Alright,
after owning my 190 for a year now thought id better pull my finger out and get something down.
So had a completely seperate project on the go and we saw a nice looking (but unloved) 190E 2.6 Sportline on ebay locally with a starting bid of 400 quid. I was umming and arring whether to bid just to break for the exhaust, shocks and springs. As it turned out i didnt bother and Dash bidded instead and won as the only bidder. So before he went to collect it we decided to go halves. After we collected it turned out to be a quite nice car under the grime so we thought sod it lets get it mot'd before we break it. It ended up going through the mot without spending a penny on it. So i decided to keep it and improve it a bit. With my other project dumped and dash bought out i could concentrate on sorting it out.
So what the car looked like originally, proper full sportline spec, including proper full humpy recaros front and rear, zender spoiler, remus exhaust and 16 style 2 reps
Humpy Cloth Recaros, funnily enough although they are the same front and rear as the 16v leather seats they are just so much more comfy than them
Tidy interior
So that was the car as i bought it, a bit rough round the edges but potentially something special but didnt stay like that for long ...
Its progress to follow
Excuse my crappy pic taking !!!
