Here's my 1980 280SE Euro spec that I acquired in May. I recently added the wheels and tires. The wheels are 16"x8" SL style wheels with a -35 backspace. And, I have lowered it approx. 2" all around. I just added Euro headlights, pics coming soon.---Zach

Here'a picture with the Euro lights, and clear corner lights. -Zach

hands down the 126 is the best car i have seen Mercedes built and it will never go old..
a newbie question.. is the SEC bonnet a direct fit to the SEL or is work required???

ZaxW126 · 09-13-2011, 10:04 PM

I am blacking out all the trim, just like the early AMG's . I am also painting the bumpers upper body color. Here is a new photo, with the front bumper and grille completed. -----Z

Berde · 10-25-2011, 03:31 PM

Super nice!!! What size tires? Nice color combo as well !!!

ZaxW126 · 10-25-2011, 07:46 PM

Hi Berde! Thanks for the complement! The tires are 225/55-R16 on Benz SL 500 wheels. -Zach

More pics in my restoration are inc here:
http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w126...d-560-sec.html

The car has had AMG cams fitted and has a complete engine build inc polished and ported heads, new valves, timing chan, all seals replaced new oil pump etc. The gearbox and diff have been rebuilt, all the suspension and joints have been renewed, the steerign box has been replaced and the entire cooling system has been renewed. I have the interior left now, am waiting to save up some money before blowing it again!

I understand the money pit aspect of this... but Bro, she's hot to death!!! You gotta spend it on something. IMHO, there's nothing like a pristine interior to make you want to keep a car forever.

Indeed, more pictures please.

Mr.Olsson · 01-15-2012, 05:26 PM

Here are a few paragraphs, I have many more but on a different computer .. so there will be more then ..

Mr.Olsson · 01-15-2012, 05:27 PM

some of the pictures are a little older than some others, this summer I bought facelift bumpers, trigger plastic, which I then painted and put there to get the newer look of the car, since I have welded a lot of rust and so and it should be done next winter the car is to replace the motor to a more modern turbo engine, diesel, of course, and a Mercedes engine, maby a 300 turbo from w124

I hope you like it
