Wow that's a beautiful car. Why doesn't mine look like that? Must be the Toronto winters and all the salt on the road (except this year).

Gah, even the wood is flawless! Congrats man! Are those plastic lenses the actual stock ones? They don't look half bad, they look almost smoked.

I stripped and stained some of the wood,it was really bad! more to do
uro aftermarket headlight doors,got them for free new!
not a bad looking car for $1650,but at 230k 5 P-owners,needs TLC mechanics
I bought it cause cosmetics were great,I do all my owen work and have about $2100 into it so far. started working on these cars in Sept. my son bought a 92 w124 on ebay for $3700 with a blown head gasket! dummy! so I did the work on it! and got hooked on these Iconic cars
