This is going to be a budget build of budget builds. The car was a steal at just under $1200, especially in a town where W123's entertain numbers around 4-5k. Everyone has the Benz bug around here, a 190d with a blown up tranny runs $1500.

I'm an experienced horse trader and have been in the parts game a long time, I hope to be only $3-400 out of pocket by the time everything is done. It's going to be a challenge, but that's how I make a daily driver build fun.

Anyone got a picture of how a W201 looks on Audi 16" steelies?
