Hello mbworld

Hey guys, wanted to say hello. Long time lurker, finally got another benz. Let's see, had a 119 280se,126 300sdl,201 2.3, and now 211 amg.

34yo ASE diesel mechanic in nc. Ran a euro shop for 6 yrs here. Been a euro indy tech 10yrs, gm before that. Went to diesel bc of location and economy.

Bought an 05 e55 cheap with every service record since new. Had electrical problems. Now time to lightly mod and dechrome.

Dip with a DYC hvlp gun. Experimenting to judge whether I like the black out look.

The previous owner had the center resonator and rear mufflers removed. I'm too old for all that now lol. MagnaFlow x pipe muffler getting installed this week.

I think I'm going to focus on utilizing all the extra fuel in the stock tune with airflow improvements, meth kit, and possibly a 65 pulley. That'll be all for me, cosmetics after that.
