Honestly if it had stock wheels I don't think it would look that bad. I've seen far worse.

Lose the wheels and painted grill and it looks pretty nice to me.

People have done other stuff with the S class ones.

Like making w126 wagons for instance.

This one's built a little better - Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse 300 24v diesel 1995, 298 000 km, kr



Should have used coupe doors though.

That wagon looks cool. The silver pickup too.

I dig it! The big wagons, too.

I wonder if the Merc-amino comes with the kunstrasen option?

I thought it would be far worse! Definitely stock wheels would help, but I am surprised at the treatment of the grill... it does not look half bad!

I am a huge fan of the custom wagon conversions by Crayford and Universal. And then we have the W126 wagon, which really should have been made!



Not a bad marriage of W126, W123 and W124 components!

You'd have to work hard to put $75k into that. I would go for a 116 or 126 wagon. Interesting how the tie down straps for that wagon go thru the car's interior.
