Very cool! Looks like you've put a lot of work into it. The grill really cool too.

FINALLY!

That is one cool looking car. You did a great job with her and all the time and effort certainly paid off. So are you driving it or just showing it?

Those wheels are awesome and very original, I wonder if they make those in 18"'s x 8.25?

So when are we going to see the beauty in person?

Looks great.

Your mesh grill looks a lot like the Bentley mesh grills to me.

Albert,

If that car doesn't get you attention, I don't know what will

It definitely lives up to your username. You have worked hard to make your concept a reality, just be careful not to get too much attention from the authorities

With all that bright yellow, it's waaaaay too late for that.

Wow!!!

I have been following your progress, and I am impressed with your attention to detail!

As a show car nut myself, I took notice of all the custom tricks, and all are done in primo fashion!

If it were my car, I'm not sure it would ever see the public roads though...that car would attract enough of the wrong attention unfortunately...

...I just glanced at my mundane W124 this morning and noticed that my MB emblem valve caps have mysteriously disappeared from the wheels on the driver's side...

Man, I admire your commitment to the color yellow! The car is stylish, I think if you took it to Europe they would be all over it!

Do you drive it much or is it a "show car"?

I think the only improvement I could recommend would be a different color grille, like black chrome. I do like your solid Bentley-style grille, surprisingly.

How do you say YELLOW in german? That should be on your plates.

-Tom

P.S. When you get out does everything look greenish from the yellow tinted windows?

Thanks guys.

I really haven't driven the car, since its not done yet.. I've had the car for abt 1year and 5mon..or so...but I have parked it on the street incomplete, and every car that passed by, Stoped, turned there head and drove off with there head still looking back at my car its funny...the grill, to me is something different. It doesn't look to good in the pics, but when you see it live it looks good, well to me that is.....Once its done, I will drive it once in a while, cus I wana enjoy all this wait, but my goal is to take it to shows. I don't speek German to know how to say it sorry buddy....and abt the security, wow, I don't know what I will do if something happens to this car....I'll go crazy

Thanks,
Albert S.

since my door handels have been "shaved," I have installed "remote door pops," as they call it. there are solenoieds in the doors, these pull the handel (as if I was to pull it from the outside) and release the door. But after releasing the door, there needs to be something to push the door open so I can get in..that is where the poper (what your talking abt) comes in place..when I press the remote button, the solenoied releases the door from closed position, and the poper pops the door open. I hope this helped answer your question.
