Time to gloat - Pics of our newly acquired 190E 2.3!

[pawoSD]

I finally got around to taking some pics of the newly acquired 1993 190E 2.3 that we located for my sister to replace her dead minivan....

It is Black on Black Tex....

About the car: It has 197k on it but it has had done in the recent past:

-Head Gasket
-Water Pump/Belt Drive System all new
-Alternator
-CIS System calibrated and parts replaced (including potentiometer AND EHA!)
-Brand new tires
-Transmission was replaced in August
-Virtually no rust
-Interior is near perfect/all original (including MB radio and tape drawers)
-Brakes completely re-done (calipers AND all rotors, with MB rotors!!)

We paid hardly anything for it....and all it needed when we got our hands on it was:

-Fuel pressure regulator (had one from junk yard)
-Spark plugs
-Oil Change
-Trans fluid change
-Diff Fluid change
-Coolant Flush
-Blower Motor
-Wiper Blade
-Random Light Bulbs
-Fuses

It runs great and EASILY flies to 100MPH+....amazing how peppy that little M102 is....though, it is nowhere near as smooth or refined as the M103....and the 201 chassis is tiny.....perfect for my sister, but I would never want one as a daily driver. The only issues it has are a non-working sunroof, and one rear window has a dead motor, and the A/C doesn't engage (unimportant in MI)....that's about it!

And now for the pics! I'll post some interior ones later, it was locked so I couldn't get any good ones at that point in time....







Not bad eh? It was a Gary, IN car for most of its life....but came here 2 years ago....virtually no rust. And we bought it only 2 miles from home, closest acquisition yet!
