  • Granny's E12 build, general nonsense

    Hey. I don't know how to start things so I'm going to start writing now. Bitch about it.

    So recently I sold my w123 300D, which was tight but I couldn't get in to the diesel, and ended up finding someone who I think will enjoy it more than I did


    Traded that for my 300E w124, which was also tight and that I kind if wish I still had.

    But long story short, I sold the 300D, and a couple hours later I texted my buddy, the holy Kevin Barr, asking him what we could do about his E12, which I decided I was going to need when I saw it a week prior.

    So the next morning I found myself broke again, with a cherry E12 on my hands.

    Original old lady owned, 87k miles, all original black car, with cardinal interior. Noice.

    I figured I'd do what I didn't get to for my last two cars, and that is make a build thread to put all my progress in to. I might get up to some stuff this week, but who knows, I might end up being dumb and sleeping a lot.

    I also plan to take some nicer pictures tomorrow, but for now, here's the jawn.



    This most likely won't end up as cool as my Jaguar build, but who knows, maybe I'll surprise myself. And you guys. But mostly myself.

      so I forgot about this! But some things have been happening. Dug out this set of wheels I picked up for like 50 bucks, threw some new 205/45/17's on them and mounted them up with a half inch spacer up front. Also fixed up a little itty bitty fuel leak the old girl had.


      So she sits like this now. If you know me, you know I'll make my way out to the angle grinder sooner or later and start to hurt some feelings.

        Figured I'd show off the wonderful interior this babe has, it's been truly wonderful spending at least 80 miles a day in this thing. Unfortunately, the built has been going slow but general maintenance and enjoyment has not been forgotten! Replaced all the 30 year old fuses today, did a nice little interior detail, and enjoyed a nice fall drive.

              It's the place to be. Apart from a couple barely noticeable ciggy burns in the carpet, and some other itty bitty blemishes, it's minty.

                This babe made it down to H2o and back without a hitch! It was an awesome drive, and a great fucking weekend. Pictures will come soon. Kibur did a burnout in it, and it was a two tire fire! LSD had me like

                  Very nice car and interior,

                  But those US bumpers are really strange, they are too long...

                            Looks good. I think a tuck + low make these cars look amazing. But I have never been a fan of the duckbills on these. Whatever you do will be sick, especially with that interior.
