Hes a 74' Mercedes 240D purchased from an Elvis impersonator no less. XD Had him for about 2 and a half months of so and been driving the piss outta him. Despite one little hiccup (water pump gasket blew at 90mph) car has been running and driving like a champ...even without oil sometimes. :) Hes low as crap, smokey, slow and breaks necks like an assasin. Def. gonna keep this car for a long while.

I spent $200 getting the wheels welded back up and another $80 swapping tires so I have about $540 in em so far. There were a couple bends I didnt notice at first as well. Either way Im happy with the fitment on the benz. Ive got the other set up for sale for $850 obo but theyre pretty much perfect. But alas thread really isnt about wheels. :)
