Without a doubt, the W126 was the most beautiful car that MB ever put through the assembly line. To remove this ad, register today or login if you already are registered!

...and These are the beautys she'll be sitting on very soon


when you gonna show us a more recent photo of your benzy baby? Looking at the pic in the bottom of your posts I'd guess you've got the wheels on now. It also looks like you got some sort of front spoiler that goes under the bumper.... where'd you get that. You have it, so does that guy Panzr, and I would love to get it too.....
I haven't done anything to my car's body yet.... it's gonna go shiny black, and get lowered, and get new wheels...but I can't quit tinkering with the motor. I'm having my heads ported and polished, and getting custom exhaust manifold made. The old 500 SEL is gonna run like a Hoss. Once she's done, and I can find money in this recession, I'm gonna start with the cosmetics.
Yours is looking pretty sweet BADwayz.

Center console

How do you remove the center console on a 126 (1981 300SD). I need to replace the carpeting on the transmission tunnel.

New here, had this car for 2 years and soon to start a 500SEC project (potential bags and ridiculous wheels). 20" Daytons (appropriate since Dayton Wire is a local company) with custom Bilsteins and Eibachs, doubled up steering dampers and a necessary alignment. Just got it freshly painted, so here are some pics.







And for fun, the winter set. 24k gold (you wouldn't believe the looks this thing gets on these, it's hysterical).



I hope you guys find this car as amusing and fun as I do.
