and so what 6 spd manual are you using and what was the process

Thanks man. The 6 spd manual if from a W210 E320 Mercedes. A custom adaptor plate for the bell housing was made, it is designed to fit both m119 and m117 engines.

The manual conversion kit that includes : a flywheel, aluminum adapter plate, clutch disc and pressure plate. 716 gearbox with 716 shifter and a driveshaft that fits the gearbox outlet flange - new slave pump - W126 manual pedal assembly and a w126 reservoir.

I dropped the wheels off today to Love20bee.com
They are getting fully rebuilt and stepped up from 17" to 18".

New size will be:
Front 18x10 with 3" polished lips
Rear 18x13 with 6" polished lips
Face will be powder coated gloss black
And all hardware will be restored

I've had Love20bee build me two (2) sets of wheels, Matt will take care of you.
Great thread and uber cool Koenig from back in the day! I saved the pics.

Thanks for the positive responses to the build guys. I am waiting for the wheels to return from Love20bee so I can get the ride height and fitment of the body perfect and will update with some more photos soon.

Which wide body kit did you get and what are the panels made of? Is there any metal cutting involved especially in the rear fenders?

I would love to know this as well.

Thanks for sharing your progress, OP!

I purchased the kit from PR tuning. It is made of Fiberglass and is very good quality. It is nice and thick, its feels very sturdy and is fitting perfectly. I am very happy with it and I'm sure the finished product once paint will look great.

Watch this video for help with how to fit the rear quarters (4:45min is a good place to start):

Cheers guys

I still have to get the wood refinished and some other finishing touches. I purchased a 90's Mercedes phone that I will install. It won't work as car phones use an old analog signal that modern cell towers don't use anymore... but will look awesome
