1982 500SEC Euro

Was really looking for an SEL when I picked this up last fall, and have been tinkering with it when time allows. It's an '82 500SEC Euro with genuine AMG ground effects and H&R springs, Lorenser wheels and Euro headlamps that raise and lower....well one of them does anyway!
Shes got about 173K on the clock, and runs decent but won't scorch any pavement....but handles like a rocket-sled on rails!

Haven't decided if I'll keep it yet. She needs alot of attention: interior, engine/driveline, body....the list goes on.

But she has a solid body with minimal rust; one spot behind each rear wheel and a small spot in the trunk. Cruise and air work (needs a charge), got new computer, radiator, plugs, wires, tranny service, decent Goodyear ZRs. Body is still tight too with no creeks or groans...but has interior and chassis rattles. Those are being taken care of one at a time. Shoot...when I replaced the pass side window regulator and replaced the door panel porperly I lost about a 1/4 of the interior rattles. Then I tightened up the dash and a few more dissappeared.

It's just fun playing around with it.
