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.
