I'm new here too! First ever post, got myself a 1990 190E 2.0 auto at the weekend for £1,000. Its got a few niggles but overall its just a testimatent to how solid these old cars are.
yours has lots of potential, big "ouch" to that roof damage though, but it looks a good model to modify.
definately get euro lights, before I came on here I didn't realise that the US had to put up with such strange lights, they really don't look right IMO.
