My FTO, W124 project, 900 t16s, Ford Puma and E39 M5
Discussion
I've been lurking for years so thought it's about time to post my cars.
First is my first car- a 95 fto gpx tiptronic I got in 99. Was completely standard when I got it, and I proceeded to re-trim the interior, fit Dakota digital dials and a pretty substantial install (well for me anyway). Wheels, cams, throttle body, exhaust and manifold upgraded. Brembo Evo 8 front brakes curently going on. A couple of pics...
Next is a 93 w124 e320 that I used as a daily from 08-11 after a mild restoration. Bought it with 154k and ran it to 187k with no problems. Drove beautifully ad shifted really well over 3500rpm. This is now undergoing a major heart transplant- a 6 litre v12 from an s600....
Work in progress....
Next is a lovely E39 M5 that I had to sell prematurely to fund my house purchase. I had ogled this car literally from new as I drove past it every day to work. Loved everything about it, except the gearbox when cold- a tractor would have a better gearshift...
Found a one owner 900 t16s with a full dealer history and in need of some work. Ended up doing a colour change to Ferrari Gunmetal from silver and re-trimmed the velour to tan leather with black alcantara headlining....
A little Puma was bought to drive over the winter- loved it so much that as soon as I sold it I knew I made a mistake and bought another. This is the first...
Thats all for now- bought a 99 SL500 which arrives on saturday though... hope it was of interest...
