New to VSC! couple pics of my car(s)

hey guys. so I'm John from NH.

been a lurker on here for a while now. I figured I'd post a few photos of my current and previous projects to get an idea where I'm coming from...
I know neither car is "VIP", but I might be picking up an xf10 ls400 in a few days for a daily... which obviously WILL NOT be able to stay stock for long haha.

that being said, I've been lurking around learning as much as I can about the ls400's online and on here, but I'll be that little newb not having any hands-on experience with a Lexus haha.
here is my current project, a 22,000 original mile 1969 w108 Mercedes. 
she's static right now, but have plans to air it before show season starts back up here in the northeast this spring...

and this is my last project which I recently sold. 89 Volkswagen Fox wagon. 
she got the cover of Eurotuner Magazine and a full feature in the November 2011 issue. 
it was a boso influenced build for sure. here are a few photos from the Eurotuner shoot!

I am super excited to get my hands on the ls400, although it will more than likely become a full blown project and I will yet again be on the search for a daily haha.

cheers!

Love those old benz's. Lines are classic. I diddnt know benz came with steering column shifter. I had a W123 turbo diesel with cut and torched springs on AMG monoblocks. I miss that car.

you really love beige eh? haha both cars look dope, and i love the color.

yea man! mine's a 3spd auto column, the w108s also came in a 4spd standard on the column & both standard and auto on the tunnel. seriously in love with that car haha.

[QUOTE=1lexus2c;433452]Nice, welcome[/QUOTE]

thank you!

cool cars and welcome.

Nice, Welcome looking forward to see what you can do

i highly doubt that. 


but if some how true....omfgwowzers.

benz is dope, clean it up more, raise it back to stock height, and sell it to a museum or me, which ever comes first. I had a 280 at one point i loved

thanks a lot guys!

and I was wrong, she's closing in on 23k miles haha.
no plans to really "butcher" it. 
air and wheels. done.
so it'll be able to be put back to stock, and a once a week church driver yet again haha

Nice, love the Benz.  What part of NH?  I lived in Nashua when I played for the Pride and was in Manch-Vegas all the time when playing for  Portland.

that's awesome man! I live right in Meredith, right in the middle of the state. 
you live in st pete now? I ride bmx and rode for a parts company (Profile/Madera) thats right on 95th street in st pete for about 5 years. I spend most of my winters in the Orlando and Tampa area!

clean i love old classic cars of all kinds.

i think the odometer has rolled over and that's why it show 23k miles :D car look cool thought. my mom's cousin had one of those and when i shut the door the car still sounded like a new car shutting the door. didn't sound like a rattle can at all. lol.

Love the Merc. I've always wanted one like that.

Welcome and liking your W108, always been a Benz guy myself, got a couple. Yeah all you need are some wheels, got some SL wheels for my W111. Benzworld forum got a few clean old ones there, check them out. Later.

i like the benz, i always wondered how you lower those. do you cut the springs, control arms?

i like!!
