SEL 420 Lexus SC300
Dead W126 Inside (Not for the Faint Harted)
After a couple of years with my W126 420 SEL that became nicknamed the pit (bad MPG + 10k in paint and maintenance in 12 months) I finally got fed up with it and decided to part it out.

Here is the before



and the Now (actually a few days ago)



I still have about 90% of the car sitting on the shelves so if anyone needs anything just om me

Atleast I finally understand what MB put into building these cars, 90% of the screws and bolts are near impossible to find
