wow this makes me want to go out and grab a used 300e, when done up correctly, this particular model seems to never get old. [img]http://autoshow.permaisuri.com/Content/viewimage.asp?AutoID=20060819221234&Filename=116464.jpg[/img]
1 picture? it looks nice. IMO. it would look better with chrome window trimming
still browsing indo's web huh?see the wald CLS??hehe [url]http://autoshow.permaisuri.com/Content/Autoshow.asp?AutoID=20060820215043[/url] this one really makes me droll.... :o :o
Love the car, hate the wheels (the one Carlsson posted) Same for the Wald CLS..
hmm...hate iforged aey? :o
I've got nothing personal agains iForged, I just didn't like those particular models. iForged Illusion is pretty nice
i like it, nice lines, clean and very classy...
wald w124s on works and lower are better :knuppel2:
honestly guys, i have always liked the old school mercedes cars alot more than the new ones...I would easily take a hard ass fixed up old school 500E that looks like that black one below over a new mercedes...The older cars have more "soul", where as the newer cars just look like everything else.

[/quote] your statement is very true, as much as I love the reliability and design of japanese luxury cars. mercedes really set the stage for japanese luxury sedans and that is a fact. the 300e set it off in a big way.

[quote=CarlssonRL ] nice. this is a real bold statement your making. I can't wait till it is finished. you run a bodyshop ? [/quote] i wish i ran a body shop. im a banker :-\ its bold within reason. i wanted something different and something that would make a challenge for me. the wrx i use to have made things far too easy as far as modding goes and same goes for my hondas. as i started researching vip styling i had my eyes set on a 98-99 ls400 but parts are too accessible that it doesnt make it too fun for me. i like custom fabbing things and pushing the envelope. the w124 is a great car to do so. basically my idea, like many, is wide and low. wald cleans up the body lines and the black paint will always look wet. hopefully i can get some coverage. its definitely going to be japanese inspired but at the same time keep that european class. all i need is time. i dont like being too impulsive on my purchases. the car is done. once it comes out im going to work on a e420 motor with a custom single turbo kit from st00pidfast here in houston. but thats in due time.
hot project, cant wait to see the finished product

badass. There is a guy local to me that has a 190 of the same era. Lots of stuff on it, its a classy looking car for sure.
