And new FACELIFT door in place.



New front fender fitted..

How did you acquire this car? Are you the tow truck driver or the original owner? This damage totaled it so it was headed to the junk yard? That's a nice ride btw, great job!!

Looking forward to seeing the progress, keep up the good work. Also question, does the facelift rear bumper fit right into a first generation w212?

Yes of course..But you also need the new taillights since the old are a bit bigger in shape.
