That rear chamber is all messed up.

That would drive me nuts, I spent good money getting rid of that in my W126.

+1 killer sound system. Custom up some boxes and put em at the rear wheel wells. Dump like 15s in thurrr, put that alt to wirk.
+1 in dash computer. make it control the hvac too. touch screen itttt
-1 LEDs. You need to confuse people. Add light racks like you're a offroad Jurassic Park Zombie Slaying Jeep. Get a second alternator.

I do actually have a dual din touchscreen avic installed, soundstream amps, kicker components, jl sub. I do want to get something done with the exhaust, but need to figre out what I wanna do.



There's only a lil bit of camber in the back.... Can't go with less camber, as there is a fender in my way!

I don't know if it has been covered yet, but what is your setup? I've been hanging out with the hellaflush VW crowd and I'm seriously considering dropping my W124.

Hella flush? Do they say that in Ohio? Thought "Hella" was a norcal phenomenon

It is a Norcal thing, but everyone in the rest of the country likes to think they are from CA, thus the "hellaflush, stanced out" movement.

Did you have to roll the fenders? Are there camber kits and such available for the 124?
