horrible color? It looks fine... black is way to plain when it comes to custom cars..

[lastprodigy]

it is a bad color and clear tails gross....the car is too old for the color! things ugs

Thanks for the comments! The colour is certainly not your typical Benz colour and some may say it just doesn't suit the car. But I like it, so to each his own I guess. I used to have nasty clear tails (terrible decision) but have since switched to all red now.

hey nice car, driven by you a couple times. Planning on doing any shows? DTP i think requires 3 of a make to have a catagory, so hopefully theres 3 next year.

Nice paint and body work for a fibreglass kit, suprised it's in such good condition with Calgary's roads.....the car itself is a little too slow for the kit and color though :D

[Bluebenz]

I am planning to do some shows eventually, however the car needs some serious work before being show worthy. There are a few cracks on the fender flares/front bumper (damn fiberglass/Calgary roads as ZorroAMG, pointed out). The engine also needs to be swapped, the 2.2 litre diesel is great on gas but severly lacks the "go factor"

Keep it diesel! Original factor

How many KM on the car?

[BerserkerCatSplat]

What powerplant would you put in it to replace the deisel?

[luderollup]

i am definately not a fan of the interior or exterior or engine... in my opinion completely ruined a car that is meant to have a little class. the interior is painted blue, and it sounds like its going to break down..

[Bluebenz]

If I do swap the engine, my mechanic has a pristine 93 300 E engine/tranny with around 65 K on it, id probably go with that.

I will try my best to get the parts for the car after the winter season so we'll hopefully have three ;)
Now to get back on topic, nice car, what color blue is that?

[Bluebenz]

The car is painted with a House of Kolor three stage, metallic blue paint.

Why not do a 2.5L turbodiesel from the 300D? Wouldn't that be more interesting? Personally I'm all for diesels, esp with the fuel prices nowadays...
