A word of thanks and a photo or 2

My 240 finally hit the road as a daily driver this weekend and I wanted to say thank you to all the member of this site for so much help! I doubt I would have pulled it off without the knowledge received here.

The most expensive cheap Mercedes I've ever owned got washed and waxed today so here is a few pictures.

Thanks again.

That is one of the nicest W115 I have seen in quite a while. that dark color really makes it stand out.

Looks great.

Are the speakers in the front foot wells fitted there by Mercedes or is that a modification?
