That looks familiar, you are using the exact same seats as I...

The Recaro Ideal-C's are a wonderfully comfortable and supportive seat that I've enjoyed in the coupe for years now. I appreciate them so much so that each of my three MB's have a set.

"Once you go Recaro, you'll never go back to regularo…"

They are great seats... The later Classics are also very nice, I have them in the 500E.
I may put a set in my other SEC but I think the standard ortho seats are very comfortable as they are.

Coming down the home stretch. I finished the dash swap and installed a set of restored dash wood with period Alpine. The Recaros and headliner are back from the trimmers and installed. Just waiting on the rear seats and parcel shelf. I can see the light!

Absolutely riveting.
I honestly admire the time and care you have donated to her.
I only wish I had those qualities too.
I would have been throwing hammers at it after the first sign of trouble lol.

Very nice job :0)

A short video would not go amiss when totally completed. I love to see it in action.

Just read the whole thread.

I wish that car was in the UK so I could make you an offer to buy it.

Those seats look awesome and love the wide arches

 

[48hp]

Thank you gentlemen. Your support is greatly appreciated!

I'll take a little breather and enjoy the coupe for a bit while I gather my nuts for some other get up and go goodness.

 

[Sickpuppy e220]

Hmmmm
I wonder what your planning that can possibly top this.

Perhaps a full rework on an old classic e220 saloon perhaps :0)
Fancy a holiday? Lol.

Enjoy your break. Some may even say you have earned it.
