I Went WAY TOO FAR With My E55 AMG Wagon Project & Transformed It Into The See-Through AMG Wagon!

[@LegitStreetCars]

What's the best starter AMG? I say C32. Reliable and easy to mod.

[@agusorellana5551]

LegitStreetCars what about the C30 CDI… the only diesel amg… if you can find one that is…

[@tucoramireztheugly]

Whatever happened to the W203 you purchased? The one with the special mods.

[@UpsideGam3r]

my friend had one, he got rid of it i should have bought it for the 2k he was asking. was such a clean car

[@moatazelmenshawey8072]

In theory you are right

[@alidoganci78]

Pls show every single detail how to facelift the cars there is no video at all on KZbin and also the mirrors👀 Greats from austria

[@LegitStreetCars]

What did you think of this video overall? Anything you liked or disliked? I'm writing out a gameplan to a new series and I'm playing with video style.

[@alexyannakis6111]

Hey alex what size are those wheels you have on your wagon. Also would you happen to know what the name of that particular rim style would be called?

[@maxjabaay4408]

I enjoyed the video. I like how you have a change in your backgrounds. I also like the different ways that you are using your camera ranging from hand held, close up to what I assume is a tripod. All of these changes give the video a more dynamic feel as if we in your garage. Also I like that you upload on weekends it seems others only do the weekdays or their uploads are very random.

[@rhull3939]

I liked the more laid back and humorous commentary style in this one. Great job.

[@Dryloch]

LegitStreetCars what is the app and connector you are using to get 0 to 60 times?

[@theCloudFather]

great video again. You motivate me to upgrade and mod my E55. I keep going back and forth on E63 update, but can't pull the trigger.

[@theduder9548]

Legend says he’s still whispering “in theory” in his garage to this day

[@DeusVolo]

As a kid I would watch Saturday morning cartoons while eating my cereal and as an adult I watch Saturday morning Legitstreetcars with my steak & eggs with a side of Irish oatmeal. Thats crazy the fender needs removal to access the washer bottle assembly.

[@joeyahoo2438]

Just the fender liner needs to be removed to remove/replace/repair the windshield washer reservoir and pumps. No need to remove the fender.

[@bigstinka1]

What’s Irish oatmeal?

[@DeusVolo]

@@bigstinka1 Steel cut oat meal. I make mine in pressure cooker. Stove top takes 30 minutes but requires constant attention to stir it thats why the pressure cooker is better. You can just soak them overnight in milk in the fridge and add fruit.

[@Michael_Michaels]

Dude that's the weirdest food combination ever! (I'm European)

[@amacca2085]

Michael Michaels agreed 🇬🇧

[@is300glenn]

Alex - I honestly think that your videos are among the best on KZbin in this category. Your videography, editing, and explanations are really well done. I think the important thing to remember is to continue showcasing your experience, skills, knowledge, and tremendous mechanical abilities. Also, your sincerity and earnestness are key attractions along with your highly articulate commentary . If you maintain all these elements you'll be on your way to seven figure subscription channel (without a doubt).

[@discusthrowerstate]

I love watching your videos Saturday mornings!!! I look forward to this every week Alex!

[@AnitaHannjob]

“In theory...” ...I do enjoy watching you struggle during lockdown

[@molskimauler]

Legend has it.....in theory.......Alex is still wrestling with the bumper to this very day...

[@bthivierge]

OK the rear bumper sequence was effing hilarious....I thought that stuff only happened to me 🤣🤣

[@pfsantos007]

For those removing the hood by themselves but not wanting to damage the fenders: put some rags or cardboard around the hinge areas, remove hinge bolts, and rest the corners of the hood on them. Use fender covers or steal a comforter from the bedroom. I won't be held accountable for what happens once the ladies find out.

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

Another great video Alex! I think it's really great of you, even with your very important day (or night) job that you still find time to give us such wonderful content! Thanks again! Love these in depth videos

[@basithph8958]

I like the updated look on the E63 I'm sure it will look nice on the wagon!

[@basithph8958]

"I swear it's stock officer!"

[@Vherok]

The face lift is one of the nicest refreshes IMO to any AMG line, subtle and classy. good choice

[@DukeSky]

I feel like I am watching myself work in my garage...This is good times!!

[@jeepinrsa2918]

Its great seeing the actual struggles as well. Its real!!! Great humor.....

