Yeah looks really nice. Hard to say if the c43 will ever become collectible classic but it's always good to see old rides that are fixed up real nice regardless of the brand or model.

Decided to clay the rest of the car to get off the overspray then hit it with some polish and wax, not bad for 16yrs old!

collectible classic or not, these cars will always be special. you know you love it when once-in-a-blue-moon someone who knows cars spots your w202 AMG and knows what it is.

great job on the paint, man. really brought that car back to life. and the white C43 look makes me light headed. beautiful!

I might want to pick your brain on what's going on with the paint on my cars. i've got a hood I'm not sure needs painting or....
