My Repairs/Built/Upgrade Thread

Hello everyone, I am starting this thread to document how I obtained the car and to document all repairs, built and upgrades done to my new baby 2008 E350 4Matic with only 102K miles.

Here are some pictures on how I bought it and some of the repairs done.

Thanks buddy,

I decided to paint my calipers to give it a exciting look but I didn't wanted to go the normal route of painting them Red or Black, so Monday and Tuesday, I painted them with "Kawasaki Lime Green". First I used a 2000 degree primer base, 3 coats, and then 3 coats of Lime Green, and then let it cure for 24 hours.
