Finally fitted my AMG rims (7J x 15 ET15):

Running on MIT Michelin Energy XM2 205/65/15 rubbers

Truly morphing into a mafia mobile:

Just needs dark window tint and chromed fenders

Cabin is nearly complete. May be just some minor trim changes in the future:

Decided to give the engine bay a good cleaning especially under the air filter housing. This is 24yrs of grime/oil/dirt/grease built-up:

Results using an industrial water-based degreaser, a water hose, paintbrush and toothbrush:

Easier to spot leaks in the future! :)

Hi Roland,

Yea, they sure are purty! :)

Still trying to get a nice sideways shot of the car but weather has been too unpredictable:

Thank you. I am a poor photographer, it's all thanks to the camera, great profile of the car and nice back drop :)

Almost there! I think you could do with a nice simple pair of period matching side skirts, front lip and rear bumper garnish

Sideskirts, front and rear lip starting with A ending with G? ;)

Can't afford them man...too expensive and I like the stock look as it is. Just needs a nice tint and a DIY polish session and she should be fantastic!

Yea, I bet it doesn't come cheap! :)

Reminds a bit of the W123:

Still prefer the stock look, ample light output and spread:

Have not updated this for a long time :D

 

Not much changes to the car except for a diplomatic flag pole installed:

Car is working well mechanically and I recently got the telescopic steering working again (switch contact issue and not steering motor as I originally suspected) plus regained function of the auto pop-up wind deflector on the sunroof.
