    Build what ya want, Matt. Dan hit the nail on the head, with a bit of horsepressure yer Benz would make a super kewl ricer killer. Hot Rodding is about self-expression not duplication. Have a ball, and keep us updated.

    Remember, 4drs with power are great for killing ricers. Just be sure to keep a tally of "rising suns" in the glovebox! hehe. Heres my ride. Lets see how many laugh.

    Heres the center console, Dual climate control, climate control air conditioning and controls for the moon roof and power antenne. Belive it or not all of the lighting for the switches are fiber optic. For anyone who's wondering the the radio is an oem Becker that still works great. As in all Mercedes the window switches are behind the shifter. Not shown is another mercedes trait that can be found in most all Mercedes is the On- dash ignition, ( behind the steering wheel ).

    I like the floor shifter. Got one in the eagle, not in the olds. Come tomorrow, ill take a pic of my interior. Yeah, im running a 403, and your in pratsville? cool, this should make the cops ask questions when 2 4drs are reported racing together! What options you have? I have the guage package, limited slip rear and AM/FM casette. everything is manual. seats, windows, locks, everything. But, you should be optioned out right? that'll be great for chick crusin

    My car has power windows, locks, moonroof and dual climate control. Th seats are manual. I have vanity dome lights, this is when you open the rear doors only, the rear dome comes on and has a timer, so the door can be closed and the lights will be on until they time out, this also apply's to the front doors. I also have vanity lighted mirrors on the sun visors. I belive the seats are heated but I have not found the switches. Prattsvillian cops are drunk at the tavern saturday nights. we actually have no local cops just one green county sherrif that checks up every once and a while.

    I forgot to mention, power 4 wheel disk brakes with drum brakes mounted over the rear rotors for e-brake and, 4 wheel indipendent suspension. I think my rear end is limited slip, but I'm not shure. What's the gague package consist of?

    Do you think I should paint my car the color of the car on the right? I quickly photoshoped the pics to get that color. that's why the lights and the ground are messed up colors, I just ajusted for that color.
