Just browsed all the 84 pages. Took 4hrs or so
Some cars are really nice.
Heres mine, when I bought it
It's 2litre 90kW, built 84'
Here is a fresh pic. Took it before beginning to transport parts to another garage. Got more than needed - 10 doors, 3 trunk lids, 3 sets of lights etc. Paid approx. 300$ (4000EEK) for car and all the parts.
Planned mods:
1. Restore the body and paint it black (originally was white)
2. Install 3litre M103 (3.2 M104 out of my budget and a hassle with the electronics) and keep the automatic gearbox.
3. Bigger brakes and calipers
4. 18" inch wheels from S600 W140, maybe chrome them.
5. Avantgarde grill (with 6 horizontal ribs, not 5)
6. 90's style cladding (?), maybe put an AMG lip on the trunk lid to get some more decorous and streamlined look and compliment it with modifing the front bumper a bit. Certainly no EVO-like bodykit. Its a dailydriver, not a race car.
7. Xenon lights would be nice. Probably have to add wipers and invent some automatic height-adjustment system for the headlights just to stay legal.
8. Smoked blinkers all around.
9. Mild silvertint on the windows, W140-like.
10. White leather interior with rosewood or alike dash trim kit to give it more luxorious look, steeringwheel also from a W140 with wood imitation. Chrome rings and red/blue color scheme on the instrument panel. Stainless steel illuminated door sills. No power seats dough - overbudget.
11. Buy or fabricate power window and both rearview power mirror mechanisms.
12. Add air con. and Tempomat.
13. Because of being inspired by W140, rename the car Mini-Me
Should become a decent looking car when managed to complete it all. Happy when finished with all the modding in jan. 2009. DYI'ing as much as possible.
