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