New to the Benz's. Love my ride. I'm just starting. I bought it from an auction house. No mtc records, cold a/c, no heat (FL car), new head, tranny leaks a little, Rides nice on the highway, smokes like a bear on start and around town it feels like I'm towing a bus. Thats my ride : )

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm waiting for the weather to brighten and the salt to leave the roads before I use it. A very frustrating couple of weeks, I can tell you.
Do these rims look OK, or should I get back to the original 15 inch?
Previously wearing 215/50R17 Bridgestone ER30 on Lorinser 8Jx17" RS90 ET22, but the ride was rather too harsh for my liking & these Lorinsers are quite heavy. So I went back to the bog standard 15" flat face and then came this set of AMG 7.5Jx16" ET17 with Yokohama ES100 225/55R16.
The ride was improved over the Lorinser, not surprising since the W126 was designed to ride on the 14" rims to begin with.
Heres a couple of pics of my car. 1990 500sec with only 96,000 miles!! Only had the car a few weeks so still a few jobs to do....Im sure Ill have loads of questions to ask!
hmmm....its not letting me upload an image (says internal server error)...Ill try again later!
Just found the site and logged on .Looks great lots of info. Here are a few pics of my new 1987 560 sec. just purchased from original owner 150,000 mi. pristine!!!!
I cant remember if I have posted in this thread or not, but here are some pics I took earlyer today. The cars on axle stands because I'm servicing the diff.
The last picture is of my Taxi which i spend about 55 hours a week driving, I wish I could use a 126 as a taxi
Herewith photos of my 380SE. I picked it up for under $3000 US, with 208000km on the clock. It is mechanically sound, body needs a bit of work. Upholstery beautiful. It is my week-ender and, needless to say, I look forward to Fridays!
