What wheels to go for... that is the question??
HRE
Custom 20 inch alloys
Amg Monoblocks
Amg aero 3 monoblocks 3 piece
I think 18in AMG monoblock wheels to keep it period correct or Brabus 18in monoblock wheels. These wheels suit the lines of the W124 coupe beautifully
Leave it OEM, it’s already cool as is! This is a classic Merc! Lovely! 😍
YES!!!!
Your right ! You can’t be spoiling this beauty
Wait a sport line C124 with Recaro classics and 2 piece AMG wheels and a 3.6 M104 for less then 10000?!?!. Seems like a massive steal.....
We think so too. Awesome base car to start with 👍🏽👍🏽
Loving them seats
Thanks for the feedback 👊🏼
Honestly it's perfect the way it is. With the aero 2 wheels it currently has, if a more pronounced dish and lip combo is what you are looking for then the aero 3 would be the correct way to go for a OE look. Oz futura or bbs Rs /Rf would be the correct aftermarket options. Car is super clean though 👀
Had one of these for over 20 years, that one is lovely, I have engine envy!
Please don’t fit the aftermarket kit, they fit like crap. Colour code the bottom half, good stance and classy rims is all it needs. And those split rim AMGs you have are super desirable, someone will pay big money for those.
These cars are built like tanks, you need to cut a hatch out under the first aid box if you want bass to get through from the boot, discreet and works well. And you need subtle door builds, tiny 12cm speaker apertures all round so a bid hole in the sound spectrum unless you can get some mid bass up front.
Can’t wait to see what you do with this car 😎
Thanks for watching and your great feedback 👍🏽👍🏽
What a car, very underrated classic ✨
It certainly is!
Nice useable Classic. OEM+ all the way. Nice little cruise down the Hayes bypass. I remember when that was built and a load of cars got done for speeding but all their tickets were cancelled as the speed limit on the road didn’t come into effect until the next day. Lots of memories.
Deffo
O.e.m plus are the way to go for, very nice car, love your reach groop of 80,90,2000 cars
Spectacular!!! Great showing thanks to you!
My personal thoughts on mods:
OEM look on the outside
Air ride suspension
Clean audio setup inside to complement the high quality interior
Modern era wheels with an increase in rim size.
Thanks for the feedback, we totally agree on all those mods 👍🏽👍🏽
Bagging was perfect
Love Those 90 Mercedes and what a Great interior and engine swap. Keep the wheels please. Then are very Nice unther this car.
This car needs the amg aero 3 mono blocks 3 piece. That will set it off amazing car btw.
Great wheel choice 👍🏽
Monoblock Split. 🤯
Dam you for get how good these old skool classics looked! So much character/charm with them compared to these bland modern cars.
That looks & sounds a hell of a deal for under 10k!! You shouldn't lose on it anyway!
Those seats are lush 👍
Thank you, we think so too 👊🏼👊🏼
I love these cars,but only complete original,like the photo.
Beautiful car! I own a 93 sportline that needs a lot of work! and a 91 in good condition! Love the look on these cars
Couldn't agree more!
All classic Mercedes or back! c124. R129..best investment 👐
id say audio wise id go for a flip up touchscreen head unit and some upgraded speakers and a small active subwoofer in the boot and swap out tha 80s fake wood steering wheel and trim for matching exterior colour wheels idea would be something no else has like one off custom image wheels and definitely bag it on air lift and definitely cliford alarm is a must have with such a classic mercedes coupe
Normal are 18inch but 19” Amg monoblocks would look 🤩🤯👌🏽
this is the dream for me.
Leave it Raj it look classic 🙌
Just bought one here in Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
I’m excited to see what you guys do to it. Also on eBay they have an original AMG body kit for sale now in Germany
The rear lights are all wrong should have the smoked two tone updated tail lights, love those wheels already on it.
OMGOsh that interior !!! Raj you are like a cat you land on your feet - Damn !!!!
10k what a bargain!!!!!!! Gorgeous merc
For that car best rims are staggered Monoblocks and OZ Futura
All 124s with 3 litres or more displacement have the double-piston fixed caliper brake. They need an enormous amount of space.
That's why the rim spider must have a large offset or sit far to the outside. I don't know of any rims with a classic outer bed that fit without sheet metal work. There are many beautiful rims on our planet, but finding suitable rims for the 124 Coupè with 320 engine is a pain in the ass.
