my new daily driver that I quickly built last week - Mercedes content

[vlad]

I picked up this mint 1988 300CE w124 coupe few weeks ago. Not a spec of rust, all service history records since day 1, original window sticker, amazingly maintained ! Car was $53k in 1988 when brand new E30 M3 was $33k ...

when I got it



today



original window sticker



sales brochure





maintenance receipts



so first thing when I got it was the suspension. Bilstein sport shocks with H&R sport springs



difference between stock and H&R



Euro headlights (next to ugly US lights)



next thing was the rims. I found an original set of AMG Monoblocks but they needed work










tires are new 215/45/17










I did a lot of maintenance on the car, full tune-up, replaced front camshaft seals, oil, etc

here is what I got today













comments, suggestions, donations are welcome :up:

Pretty damn sweet daily. Nice.

Nice & clean! One thing I'm not a fan of is the front smoked corner lights. I think those should be clear instead, OR left amber just like the rears.

VERY Nice! but "m3 owned" plate doesnt belong

Absolutely gorgeous!! The only thing that could make it better would be two more doors...exactly where I'm going with my next project. Wheels, suspension, and headlights gave it a completely fresh look! Props.

also i cant believe those are 17s. they look more like 18s and 19s. the car must be nearly e30 sized

I really actually like those corners. They have an interesting color to them. The colormatched wheels look great on it as well.

Tinted tails might be a good match for the front.

Nice. I like the 80's interior color choices!
