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?

Did a little testfit to what more parts where needed to make this happen. And its ALOT of parts you didnt think you needed.
