Unexpected winter euro project...

Hi eveyone, Im new to the MBworld forum... I was too buzzy all the time but finally got some free time to be o the forums more often so I made and account. Im working in my w124 currently and you can check some of the pics out.

Sooo, I had this 94 E420 Benz trough out my high school years and afterwards I drove it as a daily driver. It used to be in a very nice condition while I was in high school, I would park it in the last parking spot not to pick up any door dings, but one day out of nowhere I go up to the car and someone was drifting in the parking lot and clipped the front end.. Threw a new bumper on and drove it for couple years.

Once i picked up a fat *** ticked last December on my birthday I parked in front of the house and called it good. didn’t drive it for almost a year until I got a offer to re fix it and get it painted by my hommies painter that restores challenger/ cuda / mopar vehicles and classics.

He had some time in between another car that was coming in, so I was like what the heck let’s give it a try... so it all started here:

I didn’t want the two tones anymore and to make it easier for him I helped to take off all the moldings chrome pieces and rubbers...

I’m looking forward in a nice daily driver again!









He found a lot of small door dings and things that bugged him!!!

























I squiezed my benz in between the plum crazy challlenger that was being worked on for 7 months.





Next is the red challenger.. undecided new color!!!!! Cage is gon be gunmetal...







Last night I did some more work on the benz putting it together. got the rear bumper and rest of the rubber pieces on......
