well here are some from back in the day. One in front of the brick was at my school in Portland at the Manor House. Then you can see some shots of my pup Hans.
My w108 is my favorite car ever. It has now taken a step down as my daily driver, and the paint is now starting to fade, so time to restore it again, this time bolt by bolt, gotta buy a house and finish school first.
I have some more photos somewhere else, can't say for certain, but some nice shots in the mtns around here.
I restored this car when I was 15, then drove it through HS and college. After a few years the autobox got old, so I found a w108 250s with a 4spd manual, and I swapped all the parts over into this baby. The car is great and roomy, airy(huge sunroof), and the 6cyl with magnaflow sounds great! Dark Red(dunkelrot)(burgundy) with Black roof, and creme interior.

Why thankyou! The same to you! and everyone else here. Mr.Shadow, how bout those tail lights? I bought a can of VHT spray tint for my lights, I think i'll get to it on xmas since I can let the car sit in the garage for the day and let the lights dry. I promised myself I would do it right and take the time. So hard.

The suspensions need to be lubed, and the zerk fittings can plug up, and most oil change places forget to lube the chassis so they can squeek and also wear out due to this. In the front suspension, the KingPins often wear out and create slop, as do the tie rods. I rebuilt all of that so it handles great. New HD bilsteins, rebuilt brakes, Converted to 4spd manual tranny on the floor, and I also took the Rear end out of a V8 model to give me taller gears, so I gained about 20mph at hwy speeds.
I love my color as well, at night it looks almost black, then in the day it has this warm deep glow to it. The paint is starting to fade since it wasn't the most expensive paint job, only singlestage, not a base/clear.
There is Nothing like a nice 108!

I can't find any of my pictures here at my folks house, so they are probably at my apartment. I'll post some more pics next week asap.

Zerk fittings are metal nipples, with a one way ball valve that are used as a means to connect a grease gun and then inject grease/lube in joints and wear locations on the suspension of a car.

I'm back !! by popular demand.
I'm the secret special guest at the January 20th MB Tri-State Meet in Irvine,
but no one is supposed to know that. It's a secret.
Are you going ?
we have a lot to catch up on...
Sean still hasn't sent me that 1/18 scale CLK-DTR that I bought off of him on eBay; you know the one that he got for FREE from EVOsport.
I'm going to hunt him down, and pull his ears. I might even punch him in the ear.
