First pics of my 250SE coupe...

Enjoy! She is coming along quite nicely! She still needs to be polished in the worst way possible, but the wash and claybar did wonders alone. Should clean up great once Im done polishing and waxing. No interior in the car yet. I have some rust to repair on the rear floorpans before I can put the new carpet down. New headliner will be in shortly, and the rest of the dash wood should be complete soon as well. Need to get the rear spring fix as the rear wheels sit wrong. Man she is a blast to drive though!

BEFORE: The day I took delivery.

I always like those Euro lens the best ...even better than my 113 Euros.......

It is that angle cut-back / fender hood cap that makes them..

Thanks for the kind words! She is a real beauty.

The wheels are 14x 6.5 I do believe. Tires are just the normal 205's. I was kind of against the wires when I first got the car. Now that they are clean I have a different respect for them. I think they look quite nice.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I dont have any updated pics as of yet. In the process though! I really enjoyed driving her in the fall weather. Windows down, Sunroof open, and driving throughout the MTNs...Just a great time. Ill post up new pics as soon as I have more!
