[d w124]

Are you going to drop it a bit once the AMG lump goes in ? looks high at the front ?

Don`t know,with all this bumps around London.We`ll see

Looking sharp mate, can't wait to see it in the flesh!

 

[aircut666]

Dash I made the choice of going for a car that had been 'done' already, but am starting to discover things I didn't want to discover!! Dang!!! Probably should've gone for a restoration job from scratch!

I spent a good few hours cleaning the car over the weekend and noticed a bit of rust under some of the arches - seeing as we are close by, maybe I can swing by your way and we can discuss!

Your car looks very nice by the way - great job.

Thats looking beautiful dash! really has come out amazing. The wheels look great on that, now I have to get mine refurbished too at some point . Keep a look out for an AMG rear box, im sure you'll find one as that will complete the look.

By the way, now that your wife has seen it...I have a spare room in my house for you!

Maybe when she hears about the engine,I might take your offer on that

If I`m honest mate,i really like the Remus one

Just tell her you've taken the engine out for a bit of a spring clean and are just putting it back in.

Very nice car and black suits it. Not a great color down under though, as it gets around 40C in the summer months.

Speaking of my E55, the new owner took it to Santa Pod couple of weeks ago he said he recorded 1/4 mile in 14 secs @ 105mph (not sure if that is a good time for the car).

I do miss the car, will have to get some more AMG or M power very soon.

LOL - I had to read that again to realise what you did...!!!

Ah Dash, your new baby looks sweet! Is the ride height original? Also is the paint metallic or solid?

The evo wheels really set it off, and fitted with the 3.6, it'll be a proper autobahn-stormer!

May I direct you to a post you made at the beginning of this thread?

... in the end,i`ll have the w124 i always wanted

I think that's what it's all been about. Good stuff, hope the engine conversion goes smoothly.

Thnx Mate
The height is sportline but I`ve the thick spring pads as I`m scared to lower it
The paint is 040 black and is non metalic,is like gloss black.I`ve always loved the colour
