Hi all, been lurking the forums for some time now but have yet to post anything. Just picked up my 95' W124 Signal Red wagon last week as I could make use of the trunk space. Sold my Imola Red MtechII E30 and picked this gem up the same day for a steal, 2nd owner @ 186,000 on the clock. It could use a paint job, but no big deal.

Here are pictures of the IR E30 I was talking about... I owned it for nearly 5 years, but decided I needed trunk space instead of a coupe.

Within 4 hours of selling, I found my 1995 E320 Touring in ImperialRed/Beige on craigslist!!

20hrs later I picked up a set of authentic Brabus Monoblock III's in 18x8.5/9.5 on MBWorld. They arent for everyone, and personally dislike the charcoal faces.. I plan on re doing them in silver eventually. Tires sizes I went with are 215/40 and 225/40. Thanks to David and Lee @714Tires for making things happen for me!!!

(235/40s & 275/35s mounted in first two pictures, sitting next one of my prized possesions )

Did an led interior/6k hid lighting overhaul just to update things a bit!!! I know that many of you are against HIDs in halogen housing, but I figured since they come standard on r129's and w140's, it was an exception. I also debadged the e320 trunk for a cleaner look. (My gf thought it'd be cool to be in the picture so please don't mind her lol) Here's how the car sits today. Teaser of what's to come in the mail next week!!! Disregard the bag as it's not mine, but a pair of viair 444c's

Not much of an update, but I did a complete exterior detail on the car over the past few days using my rotary orbital Dewalt machine. 4 step process included Menzerna products : PowerGloss, 104ff SIP, 85rd Micro polish, and sealant. The faded lower panels turned out not so faded!!! Still needs to be resprayed, but this should do for the time being. Water bead was perfect as well

Damn that is a nice detail job! Congrats on the pick up. I think the Brabus III is one of the best wheels for these cars.

Are you in SD? I'm assuming the 714 sticker was from a previous owner.
