Back in the w124 game :)

Finally got my hands on a 1995 Mercedes-E320 cabrio. Well I got it back in September with a salvage title and just got her all finished from the bodyshop and inspected. Ready to go back on the road Just gotta get her a set of summer rims and find out why the damn top does not want to work

Here are some pics

This is the best use of 124 knowledge out there, imo! Good luck with it, I think you will LOVE this car once you sort her out.

Thanks guys, i've always had a soft spot for the w124s. I've owned a 87 230E back home and a 91 300E before. Have been looking for a coupe or cabrio for years and When this beaut turned up at the local salvage auction I HAD to pick her up. (owned by old lady and has a full folder of service records from the dealer).

Chlippo, I grabbed the plate when I was down there years ago. It is one of the old metal ones that were coated with asphalt. I spent an afternoon scraping all that crap off and painting it. Where you from? Beirut?

Nice Ride Watut !
Now if we can get some custom gauges in there (insider joke fellas).
Actually you know what ? I wonder if rather than white - colour co-ordinated to your car would look good. Its a nice light color !

The fronts look they stick out a bit more than the backs? Contemplating running some spacers in the back. I've been daily driving her for about 2 months now which have been a blast. I have picked up a civic si for daily driving and the benz is most likely going back into the garage only to come out as a weekend car

Yes-
I think this is why the mono blocks are often staggered, with et30 and 8 or is it 8.5 inch width for the rear, while the front is 7.5 wide, et35.

I run 215x45 on front, 225x45 on rear
You can do some filling using a larger/wider tire in the rear.
