Welcome aboard. You'll enjoy it here, there is serious knowledge here, and open discussion is an interesxting (sometimes rough place). You have ambitious plans for your coupe (I go to the other place too)

I like his W140 wheels, a lot, and lot of SEC/SE/SEL owners upgraded to those, so I would like to perhaps talk to him, when he upgrades to the 17" AMG wheels later, if he ever wants to sell them, I might like to buy them. Either those or AMG monoblocks are good choices aesthetically for the W126. My wheels are way past their sell date, anyway, having kissed too many SF curbs back in the day.  Flowmasters are a bit out of character for these cars, you don't see that look/sound very much, but they DO give a real mean rumble and a modest performance gain. If I ever do it, I would likely go with Eisenman or Remus I think He's a prime mover in the upcoming Mercedes gtg in NJ, where you can put a face to a name and see the cars too.

Hello from Sacramento, California.
Sweet ride. Looks sooo elegant like that. Should be a nice sleeper when your done. Jim, if you EVER decide to see your wheels, let me know! They would look interesting on the wagon!

^^^Justin, they'd need some work, (kind of a mess right now) refinishing to be perfect. If I do it, certainly they are yours for the taking. They are 16" Lorinser type "no name" knock off wheels.

The Beast is back
Just got the car back. It has a few drips and minor dust specs which I'll buff out once the paint cures. but otherwise, I'm pretty happy. Damn it looks mean now.
New body kit, rear wing, and paint.

Car looks awesome Dark...
Welcome new member, from BenzWorld...What's going on, over at BW lately anyways? Anything special? I hold a "Dual Citizenship" also, but haven't gone over there since I enrolled. I enrolled there, and here, in the same day, but got suckered into staying here, by the rest of the guys here...

It even looks faster now....
Seeing it side-by-side with the way it was before, I can understand how happy you are.....PLUS, you have it back just in time for the NJ gtg
 so you can make everyone jealous!I especially like the door handles, lowers, and mirror backs painted body color. Even a period correct badge on the wing. Are you allowed to run without no license plate in the front in your state? Don't know if it is my imagination but the front bumper looks euro spec, and the blinkers look like the darker euro-spec orange (comparing to photo of car in original spec. in your sig). You car sounds mean, now it really looks it too. BRAVO!!!!
