[turb0mike] Sibling Rivalry... <Project Blasphemy>

turb0mike · 11-09-2012, 08:30 PM

Hi All,

As you all know I was in the market for a Merc 16V for the past 3 months. I had one in site, but that car turned out to be a piece of trash. A friend gave me a friend's number who knew a friend who literally knew a friend.

This last friend has bought and somewhat restored 20 of these 16Vs over the past few years.

I went to visit this one car he had for sale. It is a 1987 Mercedes 190E 2.3 16V. It has 106k original miles and has not been driven since 1994. It has a clean carfax and a literally PERFECT interior. The kicker was that the car lurched under load up a hill, something to do with fuel delivery. But the great thing about a from 87' is everything can be fixed. I asked the selling price and he told me 5k AFTER he fixed the problem. I instantly said I would take the car. 2 months later and she drives like a complete dream!

Without Further Ado...

^My buddy Adam's CLEAN e30 325is. DTM galore!!!

^Clean as F***!!!!

^A little chipping

^400e BBK FTW!!! Going to be painted bright silver!

^New steering wheel swag!

^super RARE euro rear headrests!!!

^Recaro seats in PERFECT condition. Such dope bucket rear seats...

^ <3

Absolutely love my 16V. One of the most fun cars I have driven for only 167hp!!! haha.

Also, to make the mods ok with this being in the photo section, got a little teaser.......

And thanks to LTBMW for the new front poly LCI lip!!!!

Hope you all like!!! See you at the SoCal Euro GTG in SD!!!

I would say on equal pegging. I actually like the merc styling better.

It's unmolested and will be painted correctly. No more chopped fenders, haha.
