      • Had to create an account just to comment on this - my 500SEL is begging for this stance. This looks amazing.

        I just moved back to Wisco after living in Uptown for almost 5 years, I would have definitely been keeping an eye out for this black beast in the area.

          • Don't worry, I cleaned everything after I looked at these pics on my computer, they definitely had a few years of dust on them.

                    • These 500sel's are timeless classics. I'm glad you're doing so much work to this. I might consider getting one in the near future

                      • So the car is a lot louder now, I have a video on instagram if anyone wants to hear what this thing sounds like while rippin'. 'hiitsmealec'

                        Here's a pic of the new engine, almost done, larger throttle body and everything ported/polished/advanced/etc.


                        Most M117 guys can't do this unless they know the throttle body cheat code (mine is actually a 116 FWIW)


                        Technics installed for the most part


                        Yet another painstaking buff

                        Another project, my uncle's car... Nardi just showed up for it, planning to drop it on some nice wheels as well.

                              My friend bought it from a local guy a few years ago, haven't seen another one like it anywhere. The only info we've been able to find on the CD player is that they were available from 86-92. He just scored a Technics cassette player from the same era.
