I agree about the bumpers. They're coming off as soon as I locate a set of euro bumpers. Also to come are euro headlights and I already have the wiper's for the headlights

Is that the same red as your euro Vipercrazy?, Yes an nice car like the euro AC no servo problems. Can't think of a better cruzier than a W116

w140 v12 would be a better cruiser, that looks like orient red 501, could be "brilliant" red, mesa red 585, or 516 english red is 504

Nutz, haven't been on here in a while, Nice W116. Whats up with the wood? Looks like the rear end is holding itself up good.
Still have the W126?

Hey Mercy, welcome back! Wood? Do you mean the stepped groove? If so, that type of trim is found on the early W116's. I still have the W126, but I've tried getting rid of it by just giving it away for free, but since it doesn't want to start without a tow start, no one cares to bother with it. I may just send it to the crusher before long

a couple more things I noticed... the ignition is from a W115??? The temp gauge has a red mark and then a white mark above that.
