The coupe in the back ground is a 1991 560sec.

Let's see the SEC

The wheels you see in my sig are a bit too wide to keep on my car until I can get the guards rolled...who knows when I'll get round to that!

Beautiful! Love the little flag.

Great site!

Your car is a very good investment. A friend of mine drove his 5 cylinder SDL for over 20years until the Toronto winter salt ate the rear fender. I believe the engine is soldiering on in a repaired body after he sold it. It burns anything oily.

Is yours a 5 or 6 cylinder?

It's a 6 cylinder and Local Austin Texas car with an encyclopedia thick records from 7 Miles to 150K miles. A diamond in the rough becuase I had to compound the piant 2x's with different compound, polish once and wax once. The engine compartment already looked like this when I got it. Just had to replace some vacuum lines to make the tranny shift smoother. Thanks!

Ontario number plate! I am GTA Toronto. Sadly I am selling my 1986 560 SEL next week, the victim of a trade-in for a Honda Accord.

W126 is a classy Mercedes.

Do not trash your classic. Limit the wheels to 18 inch. Anything bigger is pimpy. Buy something from the 107 series.

[Doktor-t]

Here is my SEC, recently bought it and only had the time (so far) to get som 17" AMG rims.

Lovering it slightly is the next thing on the list.

Sweet car Tobias. I have its 'sister', a 560SEL, same colour, same wheels.
I agree with 'Harkgar' big flashy rice-boy wheels spoil the look of clasics like these.

I am sorry to say that I am trading in my baby from birth 560 SEL for a "rice"! Circumstances forced the sale (one of which is my wife who complains of the oil stains on the drive). The kids are driving age and needed wheels so I am trading in my old faithful for a Honda Accord. I shall soldier on with my 2006 CDi.

Please update us on your SEL-55 supercharged project with pictures.

Here is mine. 1985 500SEC

Painted it the same color as my Earthling car. It's a little rough on re-entry, but My Martian techs are working on the problem.

All it needs is a drop and it will be perfect

Not much new I'm sorry. I've got this 928 Porsche project that's been going on for a year now and just won't end. It's going to be my ride while the SEL55 gets done. A huge money pit sadly but I'm in too deep to bail.
I've received the wiring looms and exhausts from LA and I'm into a deal with a couple of electronic engineers in Melbourne, [800 km away], who have set up a CAN BUS business. They are going to do the integration of the electronics of the E55 motor/trans with the 560. In other words, give he 560 a CAN BUS. It is getting very complex, so I've decided to get this stuff completely sorted before I go on. If the electronics is a no go, I can back out and sell my parts. The main issues are the inter relationships between all of the E55 systems. I don't want to get into ESP, ABC, Parktronic, AirMatic Suspension or the E55s ABS but the Central gateway will seek an 'ok to go' from these systems before start up. The security imobilising system is another giant PITA. We have to disable the systems that won't be used or set up 'fake' responses.
Anyway we've just started on this last week, so it's a worrying and expensive time.
It's all possible but is it worth it? So far yes. The end result will be a big, very comfortable, high performace limo at much less than I can buy an E55 here.

Aussie,

What year is your 928? The most powerful GT had 360 horses. Is it stick? This V-8 has a timing belt not a chain and probably needs to be replaced. I have driven a 5 speed one in the early 1990s. It was very fast but heavy, not at all like the 911.

Is there a way you can get rid of the electronics in the E55 supercharged package? I read that Chevy and Ford sell brand new "crate" engines without emission equipment in the USA but otherwise identical to the OEM engines. If you can attach a throttle linkage to the new engine then maybe you can bypass all the electronics.

Keep us posted please.
