Nicest looking 300E I've ever seen.

I found this 300E converted to a 500E while browsing through Scott's (run.exe) web page. I dont know if all have seen this one before but I think it's one of the nicest 124's i've ever seen. I say it is a conversion only because it says something to that effect on the top of the page. I can't read the page as it is in Chinese or Japanese or who knows so I may be wrong as to the Conversion.
But man look at the lip on them wheels, thats what I would like to find for my car only with a nicer center. But i'm sure if I found them I wouldnt like the price. Anyway what do you all think? I thought maybe some of you may want some new ideas.

I agree. Mostly I dont like many things of the interior. The exterior set up is pretty much to my liking although there are some things I would change. But definetly a PHAT 124.

The exterior looks great but the interior looks a little too ricey.

Too Ricey? In the middle of Japan no less:p

The Japanese car enthusiasts have been known to be a lot over-the-top when it comes to mods, especially the interior. Notice the Mickey Mouse doll. Very masculine after spending 25-30 thousand in body and interior mods

My Bad !

Felix is even worse

I once asked my mother-in-law to send me some curtains for my '73 Town Car and she did, with a 5" face of Felix in the lower left corner. What's a guy to do? Put 'em in, and drove the car that way for a couple of years before selling it ! To my recollection, no one ever commented on it.

Also, I've revised my cost estimate, probably closer to 50-60 thousand dollars!

I once priced a set of surface mount Bose speakers for a car. Price then 110,000 Yen or about $1,100!!

Japanese motor-heads have no problem spending money!

Happy Motoring!

RBM