[@twilson1973]

Nice job on the removal process. Marking the bolts and the fender position is definitely a smart move. The updated front end will definitely look better.

[@LeonardoBenine]

In my country, it is impossible to make these types of repairs, both cosmetic and mechanical due to the high cost of everything. This car is still extremely expensive. However, I love to see a regular guy doing what we could do in any garage. Stay safe! Cheers from Brazil.

[@rankzwazhere]

1:45 "Slightly updated interior from the E55"

[@gman8916]

When I removed the hood on my 211 I put it in the full upright position first. Seems to be easier. Love your work Alex!

[@ezzghanem]

Great instructions for the mods. I still think the front rotors are installed backwards (right rotor should be on the left side and visa versa.) You can tell by the drilled curves. They should be pointing to the rear for better ventilation.

[@eesco1]

I enjoy all the work you do on your Mercedes. I have a 2000 S500 a 2005 E500 and 2005 C230k and all the work you do on your videos really help me keep my cars in good shape. I’m a DIY guy and have learned a lot from you.

[@anthonym8026]

Thanks for tip on lining fenders. About to change fenders in my car, first time was worried about alignment until now. Thanks!

[@InTeCredo]

I like the idea of using white paint markers as to ensure the proper alignment of body panels during the reassembly! Thanks for the tip!

[@cyronader]

Wow! I own a 2000 ML320 and I was able to retrofit a 2005 sport style front bumper with headlight washers. Quite a bit of fabrication involved but I love projects like this. Can't wait to see your finished project.

[@straussp6367]

Man, I'm envious of that dad wagon. The newer amg wheels look great on it too. The updated parts are a good call. Keep up the great amg content!

[@fixinit]

Gotta love Sleeper Wagons!

[@jasonkeller5732]

I like the other E-63 sedan front makeover. Looks super custom, reminds me of an old school Konig kit in a modern look. I think the wagon will look awesome! Alex, you've no car self control. It's a good thing.

[@EDHBlvd]

I’m of the camp of leaving it with E55 bumper, but its your car so do what you want. The fact that you got the E55 wagon gives you high points. Those are legendary.

[@mattsadach5208]

I love this channel and all the content and how you always show how easy it is to save yourself money and how easy it is if you just have the proper tools and car buying tips.. But your killing me with the jumping around sir A.D.D...... I wish it wasn't so hard to follow you on one particular build. Thank you and please keep the great contact coming.

[@WarpedYT]

I removed mine without tools though ...lol. BEAST MODE !

[@LegitStreetCars]

Haha that's right! No marking panels needed

[@WarpedYT]

@@LegitStreetCars Lol but I got everybody triggered that's for sure.

[@WarpedYT]

Thanks for the mention man!! Stay safe.. Love ya bro!. We should totally race again as soon as the quarantine ends, I received my work permit 2 weeks ago to film outside so I'm good for the rest of the year.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Ya man it's been way too long. I have some ideas for a show we could do too!

[@WarpedYT]

@@LegitStreetCars hell yeah !

[@KelvinHappyLife]

I also have an E55 amg wagon with E63 exterior mods, so I’m really enjoying the great videos. I have shared them with the w211 group here in Taiwan to help with our wrenching.

[@MattCSLnut]

Loving your work as always mate 👍🏼 😎 one tip I’ve learn over the years about removing factory painted fender bolts is putting a small piece of 3M waterproof detail tape (the blue one) over them before unbolting with the socket & ratchet wrench by hand . Works a tread every time 👌🏼 ATB from the other side of the pond 👍🏼

[@aaronbritt2025]

"No, honey, I swear... I'm keeping this one totally stock".

[@thecoochmon112]

@legitstreecars @ the 2:54 I love ❤️ 💕 💗 how U sneak in the rippin and tearin

[@baitse7676]

Watching your videos is like deja vu all over again. Need to put constant pressure on the screws to remove the bottom screws on the side skirt. Pull up from the bottom, rotating the side skirt. Don't need to remove the inner fender wells to remove the front bumper, rear bumper or side skirts. Don't need to remove the subwoofer to remove the rear bumper either, or install it for the matter. Reinstalling the side skirts is much much much more difficult than removal. Good luck!

[@AGMLA_AlexGolub]

What do you think about Weistec - 175hp supercharger? Did you have any experience with it before? I found e55 with it, intercooler with tank in trunk, exhaust and 100k miles in Louisiana, but car needs suspension work, brakes, new battery and some electronics issues fixed. Engine and transmission are smooth. But I didn’t have an opportunity to drive it, because only one air bag fills up. Is it worth getting into it, or better find stock one? Your opinion will be highly appreciated! Thank you!

