You sir are a magician. That is one hell of a project that turned out factory fresh. How long did it take you?

Good job! A lot of work but it looks like new, I'm very impressed. I assume the exhaust is from a sedan that way is a little shorter. Was it cheaper to rebuild this car vs buying a used model in good condition?

W211
kudos to you and hard work/sweat paid off big time on this project!!!! Looks like the car got stripped for everything it could and left for the scrap yard. Good to see you resurrect it from the dead and back on the road. How was the engine, was it left untouched?

Hats off to you sir. This car is gorgeous. Now I want a wagon with an E63 front end. Very good taste and choice of accessories you picked.

Your worst nightmare...
Did you do all the work yourself? You saved a lot there. Amazing finish.
