Really customizing my bricktank 200 1990

My older son is a retired cop and he said the same thing. I had planned, however, to have a carbon fibre "plate" with two tiny magnets to put over the screen when the car is parked. (who knows? they might steal the carbon fibre!).

I am doing some really odd things to the 240. I don't golf,etc., and it is really as close to being a hobby as I have been.

Under the hood( which I removed and "detailed, installed nice insulation and put door edge guards all around the edges that tend to cut you while cleaning.
I also replaced all rubber hoses that feed vacuum and water lines with a shiny black tubing I got from our parts dept.( I sell new Mercedes cars) and also put door edge guard aroun each area edge in the engine compartment.I have remove each component (that come out kind of easily) and cleaned, waxed, painted and/or replaced as needed. i also removed and painted the valve cover and used chrome cap nuts with chrome washers when I re-installed the cover. New headlight covers and put in PIAA bulbs,painted inside the corner lights bright silver, and am mentally designing a grille which will incorporate two high-powered fog lights.Have the carpet and seats out and am "color-coating the carpeting, replacing the cracked console and have covered the rearpackage tray with a great heavy vinyl and am painting the boxes that house the rear shoulder harness ratchets. and on and on and on........

My wife says she prefers being a brick widow instead of golf because she can always find me in the garage/brick-shop.
