No kidding! And maybe Marci should learn to write english as his posts are too painful to read. So from now on, I won't.

THANKS......2.5 k to be exact all body work,rust areas etc. i decided to spend more than planned so as not to regret later......so i guess i might not go with the air suspension......
ps...going to dmv to retitle the color and also ad a personalized plate AMG

i think the ride is ok with the springs but the low profile tires is what to watch out for........riding on 19's or 20's will never match the quality ride as with the oem,that is why i was considering air suspension so as to maximize the the best quality ride i can get......

Hey Maci...

Why does the fit of the bumper not look right...I mean the car looks pretty good but the front bumper for some reason has a gap about an inch wide from where the headlights meet the bumper...is it just the picture????

the car looks beautiful IMO, but I just couldnt help commenting on the bumper gap...

Did you do this??? The product is Showroom status. What was needed to make your 140 look like that?!?!? Tell me all about it and how to get that "GOT MILK LOOK".

Hello!!! I just finally got plugged into your thread. I see the spoiler addition, looks nice. Tell me about the other thread with the weights on the trunk and bumper.Is that the same car? Is that the V12 shown in the backyard photo? I'm perplexed...

right now the mechanic is installing a new crank shaft sensor $395.00....followed by removing the whole dash to locate- $180.00 or more the burnt wires , that caused my whole dash light & turning lights to go out..... then i will fix the ac..power steering...and then do a complete tuneup..plugs etc........

You know, for a knock off S600, it looks pretty good. I still disagree with the fake badge thing, but you did well for what you set out for.