I know what I am talking about. I have been driving a 94 C124 with M104 for 2 years and am currently facing exactly this problem.
Lovely looking car I got one of them 320 sport line restoring slowly too with black leather interior. I think car could look good on monoblocks 18" from e55 mercedes deep dish
AMG Monoblock II. OEM plus and slam it to the ground!
Sick gratulations
Thank you 🙌🏽🙌🏽
currently restoring one, been stuck in a garage for 2 years waiting for it to be returned after the head gasket needed to be changed and timing chain snapped on the test drive.
Oz futura fits really good on 124's
Please don't bag it, for two reasons: this is a classic car, leaving it original is always the right choice! Second, one of the best things that make these cars great is the incredible suspension and ride quality; furthermore, this is a sportline version, which means it already has a lower and harder suspension than the normal ones.
Most classic cars look crap standard. Tasteful subtle mods make them pop
@@coltuppal not stance
get some hammer wheels, a more subtle exhaust tip, stereo hidden and stock looking but amazing!!
Do the wheels catch when on a full load and hard cornering? AMG fitted wing spacers to allow wider tyre sizes.
If you fit front wing spacers the mudflaps would not line up, nor would the bottom Saccho cill panel, unless you fit the AMG side valance panel. Unfortunately you can’t buy them. And the copies don’t replicate the jacking tube covers properly. It’s a conundrum.
The factory speakers in the car have no bass. Fitting some discreet bass speakers that look oem is not going to be cheap. However Jehnert make custom colour matched door speaker conversions that replace the door card bottom panel that looks really good with 4 speakers per side plus crossovers. Cost about £1k from Jehnert with speakers.
Please don’t fill the boot with boom box stuff. Keep it subtle.
A flip out head unit that can adjust to miss the heater controls in conjunction with a spacer looks good. I know purists will want a Becker original, but the technology has moved on.
I don’t like the untrimmed black metal side hinge plates on the Recaros. They need colour coding or trimming if
possible.
Can’t comment on the rear model demarcation badge position, but if you rename it, the E36 might be better than a E360 as the E36 was at least used by MB /AMG on their 3.6l collaboration.
The Sportline badge on the sides has
been applied slightly too high. The front wings need replacing. No point in patching them when they only cost £440 a pair from MB.
The steering wheel and the auto selector walnut infill panel need ditching. Also swap the gear knob for a Sportline one. They look a lot better.
Taking the car out for a drive I notice that the oil pressure is dropping to 2.5 bar. Normally I expect it to not budge off 3bar when being driven.
The front number plate should be attached with 4 stainless steel screws, one at each corner, and not double sided tape, to be period correct.
The front bumper has lost the towing point cover, and both bumpers need refurbishment.
Don’t ditch the mud flaps as gravel strips the paint off the plastic panels over time.
The car is lowered from standard Sportline height, so the ride quality will be too hard for a lot of people. Did this car come with the sports chassis option 653 on the build spec on the slam plate panel badge in the first place?
However it’s your car, you paid for it, so it’s your choice entirely. Personally I would turn everything back to stock including the engine.
As far as wheels go, I think that the original 8 Hole ones in Sportline size were well suited to the car as it came out of the factory. These wheels were 15” 7j and gave a very comfortable ride even on sports chassis. Fitting larger wheels makes the car look tubby and shorter, whereas the originals make the car look longer and sleeker. Even 16” wheels destroy the original sleekness.
I see the MOT expired yesterday, so how is the progress coming along? I’m looking forward to seeing what you will be coming up with.
My thoughts would be to re step these wheels with a bigger dish
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏽
Turbobandit!!!!
There’s only one merc that is the standard for mercs. And if your from the 90’s and remember a certain scooter video you’ll know the one 🤔😉
Have it updated to 5g the radio with factory standards
Beautiful car. Get the Hammer wide body kit ok it .
i would swap you my1998 cl600 w140 coupe for it i am about to put it up for sale, but you could make a v12 super merc with it, they look similar to c124 but bigger with a 6 litre motor
Best car ever I want to build one
Some sort of 90s OZ DTM style
I remember my father buy one like you have there, i think it was in 1993?
Made in Germany 🇩🇪 😍
So what happened to it? Now follow up video?
