Picked this up the other day.

Drove past it for two years and it never moved. Finally asked what the deal was. Guy said if I can get it running I could have it his wife is sick of looking at it. $225 fuel distributor later...drove it home. BAM!

Replaced all the fluids and plugs. Everything works. Just needs a good cleaning. Obviously, H&Rs, Bilsteins, secondary muffler delete, silverstar ultras and 7.5" wheels went on instantly. Just got back from filling her up with some 91 petrol. I am already in love.

Super clean, congrats! Mine is identical to yours, trim and all except it's teal(or whatever Mercedes calls it, I'm new to the MBworld). Can't wait to get mine running again.

Are these photos with the H&Rs and Bilsteins?

Beautiful car! I have had 8 Mercedes since 1997, and have never been disappointed.

I think the MBZs with the circular headlights are among my favorites designs.
