To be continued.............

Wow that is quite the project.

Excellent project

Any chance you know what the story was as to what happened to the car in the first place?

nice project!

Been parked and some loser drove to close and scraped it.

With what? A dump truck?


I'll be watching to see this beauty come back from the dead.

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!!

Chris......you are the man!!

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?

Thanx a million..

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