QUESTIONS?? Thinking about something ask here!

I have a question. Has anyone ever downgraded an e320? I mean using the older hood and trunk style on a 94 e320? Why i ask? I know this guy selling an e320 with trunk and hood damage so i just want to install mine and get rid of my car (tranny is about to go out).

Instead of hijacking a thread im just going to post this one so people can ask questions about their cars or anything.

thatll be a lot cheaper than replacing your tranny.

i dont think you can fit earlier headlights on a later model though. something about tabs interfering or summat. you could get that piece that "updates your hood" to a newer style and keep the late lights.

Will other Benz owners throw imported German rocks at me when I swap a GM LS1 v8 into my 300E?

I just want to know now so I can find hiding places now

That's why i have my 1969 mustang with a 5.0 HO (all forged) waiting to add a supercharger or NOS. I don't really want a sleeper because i use the benz daily. It's a waste of money putting so much money on a daily driver.

I miss having a sleeper to drive. I figure American muscle under the hood while driving a stylish luxury car, best of both worlds. Atleast for those who can't afford a E55 or the like. Way cheaper than swapping in a Benz motor, more HP too.

I say why the hell not go for the swap. you can always change the hood later. you can leave the oem 94 lights, or swap them for the pre 94 euros they will have no problem fitting the old style euros nothing was changed in regards to mounting tabs, only the wipers were different..

As for the trunk not sure if they fits, but one could probably do that too.
