1993 300TE project wagon.
Hey, I thought I'd introduce my self.
I'm Joshua I've been wrenching for about 20 years now and I currently have a 1993 300TE I'm building. I always likes the boxy Mercedes and finally scooped one that was in okay shape becides the blown head gasket and SLS nitrogen tanks needing to be replaced.
My plans at first was to do a single turbo manual M104, but then I just started to think it would be cool with a swap. so I now have a OM606 with a 6 speed that I'm putting into it.
Other plans are full suspension bushing replacement. As well as lowering springs, front bilstein shocks, a 400E rear subframe, and camber plates/arms.
I also have some lorinser LM1's in 18x8 and 18x9 to put on.
As for the body I would love to do a 500E wide body. Maybe next year I will but for now I'm just going to get the AMG later generation body kit, since I did a face lift.
I also swap the interior for a Brazil Brown one from the grey it came with. The only issue I had was not being able to have 3rd row seats, because the 1987 donor interior didn't have 3rd row Retrofitting could have been a option, but I didn't bother. They would probably never get used.
I do video updates usually once or twice a month of my progress.
Let me know what you guys think.