[@ProfessorOzone]

That rear bumper cover! OMG, that is soooo me. Thought I had to be the only one. LOL.

[@slash11lipo]

Alex, I have been a sub since the very beginning and I have no intentions of getting a Mercedes, but I love quality automotive educational videos which you deliver in spades!

[@izzydizzy1115]

Great Video with a touch of humor! Here's a tip from a retired body shop owner: Put a moving blanket across the windshield before removing the hood. Just in case it slips! (don't ask me how I know)

[@LegitStreetCars]

Great tip!!

[@jspira92]

Everything except the black headlight surrounds look great.

[@-Timpa-]

E55 content is best content!

[@ventsislavpanov]

When the things are escalating quickly. 0:51 "i am just gonna do minor stuff... and it will be totally totally fine" 0:59 "no, its not"

[@stevewcuus]

Alex - any thoughts on catch cans for M113K engines as sold by VRP?

[@willheblackout]

It gets real at 12:55. Thanks for all the cardio ideas.

[@BLiquid10]

Gary Lo is phenomenal!! Ive purchased plenty stuff from him

[@popsicle33]

In theory, That was smooooooth as butter

[@dylanohanselaar6257]

I have an e63 amg the rear bumper is also slightly different de extra curve in de side skirt continues in the rear bumper looks really nice together

[@yogib37]

I updated my 1987 300 TD. I put 18" wheels and tires on it, I put a 1995 euro lights and Hood front bumper, front fenders, and had the whole car stripped down to bare metal, and painted. Looks great. :)

[@jel1212121212]

Too far is just right. Loving these 211 wagon videos, one of my dream cars, along with an 05-06 CDI. Love this era benz and your videos are awesome as always

[@Louie90s]

Bro been following you for a couple of years now and want to say I really enjoy your content.

[@TR850]

I usually struggle most with the disassemble of trim and other stuff, where there are hidden clips or bolts and where sometimes you do not know exactly where they are. All the mechanical stuff and functional components are normally much easier to understand. So I enjoy to watch this and I especially enjoy seeing if something actually does not work out, because then I usually remember, okay there was another hook or something for wiring or some hidden clip or whatever. This is great! One question related to the E63 bumper. I have one on my E55 which is supposed to be original Mercedes part. The annoying thing is that there is a small gap between the bumper and the belly pan, as the belly pan is made for the rounder E55 bumper and the E63 one is more pointed / V shaped. What did you do to close this gap? Cheers

[@citizenpark2782]

What rim and set do you have? They look like 19s, did you roll the fenders?

[@antikristuseke]

How good is the W211 body and subframe with resisting rust? I'm looking at an E55 myself, just weondering how big of an issue I'm getting mysaelf into rust wise. Not expecting it to be perfect at the current age ofc.

[@MrMountainHawk]

Can you plug n play retrofit PDC to these cars? I like ALL the options 😁

[@colliderdc]

“...like a professional...like me.” So great. This video was so funny.

[@yevgeniyelperin3897]

Love the videos. Please keep it up. My brother has 2006 sl 55 that’s on its last leg, wish it could go through the same transformation as your cars.

[@artysmotorsports]

I'm digging this wagon. Off to Craigslist I go 👍

[@TADman4003]

Nice to see you restoring the AMG.

[@lakey4029]

Maybe you know what could be my problem... I have Mercedes w211 e280 with 722.9 gearbox and yesterday I did a pull and now my gearbox is not going into gear... it shows P R N D but does not move... I checked live data and it shows that it understands witch gear I'm choosing but does not engage it. Any thoughts for that? oil level is perfect and external everything looks good too.

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Much better video when you tell us what you are doing.

[@TNBShooter360]

Just picked up a regular 2018 E63s!

[@derekstark8447]

[@pospc2]

I can relate to the extra difficulty of removing a hood by yourself. the one i had to do by myself was fiberglass and was light.

[@superb63amg94]

Can't wait to see the end product.

[@jeffmanzone]

Loved this video. Tat back bumper had me laughing. Now that’s real life. Keep up the great work. Love your videos

[@OrjonZ]

Best quarantine content!

[@richardwasserman]

The music is much better. Good job.

