    Default 1989 Mercedes 260E

    So here she is, my little project. It's a W124 in SurfBlau, which is a super rare color and from what I've been told, the only one here.

    This was sold to me as not running, with both fenders rusted through and concrete mix drops all over the car. I still havent moved it from my buddies place, but I did go and pull the fenders off to see if I can salvage them, but it was a no go.

    It came with an extra fender which didn't need much work at all to be perfect, the other one I found at pick n pull the other day with a huge kink near thee door/A-pillar and a couple other dings, but 0 rust.





    The father in law and I started work on the fenders. Here's a pic of the passenger fender that needed some real metal massaging in the corner, you might notice the A-pillar arch is not really an arch, but now it's perfect, after took this pic lol




    Its lowered on H&R springs and koni shocks, so I ordered some fender spacers for it to keep the wider wheels from rubbing.

    When I went to take the fenders off, I figured I'd try and start it, see what happens. 2nd try and it fired right up, no hesitation, idles perfect, shifts perfect.

    It may still have a possible fuel issue, but ill look into it further when I have it home, possibly next week. I'll update when I start to try and get the concrete splashes off of it, my buddy has some stuff thats specifically for removing concrete.

    Then, recharge AC and I'll probably bring it into someone that can bring the paint back to life, then drive this fucking thing around come spring.

    Looks great! Phenomenal color too. Nice find. I assume this car is this one? In which case has a really interesting backstory. Get those Monoblocks back to the OG color!

    It very well could be that one, but I didn't get it from him. However, my buddy I got it from could have. One day I might powdercoat the wheels back to original.

    Beautiful ride. Looks like a JDM or Euro import?

    Not JDM but very well could have been a Euro import, if it's the same car @Neil4Speed posted, but im not 100% sure of that

    Ya man it could very well be from the guy that did a Euro delivery back in 89, but no idea where it was going after that lol but ya, if it's the same one, only one in NA with this color.

    Yeah well I wonder how they get the soft flowing caramel inside the Caramilk bar but you don't see me making a god damn thread about it. Slap your wife Baygirl, straighten him out.

    Thanks for the love, knew I wasn't the only one that thought it was special.
