This is my 87' Mercedes Benz 190e 2.3. (W201)
So basically this car has been in my family for its entire life which makes it so hard to let it go.
Being that this car is even older than me, I have grown up with this car so I enjoy every moment that I spend working on this car.
The following shows all the work I've done to the ride.
I organized all photoshoots and misc. pictures on the first page.
Everything else that has to do with repairs and mods are on the second page.
Rate or nominate my ride if you appreciate all the work and time that I have put in my car between my studies.
These exterior pictures show how much progress has been made since I've taken this car. I'm happy to have this car as my first.
It was first bought by my aunt in 87' and it was in a garage for a couple of years before it was given to us. This car still only has 1 OWNER.
