C36 AMG
New C36 Owner

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the board and realized I never properly introduced myself first with my car and details. I am from Canada and purchased a 1997 C36 AMG that I plan on making immaculate, if anyone has any ideas or tips on how to do that please let me know.

Agree with Kowalski, get some Monos and some lowering. Monos in 17" should be relatively easy to find, 18" more difficult.

BTW nice car. What's wrong with it, if anything?

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the feedback , I am on the lookout for nice Monos in 18. Nothing is wrong with the car except it's missing the Right Front Tow hook cover as I just purchased a Left one from Russia for 115 that came in the mail the other day and its in good condition.

Congrats on the new beautiful car! I spent the last year getting my C43 as close to showroom condition as possible. It has been such a great project (and relatively affordable) to restore. I really enjoy driving it juxtaposed to my newer AMG's.

I imagine the owner makes passengers wear protection suits when riding in the vehicle

Your car looks awesome also! I didn't mean to steal your thunder, I was in your shoes one year ago when I purchased my C43. Luckily, I didn't really have to do anything major to get her looking and running 100%. As for the interior, the only item I had restored was the steering wheel, I had it refurbished by a local interior specialist.

Hi Mdot949,

I enjoyed seeing your immaculate C43 man , It gives me ideas on what to do with mine, IE I need an interior specialist for my steering wheel and those same rims , but damn they are expensive for a mint set of 18 inch monos.
