Again a Dutchman

Who am I:
Stefan, 46, engineer, 220lbs boldy with a 97 Merc

Reason I signed in:
I heard this is the forum where all freaks and extreme Mercs come together. I don't have the wallet to do the same but love to read your stories and look at your pics.

My car:
Stock 97 E50 AMG with about 150.000 miles on it. Owner for about 18months now. Bought it for $1,00 a kilo and it took 4 months to get it back on the road. Me doing the grinding, breaking and serving coffee and homey Peter doing the work. I signed up today so have to figure out how to post some pictures.

Please ask when questions

Stefan

Welcome to MBWorld, Stefan! If you look at the quick reply box at the bottom below my post, you should see a little square yellow box with what looks to be mountains and a moon. Click that and it'll give you a pop up where you can drag and drop images to or upload directly from your computer. Show us some pictures when you get this figured out.

Looks great, Stefan! Thanks for sharing. We have a few in house MB projects right now. One is a 190SL, another is a W204, and the third is a 300TD. We are writing tech articles on all of them right now to help out the DIY enthusiast.

In today's Dutch national newspapers an article about Florent and my car.
He is completely mad about the 210 and uses it once in awhile when I'm out for work.
