is all OK? Has it had a crump?

Honest John at DT swears by W123s!

This is a 124 !

When you getting the rims on the car want to see it, defo get a coil off the rear

The new 335 looks nice but im more interested in the merc lol

I need to split them and get them refurbished. Can't decide which way to go with them. Thinking original finish meh.

I also need a set of wobble bolts.

Yea it's a 124, citizen Khan has a 123.

I reckon keep them original, silver centers polished lip, simple and clean plus its in keeping with the chrome accents on the car

Must admit i prefer the older mercs with the upright headlights more but i used to get a lift every so often from school by a loaded mates mum, (these were expensive cars new after all) she had a convertible one of these in the same colour combo and i have a soft spot for them

cheers si, i have always loved these as a kid , love this shape of merc witht he square styling, the later ones with the twin lights never really liked and the new new ones all look a bit chintzy, but they are all good cars.

only really driven mine a hand full of times, you really appreciate the wafting and comical acceleration (for what it is) when you engage the kickdown. i genuinely like my merc, but my e21 track monster is going to need even more funds then i imagined so i will have to sell this beauty at one point.

Still though the fun is always in the building and shiny stuff is awesome.

I have finally got the rims refurbished and all that's left to do is basically put the bolts in.

Firstly had to get them blasted off and i got them to repolish the rims as they all had scratches and marks.



bare alloy and polish lips looks so awesome,




id have just clear coated them but as i want some longevity that wasnt really an option. So I took the rims over to Mals customs to get sprayed in a decent colour. i spent literally minutes with a whole bunch of paint chips and settled on a very light mercedes gold, but mal didnt like it so he added a bit more silver in and I'm absolutely chuffed with the finish and colour..





just waiting till the end of the month now for some tyres, I'm a little worried that such a big car will look right on 17s but then again I'm not after a gangster pimp look just oem+ i think it will be sufficient.

Shiny stuff!

Bling bling!

are you sure of that door panel gap? nO CRUMPS?

Sorry Yes Mobster I meant W124!!

[quote="nas80"]I






Panel gap- think I have correct photo this time! Yes sorry I W124 (as well)

ohhh... that plastic panel bit is missing a clip on the end, so it does stick out a bit, I need to get round to that.

Rims are done and on the car

Mafia car

Its more like a distinguished gentleman express

Definitely a blinged pimp mobile with those wheels!
