[...] Welcome to the forum! I'm not surprised this is being done, thanks for the comment. Are there kits with this engine, or aftermarket engines?

iamsuperdan Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Not sure if it totally qualifies, but this Benz belongs to a friend of mine. Mostly stock. Except for the full air ride suspension of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 That truck is insane! That in Japan? The George Barris SL, looks like he woke up from a hangover and wondered what he was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 I haven't bothered figuring out Pinterest and how to share photos, so take screenshots. This is the Eurowise 280 S with a turbo LS swap, appears to be a real car, not a rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspective Customs Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'm a Benz fan. Currently have 5 in the stable, '13 C250, '01 CLK430, '96 E320, '02 ML500 & '03 S500. It was an '88 300TE wagon that got me hooked. You want sacrilege? Here are some examples of what I think should not be done to an MB (the G Wagen is kind of cool though): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 These are great! I’m getting some excellent ideas. Not sure if we’re supposed to show models here or not, but I did this to one several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perspective Customs Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 If you're willing to spend at least $50 for a 190E kit and maybe $40 for a Golf you might be able to pull this off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the revell 230 TE (w124) wagon? Good luck finding one and at the price you need big cajones to cut it up. I think it's the w124 wagon they used for the 1:1 pictured. You can tell by the tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
