perfectly restored - mercedes 500 sec koenig 1986 wide bodykit

[500koenig]

Hi guys im new to the forum.

just thought i would share my mercedes 500 sec koenig that i have had for over 20 years. it was in need of some major restoration internally and externally. origanally it was blue in colour with cream leather with the koenig wide bodykit on when i got it but over the years it started rusting really bad, the bodykit and fibreglass was sinking, the leather interior was cracking and losing its colour, it was basically falling to peices. i was emotionally attached to it so i wanted to bring it back to life with a modern look

. EnKahnz vehicle body specialist in bradford www.enkahnz.co.uk restored it for me. . after a consultation with the enkahnz design team i agreed to go ahead with the change. alot of hard work and time went into it but the end result was a masterpiece. they painted the car in pearl white with red leather interior specially imported from italy. tv screens, pioneer sound system,reverse camera, quad exhaust. the mods are to much to list. you can view the finished car by clicking on the youtube link. the video was done by enkahnz. but i have the before and after pics which i will post.. i have been approached by two mercedes magazines for a feature which im looking foward to. so keep an eye out.

hope you like..

Hi, great car!!

Did you ever post the before and after pics?

And was there the magazine review?

Kind regards

[ihandyman]

nice one

Well, the car is certainly different and I suppose appeals to some (many?), but the video is just revolting! Everything about it is like a training material for "how to make crappy movies" course. Is there a single [cheap and nasty] video effect they didn't use? I'm sure the sound is equally great (muted it after 20sec).


I'll get my coat ...

What a stunning piece of Mercedes tuning history. I absolutely adore these wild Mercs.

A credit to you for taking the time to bring her back to her former glory.

And it's good to see you've already had credit from the likes of Mercedes Enthusiast. I read that article with interest
