Hi,
it's been a while since I've started my project but now it's the time to start showing results. The whole thing was born in pain and took almost 2 years but here's the story...

Originally the car was sold in the US where it had 2 owners. Second one was a US Army soldier who brought it to Germany when he got assigned to Ramstein Air Base in Frankfurt, Germany. The car never came back to the US. In December 2016 I've bought it from another Pole living in Frankfurt. The car was "just fine". I drove back to Poland and already knew I will completely renovate it.

It's a 1993 240 with B230F and AW71, power heated mirrors, heated seats, cruise control, power windows, ABS, AC and SRS... pretty decent setup.

Here's the car in its original version:

This is how it looks now (and it's still not the final version):

I've installed Yellow Koni sport with -40mm Lesjofors spring set, complete Anti Sway bar kit from IPD, replaced the M cam with VX3 cam and did few other modifications.

I'm still waiting on installing NOS commando bumpers to complete the oldschool look.

I still have some challenges and problems though so maybe you could help with broken white comb-shaped thingies inside the mirror that actually move the glass - where can I buy those?
