERE ARE SOME RANDOM SHOTS
