Car is now finally back in it´s home country Germany, ran like a dream down without the slightest hickup, considering every screw on the car has been touched im more than pleased

Garage finally finished, now it doesnt have to stand parked on the street anymore

[Mayday]

Had to find something to drive to work, found this sad looking 190E 1.8 from 1992, with no extras at all not even ABS and with 4 speed manual gearbox but with only 1 previous owner for 1200 euros



After about 12 hours of scrubbing, cleaning, washing and polishing this is what it looks like



The car is in great condition, no rust, interior is basically spotless and its running like a clock, going to keep the car in this original "Grandfather" look, so that means not lowering it and no aluwheels, just as it looked when it rolled out of from the Mercedes dealer

Unfortunately my girlfriend fell in love with the car so now i will have to find a new one for myself, maybe another 190, would that be sick ? !

Hahaha no not dead yet, although she ´s trying to, what´s wrong with german women ?

Otherwise everything is fine, finally found some time to finish my 16v, engine and gearbox sold now just waiting for the new parts to arrive so we can put them in , on sunday afternoon we managed to start up Sundqvists EVO II with his new E55 AMG engine

How are you, how´s it going with your 16v?

Best Regards
