I am not ready to buy one yet but I would be interested if you can even still get them.

Something like these.

I have a super SDL project brewing in my head!
AMG body kit
Nice an low
free flowing exhuast
A little Finnish magic...
Maybe another set of wheels, say period AMG.

I am just thinking, I don't know if I want to spend $10k for a "Super SDL".

Although a 300hp+, low, sick looking, mint SDL would be a one of a kind car and pretty neat. It would take years to get together though.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to swap a turbo 606 into one? I wonder how difficult that would be? The computers and trans would be the hardest part.

Here is another unique option for a W126 body kit. I've never seen one in person before, but Junction Produce parts are rumored to be of excellent quality.

What a rip off.. I pitty whoever has bought any of their items at the listed prices.

AMG and Brabus, more so AMG... have a "historical" quality to them since one became part of Daimler Chrysler later on, and the other has done some tuning for Daimler Chrysler and is a well known tuner for Mercedes and Smart.

Other companies such as Zender and Koening were popular during the 80's, but they, atleast to me.. are nothing special and have no historical quality to them.

eventhough I like diesel engines (just recently drove an Audi A3 2.0TDI sportback on the autobahn at 230kmh and was very impressed), I can't find myself accepting the thought of an "AMG diesel" car. They allegedly made an AMG diesel recently, but was discontinued shortly thereafter from what I hear.

Nice body kit but the prices seem to be very high. If I was to look around I could probably find one for under $2k.
