I spy some considerable lift there. Yet tasteful.
What did you use?

Stock front, old school overloads rear, new shocks. 205/70 15?s. It needs an inch or two of lift in the front to even it out when empty but I use it as a truck and it sits level with about 250lbs in the back.

Some then and now pics of the two black '82 242 Turbos I've owned...


Old 242, May 2003 - note how everything isn't severely overgrown.


Current 242, today (6/29/19) - blackberries have sorta taken over, tree's much larger, and lots of vegetation in front yard, blocking most of the morning/midday sunlight.

245 getting in on the action:
 
Ended up with a rusty manual 1984 240 GLT for a mere $350nz :-D
But had no where at all to keep yet another non-road-legal car :-(
So repurposed the A-frame from my truck and caravan (3rd use) :-D
And towed it to our block of land 3+ hours out of the city to sit :-(

It came with fairly clean/tidy Virgos but two would not hold air after sitting flat for years in a field. So I chucked some bald tyres on 940 rims on it for the tow.

Front were balded-by-me Dunlop D01J semi slick race tyres in 225/50R15 and looked pretty sweet on there! Rears were something factory or close ex drift day from my 16v 740.

Seven seater, rare manual, and with the black trim I've been trying to get for my gold GLE 240 wagon since I bought it 4 or 5 years ago! Excellent.
