I officially had the slowest varient of the 190. The diesel with no turbo It was, however, unkillable and dead reliable, like it never, ever didn't start in over 15 years of ownership. A ball joint gave way in a parking lot, but zero to 60 was probably over 20 seconds I was getting 40mpg highway tho
I personally don’t like his idea of what he would do different . The old interior is one of the best parts of older Mercedes . I think he has the right idea on what he currently has just needs a little work
I used a Z3 rack with E90 inner tie rods and W204 outer ends. I was able to find a universal joint that has the BMW spline on one side and the 3/4" double D on the other. You need a bearing now where the steering shaft comes thru the firewall as well.
Oh, seems fine. I picked up some tie rod ends extentions for a 240SX and with them on it is too long but without them it is too short. I'm just going to trim about 13mm off each inner rod and I'll be right where I need to be.
@KevinUrban-u1z the vast majority of old Benzes & Jags are worth little, and if they have issues? Junk. Better to swap & get them useful again. None are "Dangerous" if done correctly. If you hack anything together, it'll be dangerous, too
awesome build, can you share some information on the front seaybar and on the steering spindles, did the steering spindles need any modifications in mounting the spindles to the 190e lower control arm?
so they baisically made an american c63
Yes haha did you hear what he said at the end? 9:00
The vision on this project is spectacular! Great work

I had a w202 c200D no turbo. Soooo slow but UNKILLABLE. My w211... well that died a thousand deaths 😠
Sick video, nice to see the car be appreciated. A lot of work went into that thing.
Thanks for watching! It was a long process for him.
@magnacars oh I know, I was there lol
Now that’s a nice sleeper 190e! Well done I really like that car!👀🔥💯

Thanks for the video.. Well done project!
Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it.
C60 AMG this is up there in the coolest cars in the world
I did the exact same steering conversion on my R129. Someone may have seen FCPEuro's Golden Era build.
What steering rack did you use on your R129?

@@alexanderjones6383 how did the Z3 rack work? the R129 is much wider car than the 190e

I'm sure Benz purists are screaming, like Jag fans when a SBC/LS or Ford engine goes in, but it keeps them on the road and are interesting
It also destroys their value and suspension geometry and makes them dangerous.

See. You do need a swapped EVO. 😂😂
I plan on doing M111K
@ phhhht lightweight. 😛. Joking. Have a great new year.
Now get the evo2 kit from Thailand and best car ever ❤
Can solve the complicated steering issue, but can't get wheels with the right offset. Those rears look horrendous sticking out past the guards
Work in progress. It’s not anywhere near complete
Camera man had one job
it is a Beatty
He just needs a evo body kit and it will be perfect
Location?
🙌🔥
Nice love it but wanna c the bmw
I work at ls motorwerks, the bmw is nutty
It’s coming out soon just need to edit it
@@magnacars thanks much love from Jamaica
