Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked about it. I picked this car up from the original owner @155k needing some tlc but super clean for being a northern car. Plans so far: bbk, 55 swap, 17x8.5s square set w 245s, h&r bars, 60mm h&r springs and adjusters, single adjustable bilstein inverted race shocks, sl-slk external oil cooler, stouter 722.6 trans, LSD and gears. The plan is to basically replace all the worn out parts to get it back in service condition and upgrade using mainly factory AMG parts from other models that interchange
