[ducatipaso]

the wagon will be in the booth by monday AM

[Mot]

220D wagon?

[SiGmA_X]

Yeah I think so, but am not 100% positive...

[ducatipaso]

no. it's a grey market car. 280TE. DOHC 2.8L inline 6 gasser... 185HP
the only wagon that legally made it stateside was a 300TD

[daniel]

mike, why haven't you shown me this car before?

[ducatipaso]

dude it's been in my garage for 2 years

[daniel]

??? weird. dunno which one. with that said...



S52 swap.

[Mot]

Oh sick, grey market wagon. OEM respray?

[Jand3rson]

Fucking rad. That car would be instant baller status dropped on its nuts.

[ducatipaso]

yes OEM respray. this is a restoration. i *might* score another set of springs and cut em a little bit [rear is hydraulic, i can lower] and roll on some 16s once it's done [for kicks] but the overall goal here is OEM as bought off the lot in Emmendingen, Germany.

car got painted last night

[ducatipaso]

in the booth



sunroof and cowl



gratuitous arse pic



she came out real straight

[42project]

fucking sic man, thats a really really nice color

[ducatipaso]

I went and visited her. She looks better in person than the pictures show. I take better pictures than my painter does. Here's some more. This is fresh paint... no colorsand, no polish. The car will be ready midweek next week.

Oh, and props to DB Custom. A job very well done.







a little imperfect in the license plate pocket... but they're all that way





here's the surface

[daniel]

put some 20's on that thing after the s52 swap.
