Hiya!

It's using the 2.5-16v engine, as for the exhaust it's a Super Sprint but no rumble or anything. It's quiet!! I am guessing it's extra quiet because of the huge muffler that also includes the mid muffler. Later will work on removing the mid muffler to see if it would at least make a small rumble. Heh!!

Thats awsome. Get a black grill from ebay and get an amg flat badge to go with the body kit and rims.

It looks as though your doors dont close all the way? Is this thing a junker or a well kept 190e? The paint looks good. What did you pay for it?

So far it's looking good!
Can't wait to see it done.

And yes, once you remove the other muffler, it'll be a lot louder.

Hiya!

The grill will be painted. The emblem is taken out and the chrome parts are sprayed the body colour while the inlets will be black. I can't wait!! Wanted to find that Merc emblem grill but will do later on!! Woohoo!! Thought of spraying the rims titanium!!

The doors are like that because they were not shut, heh!!

It was my mom's car. Almost junked because she left it under a cover after alot of problems were coming up and my brother rammed it into a tree that caused the 2litre engine to be screwed big time. The engine was never running smooth after that and overheated all the time.

I took it knowing that it is a performance potential with the intention to restore it with a different look and make it my weekly date ride. The look was influenced by the 500E because I wanted something smaller than the 124. Hope the girls will be impressed! I've had it for more than 10 years as well as it became my college ride. Hoping that the grill will be done this week and installed!

Future stuff includes OMP seats because the current ones are rotting, found 16v seats for the back only, to convert the auto to the getrag (just found the trans) and fix up the rest of the electricals and some engine parts. The engine feels smooth so that's good. Floor it and it's all cargasm!
