Dash - Looking very nice indeed. Will the car be around when I come to look at the bonnet grille? ;-)

Very nice Dash!

I like the side control panel, was that an option on Recaros or bespoke?

 

[d w124]

All recaro Charles,heated ortho and back movement controlled by the switches

Most high end recaros from mid 80s to mid 90s had these option,some more than others

Well boys:After looking for a clean rustfree w124 e320,i found it very hard to find one with the spec i like.So i bought a w124 with a lovely spec and i`m going to do a full restoration,and full respray.

If you see on the first pictures,that`s how i bought the car.After removing the wings and side skists,i`ve realised that i`ll need more work than expected.Now the whole car i striped as you can see and all the rust gona be sorted,witch is not gona be cheap lol.Many people might call me crazy but each to their own.The car is going throug a full respray and my favorite colour is 040,but all opinions wellcome

.The rear arches i`m gona cut and i`m gona put 500E ones,so that way i can put some 3 piece AMGs.The car is gona have AMG gen2 bodykit witch i already have.It might take a while though till is finished because the man is doing it betwen jobs,but as long as the job is done properly i dont mind.

A great restoration from start to finish 040 black is very nice.
The recaro seats makes the interior special.. Nicely spec'd W1244.
Love those gen 2 AMG kits.. I have a few of those that i need to install someday..

What a cracking looking car! Well done.

Becker stereo now sorted,looks much better

Also changed the front indicators to slightly darker

Nice job Dash . Have you considered re-trimming the wheel to match the seats and gear knob? The lighter leather would show up the walnut better.


Just would be the icing...imho.

I have thought about it to be honest but just scared the interior might look too bright

I might just spray a standard wheel and put it there to give me an idea since the wood&leather steering wheels are thin to the ground now

Looking very nice Dash!
