I have the front insert, I need a headliner. I might take it to someone to fix it, but I like to go through all my wiring because the previous owner tried some stuff as i could see. I bought my car second hand and it was stock, so it's going to live its second life a tuned up car.

Ran the turn signal wire connection thru the cluster harness from smaller top connections Black / white left Green/ white right didn’t have a diagram for wires so took us 4 hours to figure out the connections

This was just a test run everything was connected nice and neat with heat wraps


Gonna install them tomorrow

Thanks or the lead. It is priceless to me because it makes me happy. If I had to price it I'd say $100 more than the 141000 mile car that recently sold for 12k... $12100.00

Mine is crazy now with the 6 speed manual gearbox, sadly, one less is running now because the parts car left here, not running. My friend who bought it has plans to get it going again.

I stumbled on this thread also trying to figure out how many w202’s were still on the road. Just got my 99 C43 in May 2020 and have basically spent the entire quarantine in the garage. I love it. 123k, bilsteins, 18” monos, tuxedo, obsidian, haven’t lowered yet but plan to.

Welcome and congrats , looks clean very nice 👍 did you put the rims on or came with them already
As far as how many c43s are still on the road haven’t been able to figure that out yet , we can’t even get a number
of how many c43 members we have , But yeah get some H&R springs and you should be at the preferred height
