Pictures of my modified 560 SEC
I purchased my 560 SEC back in October last year. Its a fully loaded one, ortrhopaedic heated seats, rear electric blind, self levelling suspension etc.
It has 100k on the clock and had a engine misfire which turned out to be a bent valve and a faulty EZL. Anyway mechanically i had the top end stripped down and fully reconditioned and a set of sports cams + lifters were fitted.
I have done various mods on the car and have taken step by step pictures. The car had a full respray and a colour change to MB Designo Mocha Black.
So far i have rebuilt the engine, gearbox, rear diff, steering box, water pump, radiator, viscous fan, Magnecor spark plug leads, new ignition coil, new EZL, new fuel pump/filters, new injectors, K&N air filter, new fuel distributor, lowering springs, new front Koni shocks, stainless steel sports exhaust, and removed the cats!!
I have fitted an AMG kit, and while the car was being painted i had the bonnet emblem removed for a smoother look. I have also fitted the original AMG 3 piece split rims to finish the car off.
Picture of the car before work commenced:
Engine stripped down:
Car minus engine, gearbox, propshaft/diff/exhaust
High lift cams:
Heads back on:
Air filter assembly polished up:
Engine back in:
K&N Air filter
Stripped down for paint:
Rust under the rear screen:
New panel being fitted under screen:
Custom stainless stell exhaust with twin twin exit, and rear box on each side!
AMG Kit:
Front spoiler onded on and then filled for a smooth look
AMG skirts:
Lorinser rear bumper (AMG one not aggressive enough!)
