1988 300CE (RIP), 1987 300E
New to this forum
I've got an '88 300CE in Dark Blue and Cream Interior. Two owner car. It was really cheap but it has original everything. I think the valve guide job and head gasket was done at 90K but other than that it's all original. I need an exhaust, the OE is fried. I need shocks, struts, springs, sportline swaybars, control arm bushings, bushings all around, hoses, 17" rims, Bosch Euro headlamps, etc.
I'm also interested in tearing down an M103 and building a better one for this car. Also a transmission swap.
And any upgrade to the stereo.
I've been reading posts on lots of forums. This list here and one other seem to have all the 124 Coupes. I can't believe how many mean looking Coupes are on this list.
Everything you guys are doing to your cars is inspiring to me.
Regards,
Jason

1992 Mercedes 400E
Welcome!
Welcome aboard, Jason, You''ll find a lot of useful info here, it certainly helped me when I bought my 400E back in April, now I'm trying to give back by contributing to the board.

I will put up pics. The coupe needs a claying and waxing first. It's nothing to write home about right now. I hope to invest some time and dunza into the car. It's the original model year and does show its age. Paint is still decent with hours of detail work. I read somewhere that mercedes does an extra step in the paint process where they flat the finish to ensure a glass finish look and no orange skin.
