"Panzer" survives...

He did survive, but needs an estetic intervention, and the only surgeon i trust is me... But since I can't do it myself, I have to find someone else: The Dealership! Man this will be sweet...
Can't post picks of the other car, untill Tuesday, but it's almoast split in half!...

You drove that home?? Amazing! That's one of the reasons we drive them. Did you get any shots of the other car? Love to see how it fared against the Panzer. Glad you and your friends came out of it OK, and hope you get your baby back in shape soon.

Are you going to make another SEC style hood or just get a regular one? What about the AMG bumper?

Holy wreck! That's crazy that your car looks like it was in a fender bender and the other car is nearly cut in half! Can't wait to see those pics. Would make a nice MB commercial. Glad you walked away from that one!

I would upgrade to the '95 style hood and headlights personally. Easy to find the parts and a little more practical rather than covering your foglights with the SEC style.

the "Panzer" enters the shop on the 7'th, so I have time to source out the parts I need. I plan on sticking to the pre 93 look, because I just love the masculine boxy shape, with AMG Gen1 kit allaround... meen, black and really pissed off! that's the look I like on any w124's. and in fact that's why I like the 124's and 201's...
difficult times and long days awayt me at the begining of the new year...
