My 1990 260E "Progress Report"...

Just sharing some pictures of my 260E

When I bought her, she looked like this :

and the interior looked like :

Now...

Got myself "period" headlights

Fixed the "carbon fibre" center console and gear knob

Changed rear lights (amber indicator) which is correct for 1990 and repainted the bumper moulding to flat black

Here are some before & after picture comparisons

Walla...

Hope you like the progress

I find it interesting that you went back to a more stock/period correct look. Most people want to go the other direction haha.

The wood looks great! Is that new, or did you restore that yourself?
