I actually like it. The car looks like it has been professionally done and not bodged together.

Aah but we all know that sometimes modding is not always about money or time or sense, it is about the love and enthusiasm of completing a project

Looks not bad in the pics? The rear looks slightly out of proportion to the rest?[too long?]
Would really have to see the car "in the flesh" to make a proper judgement. My own take is that with older mercs originality is everything.
Slight changes to external trim/ lights to later incarnations are acceptable but that's as far as good taste dictates. Suspension tuning/ wheels should extend to emulating/ close approximation to factory optioned sportline equipment.
So thumbs down from me sorry.

It does look a mish mash of old and new. colour coded bodywork, wing mirrors with the indicators and then old black door handles and wheels from a different generation.
I wonder if the parking sensors work - cant be many 1991 cars with those.
I cant work out what sort of buyer it's targetted at.
