1989 Mercedes 190e 2.0 Auto

[EorS]

Evening all.

Owned the 'Merc' for a year now and got a few bits and pieces on her sorted out.

Used to work in the trade and always loved the older Mercedes. The 190 being the obvious choice for me and they are somewhat under the radar with the lovely over-engineered feel.

Day I brought her home:



After getting the rusty wheel arches and other bodywork sorted. Then replacing the wheels and suspension.





Some stone chips, slight rust spots, audio and cosmetic bits to sort out next.

Must be some lovely older Mercs on here, lets see them .

I too love the smooth look of these oem trims, but they were scratched to buggery (picture is flattering). Trying to find mint ones that were reasonably priced was impossible, so BBS reps look the way to go for me.

Two seized rear shocks and generally rusty suspension lent to an upgrade there too.

Looks brilliant, especially in the flesh, imo .

The audio will just be a replacement headunit of the right age, probably another Becker, as the original is somewhat erratic. The four Pioneer speakers are all fine.

Some W124s look massive value at the moment as the market appears not too sure how to value them. 300-24 is a stunner and climb to big money I would expect.