[@FixItRyan]

I don't know Alex is getting more funny or one of us is going crazy staying home. Either way, great video! Alex, can you show us how to fix the vent in the hood? The one on my 04 CLK500 is tilting upwards in the back (by the windshield).

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Excellent production quality here Alex . Then in theory you should have millions Of subscribing viewers.

[@andrewcox3686]

Thanks Alex Great job

[@TheHienax]

quick question.. any tips for a cls 550 ? are good cars or i should stay away from them? Thanks!!

[@StephanPluemer]

Thank you for the Video and for the Link to the Repair Manual ! Regards from Germany. Stephan

[@mzee5533]

Hows your windshield cowl mate? I’ve the same 15yr which I imported from Japan I only figure out that the cowl is heat cracked

[@gerech9291]

What a transformation, congratulations. On a separate topic and knowing that you are a MB mechanic by profession, how in the heck do you remove the torque converter drain plug? I have tried on my C class and recently on my W166 with no success. Any special tool?

[@MBDieselFreak]

Front end damage; Possible armadillo impact?

[@LegitStreetCars]

That only happens to cars with no spark plugs

[@jonathanocampo2144]

Hello I love the new updated idea on the side mirrors any way u can do a video on how you do them or is it a simple plug and play

[@Michael_Michaels]

Dude, sorry for the off-topic but I have to thank you for this: The last time I watched a video of yours, I watched you sponsoring Honey and oh boy how I was glad to try it out! I made a purchase at Gearbest (a smartphone) and got a 22€ discount! It made my day man! Thank you so much!

[@LegitStreetCars]

That's awesome to hear!!

[@Salvaba]

Just out of curiosity, what would you have to do if the clips broke when taking off the side skirts? Would you try to repair the clip or how would you go about finding another one?

[@michaelhawkins5530]

Please use Obsidian black vs. solid black. Obsidian looks much more upscale (and interesting) than solid black.

[@mechanicandi1064]

I can't wait to see this E55 wagon get its refresh 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾

[@gijsbertconneman]

You should do a projector upgrade of the headlights as well. Clear lens, after so many years the reflective part is probably broken and of course there is 15 years of new technology...

[@LegitStreetCars]

Do you have a link to the clear ones?

[@discoinerror5886]

For future reference song at 7:30 is Spring Gang - You Left Behind. Knew I'd heard it before but couldn't place it.

Great video as always Alex! I really enjoy a Saturday morning LSC video!Stay safe out there my friend!🐟

[@bronbakh9512]

Hi, why your E55 Wagen have a oilcooler unter the Kompressor heatexchanger? My E55 from 2004 don’t have a oilcooler :/ is this stock?

4:56 If Arthur Tussik was here you would not notice

[@JoeySkidz]

Ive been really enjoying your videos. They're definitely making me want an AMG to go along with my 190E lol.

[@phgodts]

Pro tip, use a peace of rubber sheet with a bigger socket to avoid scratch the painted bolt

[@jmdjasonday]

I love the grills on those cars

[@jmdjasonday]

E series is definitely a favourite

[@johnds6621]

Your lucky you have a good paint and body company to go to. I use to like this one in my area but they can't find good experienced help which sucks.

Hey Alex great video as always, I have a w211 e500 and my mirror seals are super brittle and just falling apart. I was wondering how easy is the swap to the facelift mirrors? Thanks and stay safe

[@Ramcat_Vlogs]

Found a 2019 e63s wagon in black with 3k miles for 80k over 100k sticker was honestly considering it, might have to buy it. It is an absolute beautiful car an I’m a coupe guy !

[@HannibalACP82]

I serious bought a big 15 piece Milwaukee M18 power tool set because you, the guys at goonzsquad and the 4WD Action guys from Australia all use them.

[@cshevlin]

I love this build! Wish I had one of these cars

[@darrenjorgensen1917]

Most excellent. Love the content it's awesome to see projects being fixed and completed every time. I'm a little surprised that you didn't have your wife help you with the hood but it looks like you were able to do it without any mishap. I would have felt a lot more comfortable with you receiving a little bit of help though.

[@Velodictorian]

Another trick to protect the surface of bolts is to put a plastic bag over the end so the socket sandwiches it

[@ttbalog]

Another nice one. I love these videos.

[@Titanic19127]

15 years old you say? The W211 has proved to be timeless. Some people honestly think my E350 is newer than it is haha
