lots of cars
looks like it's going be a hot looking w124!!....Hope you get the respect it deserves for being a w124 since almost everything has to be custom...not many aftermarket parts or these cars...

I have 8" tv's on my visors because i park my car on the street most of the time and that's a good way to hide them. Are you going to put more tv's or just on the headrest?

nothing new today. saw it again and it was in the same shape. i took in my euro corners and rain visors to get installed. the kit should be here by next week. once its prepped and installed, itll be out. should be this time next week.

just ordered/about to order:

wald woodgrain shift knob
wald full order meter (speedometer unit)

once the car comes out ill get a 7 in. alpine touch screen installed and my air suspension SHOULD be here by then. until then ill play around on intrax springs.