This amazing W124 has now been sold - there are a few videos on our channel/ final video before the car was put up for sale is here : th-cam.com/video/7OnWX4zWI3Y/w-d-xo.html
Amazing car 😎 I personally like the wheels 🤷🏻♂️. Once its slammed I think they will sit just right
We think the car will not sit right with this wheel and tyre setup once the car has had the Airlift treatment … time will tell 👍🏽
Also About the wheel. I would keep the BBS AMG centers and new barrels for a wider more aggressive look.
Thats a really tidy 124. Try get the 90's period correct AMG steering wheel.
I’d steer clear from the fibreglass kits, ya right they are a nightmare to fit. They too noticeable and could impact the value of the car
Keep the videos coming
We agree too - the fibreglass kits just don't fit right !
is that for sale? make it all black and slammed it 😍
Get an evo 3 kit on it 😍
it is a W124 CE
"THAT WOOD FINISH TRIM HERE, DOESN'T MATCH..."WHAT?...DID YOU MISS THE EXACT MATCHING WOOD TRIM INSIDE THE CABIN, ON THE DOORS, DASHBOARD, THE EXTENDED CENTRE CONSOLE AND SURROUNDING THE GEARSHIFT?.
Do you guys think that a 230ce w124 in original condition, 1 owner, 287000km (like 200k-230k miles) and all the maintenance done (it's in a very nice condition) is worth 3200 bucks?? It's within range, overprice, bargain.... Thanks!!
Continuation?
What a gorgeous car! Go for AMG 3 piece split rims. My car is identical blue/black 199 colour with 18" alloys.
OEM+ ..One thing that should be done is change the rear badge too E360, (should be able to get the 6 from the MB parts bin. ) It will make people look twice, and once the hood is popped people will appreciate it.
Thanks for watching and the feedback 🙌🏽🙌🏽
What wheel specs are currently on when you bought these?
Dam I want that. Can you ship it to the states?
What happened to the AmG wheels?
The colour ironically is called blueblack lol
I'd get a set of Jehnert doorbaords for the audio. I just picked some up for my S124 and they're amazing. I do realize this video is a bit old so you've probably already chosen what you're going to do.
you got that for under 10k far out!!
Definitely a good buy 👍
Oem or nothing!!
8 months now and the project is not finished. Why not?
The paint is probably not original, it looks too good, and the E320 badge is in the wrong place, it should be a little higher...
Which engine is that?
Get the AMG kit on.. Many good rep kits out there now for the 124..
cant believe the spec on this coupe.
ive had a few of these, and currently have a R129 500 slammend on CLS AMG's..
I'm interested in those wheels for my S124 if you're selling them?
He slammed the door shut by holding a window!?!?!? 4:16
Slam? just a light touch required to close the door!
Well........ a engine upgrade far as interior amg have a kit an summit jegs racing
You must keep body standard two-tone and slam it with large, dished BBS spokes as per this beautiful, stanced, 1994 Crystal green C124 coupe pictured.
Just realised I can not attach the pictures?
Do you have email I can use?
OK, emailed the pics to your shop!
Put the kit on it
Still 50/50 on the kit 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
They have one in Germany on eBay for an original AMG kit
@@CarAudioSecurityUK it would set it off to add the kit. The way it is now it’s just another e320.
You do have the 3.6 AMG engine which is super rare and can actually sell
It as a AMG and it would attract more buyers as well especially what ever plans you have two
have in mind to upgrade and make it more awesome
Then it is!! Can’t wait either way
Ok, i'm @9:41 in. P E L EEE S(!!) Casette! or i'll hate you.
Bring it!
Edit: I'm now @12:13 in. Leave it as is!! its 98% Perfect! From the butt of my heart; Come on!
Rh toplines
👍🏽
Y not keep the rims more lip an camber wink wink imma Tru star family amg would be proud an.... I have a bose factory radio has been change
That's not a Mercury, "merk" it's a Mercedes.
Oh man, they're gonna destroy that car
Under $ 10.000 ? Very cheap , here in Indonesia its twice than that and not in very good example...
Just sell it to someone who will appreciate it for the classic it is, without 'improving' it....
I t is never C
Брызговики не оригинал... Отстой😢😢😢
first i tought this is a steal for 10K, then i saw its right hand drive - worthless junk
Right hand drive in the uk is what we have so why’s it’s worthless junk lol
