My '96 C220 (pix included)
Well it's nearing completion. I have yet to buff and wax it, so don't judge the crappy paint too harshly just yet. The car has 94k miles, and everything works somehow.
What I've done:
Bilstein Sport shocks
H&R lowering springs
Eisenmann race muffler
Alleged AMG taillights ($500 on ebay)
"European" front headlights with new orange corners
New hood/trunk stars
New grille
Front splitter
Authentic Lorinser side skirts
R129 (?) AMG wheels staggered fitment(took them off my E55 and yes I am well aware the tires on them are completely shot. I have Michelin Pilot Sport Cup [DOT semi-slicks] coming in a 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 for the rear)
Black AMG interior from a '95 C36 AMG
Wood shift knob (decent one off ebay surprisingly)
Sparco 333 steering wheel with functional horn button and SRS light canceled
Rear window "spoiler" from ebay
Repainted the mid-car claddings in gloss black along with all window trim and roof trim
Power Slot vented brakes and Hawk sport pads (very little squeal on street)
Agip 5w40 motor oil, Agip Plus antifreeze, Motul RBF600 brake fluid, and a tranny service
What's left to do:
Put the new tires on
Detail it
Window tint 28% all around and 35% on front windsheild
Get a black/custom headliner in (the grey just isn't cutting it for me)
Maybe a carbon hood and trunk (painted)
KW V2 coilovers and camber kit
Whatever else I am forgetting...
Here's the pix:
Cheers,
Ricky

Thanks! I haven't repainted it. I haven't even detailed it yet 
I will take my paint meter to it when I get around to buffing it. It is off for window tint at the moment. I'll post pics up Monday/Tuesday when it's back!

Window tint has been finished and I got the detailing finished up as well. Turned out a lot better than I was expecting. Sorry for all the clutter in the pictures I have a few other cars in my shop clogging up my space. The car now has Michelin Pilot Sport Cup semi slicks on it. Great tires for this car. Really makes it a lot of fun. Shouldn't be too terrifying in the rain either. The BFG R1's in the wet are like herding cats, but these PSC's are supposedly better.
