twalton's 1991 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

This is my 1991 560 SEL. I purchased the car in February 2005 as a daily driver to keep miles off my 1998 BMW 740iL.

The car had 119,100 miles on it when I bought it and has been trouble free to this point.

I have made a few cosmetic changes and upgrades since purchase. I will include as many of them as time allows.

Contents

1 - Car as it was when purchased
2 - Replaced Headlight surrounds (doors)
3 - New rims
4 - Interior
5 - Floormats and wood gear selector
6 - New stereo, security system and window tint
7 - Chrome mirror backs
8 - New hood star, trunk star, 560 badge
9 - Chrome gear surround
10- European Headlights, wipers and turn signals
11- Updated headlight wipers

Here are a couple of shots before anything was done.

You really got lucky with those wipers because I have no idea on eBay where to start looking for those headlight wipers. You have any other places you know to find Euro Headlight Wipers?

I am in complete disbelief, I WANT YOUR CAR! I have had a 560SEL for 2 years, its been my dad's car since it was brand new. Unfortunately, he knows nothing about maintenance, that and left it out in the sun every day. I want to either get another or fix the one I have, and I might even use this car as a guideline. Where did you get the OEM wheels, badging, grille, lights/wipers, chrome bits, and burl shift knob? I also want that lockbox you have, I never had one, my interior went to hell years ago.
