Re: I don't have that Series8217 money but...
Since this car started life as a 1995 S50 M3, when the S52 got put in it got the S50 intake manifold, it also got Bosch 24lb injectors and the associated Turner Tune for the injectors and euro MAF. I don't think I'll invest in cams, but we will see. I have a couple other cars lines up to buy which m...

Re: I don't have that Series8217 money but...
Got a Dinan cold air intake heat shield for this, and a set of my patent yellow glass fog lights for this. Probably going to do a set of long-tube headers next. Guys are showing decent gains at the wheels out of a reasonably priced set of headers, especially with the other mods my car is running alr...

Re: Just finished this one (Benz content)
I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but I bought this cars twin, also a 1972 220, but this car is a 4speed manual diesel. 47k original miles, original paint, original sheetmetal. Been sitting since the early 90s. In desperate need of brakes and it wears a set of Michelin tires that haven't been produc...

Re: Achtung! Another Benzer!
Another pic from the other side of the same building. It's an old trolley storage/maintenance facility from back when Columbus had street cars. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/CincinnatiFiero/3BE4065D-0012-4BA3-9852-B83CCBCBAD23_zps6ogd5mji.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Cincinnat...

Re: I don't have that Series8217 money but...
I use a man named Rick. He comes around my dads car lot, but hes a car enthusiast and on my interesting stuff he gives me a price break. He did these seats and the back for $80. At the price I've admittedly been too lazy to learn how to it myself. I am not sure what type of dye he uses, but he appli...

Re: Just finished this one (Benz content)
Sorry! Been out of the country. The W115 rides really well. I live in the old end of town so all the streets are brick and I'm always surprised at how smooth this car rides, as well as my dads W123 240D and 300D when he comes over. The steering in this particular W115 is exceptionally sharp. However...

Re: I don't have that Series8217 money but...
Paintwork is all done, the car is just dirty in the pics, needs a wash and a wax, I'll take some pictures of it clean soon. It has been raining on and off here for what seems like weeks so I haven't taken the time to sit down and detail a car. I guess I never did get stock kidney grills, I can't dec...

Re: Just finished this one (Benz content)
Depends on how collapsed the upholstery padding is, and how many of the seat springs are cracked. My dad has all kinds of little tricks of using pool noodles intertwined in the springs and he pulls up the upholstery and uses various thicknesses and densities of foam to make the pleats in the upholst...

Re: I don't have that Series8217 money but...
Well, the summer and fall was a total fiasco for this car. They mis-mixed the paint with the wrong metal flake / mica and half the car was purple in the sunlight. My paint guy is a good mix of price and quality, but he's super slow. So it takes him a couple months to do a car for me usually. Well ad...

Re: Just finished this one (Benz content)
Had this out and about over the weekend, never did 4-speed swap it, I bought another 1972 W115, excepts it an original paint original sheet-metal 220 Diesel with a 4speed, so that sort of relaxed my desire to swap this car, but I still have all the stuff so it may happen. http://i149.photobucket.com...

Re: Always wanted one, and now I'm over it.
So here is a weird one. October 12th I took a cash deposit for the car. Guy said he'd be back in 10 days with a friend to get the car shuttled home. Never came. Finally got him on the phone, he was coming on another date. That day came and went. Never heard from him. Called and left a message that I...

Re: Always wanted one, and now I'm over it.
My dad has had 3 of them. Once you've had an AMG or an M car, frankly the S60R is a little pedestrian.
