Hey, that's my favorite color combo for the wagon. Very nicely done. Keep us updated with pics as it evolves.

I no longer need and drive a wagon. However W124 wagon is more pleasant to my eyes than W210 wagon with the rounded back, but I prefer the W210 sedan.

Nice car, congratulations! What did you pay for the car and what is after all R&R?

Nice wagon and good luck on your project!

I'm also a huge wagon fan :-)
Bought ours almost 9 years ago with 67K, now it has 231K and running great! I have installed 500E front struts and 500E f/r springs and sway bars, really improves handling! Also, currently running W210 17" wheels, here's a picture...

hello,

nice wagon. i just bought a similar one but it's a 92. what size tires are you running on your 17"s? i'm running amg's off a 2004 clk and they are rubbing in the back. (7.5 225/45/17 and 8.5 245/40/17) i think i'll have to give them up.

Very good day... Of course it got dark so I only snapped an iphone photo shortly after after it was finished...

I am now content.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm running 215/45-17 front and back. Wheels are 17 x 7.5, ET37.

Nice wagon.



Man, that thing is sitting high.... Needs to be lowered ASAP.



I agree that 16s look too small. 17" wheels look good, and if you get a good tire (Michelin) they ride decent too.

it's automatic.

My new acquisition is off to the body shop, and I won't see her until next Monday. I am a bit nervous because I was able to check in daily on Ol' Turbo's progress, and really look closely on the details. Hopefully they will do the same quality job.

I have quite a few wheel options now, but I have not taken the plunge yet.

I just don't want to sacrifice ride quality too much, and I could use the extra ground clearance. I'm sure lowering would look fantastic, though.

By the way those are 19 Monoblock II's. You may want to look at 18's to keep a similar image to the first picture.

From a practical standpoint, I won't lower mine any more. The catalytic converter sometimes scrapes on large speed bumps and the rear muffler tips scrape coming out of certain driveways with large crowns on the road.

Mine did that....


So I had the exhaust rehung.
