Project MB 190e

With the Mk1 gone a few months back to pay for a kitchen extension!!!, I had to get something to tinker with.

Mk1 and mk2 prices have crept up and are out of reach for me for a while.

So I looked at alternatives and wanted something I could cruise about in, old and German.

So I bought this…

The plan is to lower it and stick some nice oem style or split rims.

Congrats on the new tinker-toy. Very clean (and seemingly stock) W201!
Looking forward to updates on this for sure.  

Very nice.

Gotta love an old barge.

Looks great, love these Mercs

The cars been in storage and I haven’t seen it for two months!

My garage is full of furniture whilst we finish off the house renovations.

In the meanwhile I bought some alloys off an S Class. They are originally from
The SL convertible…


The tyres were huge and I could see the potential so changed the tyres and they look loads better already!!


Before



Nice profile!


After

Next stop is to lower the Merc and bring it home!

I was wondering where you going with it. I had a feeling it wouldn't be left 'stock'

Nice motor Faz, I do like a big barge!

Hello

It's been a while. So I suspect you're all getting ready for the AGM in the summer. In the meanwhile I've been working on the Merc

It's been lowered, had a quick going over with a DA and a wash. Oh and a new steering ….

It's ready to cruise about now!!

Looking good, amazing what a good polish does innit?

Like the wheels, never ween them before.

I'm also hunting for a retro merc. Looking a 560 SEL's at the moment. Trying to convince myself that 15mpg is acceptable
