My humble submission to the photo gallery...1 of 2...

How much do you spend on maintenance for that V12? Have you added any accessories, like AMG mods to add speed or the removal of the speed governor?

moparmike,

I bought the car last year, and I am still in the process of getting the car where it should be mechanically. I haven't done any mods to it...yet! The engine hasn't caused me any problems (knock on Burl Walnut wood), although I do get an EC light from time to time. I'll tackle that later. I just changed engine mounts this weekend (lots of fun), replaced a faulty steering angle sensor, all filters, stop lamp switch, some body trim, bought the correct third stop lamp, and had a hose fitting for the auxilliary heater circuit replaced by a dealer (I couldn't get to that damn thing). All together, I don't think I've gone over $1,500 including 3 visits to a Benz dealer. Keep in mind I do almost all my own work, so no labor expense to pay. I did invest in a scanner, figure another $550 for that. So...so far it hasn't really been bad. As far as AMG items, I would love a set of Monoblock II wheels, but I don't dare approach the wife with that!

p.s. There are no roads around Chicago that I would even think of doing 155mph on, even without traffic! The limiter can stay intact...until I figure out how to disable it;)

Finally figured out how to lower pixels.

Here's ours, 1984 280SEL Euro

That's Rex on the left and he says: We are just two too sexy Germans:D

Here's my fleet as of two weeks ago:

In order from left to right: 1992 190e 2.6, 1985 280te Euro, 1980 280se 4spd Euro, 1985 500sel Euro.
I sold the 280se last week, but I have since replaced it with a 1981 300sd. (pictures of the 300SD will be posted when I get it out of the shop)

Finally got the set of Evo II wheels

eandytmp,

I love the bodykit on the E420! Is it a real AMG bodykit? Really nice!

also, great Euro 126s guys. I've always thought that the Euro bumpers just look so much better on the 126 especially..

Holson,

Yea it is the real AMG kit. I am just missing the front, mucho dinero.
