[liiive_o]

lol funny you mention him...his name is patrick, he's been working with the garage owner for over 15 years and he is somewhat of a bodywork expert to him,nothing is hard,nothing is impossible...until it comes to stuff like kitting up cars. Ive seen him fix cars that are not even good enough for scrapyards never judge a book by its cover my friend,read the content first.

That maybe but he still looks certifyable.

 

[liiive_o]

i know,he does look like a clown and a bit ghetto,and you should hear him speak!

i showed the pics to my daughters mother & 2 mates and said "what do you think to that car"

they all said "thats your old car"

swines

none said how they knew

i told them of your plans and my mates said it should look good

i said you said you will bring it over when its done

im excited for you

Nice project! I wish I had a E320TT at some point.

Maybe I should take my dads E280, fix or replace the engine, drop it on some 18" AMG's, replace the front rusty arches and a coupe of other minor jobs and it'll be beautiful!

Hello


Getting there slowly but surely, what size wheels are they? are you keeping them or going slightly bigger as the kit imho will make the bottom look 'heavy' so would think a slightly bigger wheel would suit?

 

[liiive_o]

I have 18's on it at the moment and can't really go any bigger as that would really affect my performance,i've been told to go back to 17's actually!

 

[liiive_o]

right..

Sideskirts have been permanently fitted now, struggling with back bumper a bit because of the exhaust pipes and the space i have on the bumper...we will see what happens. Heres more boring pics for you guys hopefully this week will bring more progress im sure!

looking good... cant wait to see it done.

yep looks good... many people dont like the Wald kits but I think it suits the W124 just right... The W126 ones are really bad.. too curvy for the lines..

 

[Ade B]

Stupid question, but do the side skirts mean the jacking points are no longer accessible?

I'm not a fan of body kits but I'm intrigued by these threads - at least the TT has some performance to match

What do people think of the Wald kit for a saloon?

 

[Vlad]

I quite like the Wald bodykits...here's a link and it shows a saloon with the kit fitted

Ade B, good question actually, i havent thought about that, i will check with the bodyshop guys tomorrow..

The Wald bodykits look real nice, only problem though is they are fibreglass.

 

[liiive_o]

yea they get damaged really easy unlike the AMG's..but i think if its taken care of,its fine

 

[liiive_o]

heres some pictures from earlier this week...ready for paint

 

[liiive_o]

and now,its finally done...but i didnt't get a chance to take more pics,will pick it up tomorrow when they finish off everything and polish it. heres 1 pic to get an idea...(no fog lights fitted just yet)

 

[jaymanek]

[Mudster]

Ha! You getting the idea someone should be telling their bodyshop to pull their finger out...
