Күн бұрын

Modifying a 1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E into an Evo 2 for under $20,000. The question is can I do it before June 7th when I set off for Wek Fest Seattle and DRIVEN Car Show Vancouver.
In this video we are doing bodywork in prep for Driven Calgary.

This is the definition of building a car for a client and the client constantly interupting your work and randomly showing up lol. Nice build Jason.

Dude your rear shocks are in wrong, it should be bottom to top - shock, cup washer, rubber bush, car ( not sure, but looks like you have two rubber bushes between shock and car in the wheel tub)

Well if you’re unskilled, peeling the tape off is definitely a good start. That’s how you learn and get the skills. If you’re going to drive old shit boxes like this you will have to learn. Your argument that if you built it yourself it would take sooo long is a bit off. You have the professionals around you, ask them if there is simple stuff you can do and learn.

You installed the rear shocks wrong. One bushing is supposed to be under the mounting point and the other over in the trunk. That's why it was hard to get the nut on there

Replacing the rear springs can be done in like 10 minutes per side 😂 jack up right under the spring so it's compressed, remove the bolts holding in the arm and let the jack decompress the spring. And do the opposite to install the new one. The rear springs don't really have much pressure on them.

You've got both of your rear shock top bushings under the body mount, you should have one below and one on top. It's either gone to knock and bang like shit or the shockers will drop out

Unfortunately the lack of maintenance bit you... hopefully you can repair everything needed before roadtrip. Pro tip: road tripping long distances on untested old car, I would advise you to bring some spares and basic toolkit in the trunk, you never know what might happen

No matter what you did.... As long as we can see the process of converting a normal 190e into an Evo.... I think it's a WIN for everyone...... Those whiners can shove it up the rear end😂😂😂😂😂 happy to see the car coming into fruition..... Keep up the good teamwork..... This is inspirational..... Thank you

You really shouldn’t mess with cars suspension until you fully understand what you’re doing

@dolmio_sauce 3 ай бұрын

if you put a hydraulic ack underneath the rear arm you can just remove the bolt that goes into the lower arm at the subframe and let the arm swing down, the spring will come out easy enough

Just did this a few weeks back, works great. No need for a spring compressor and less risk of injury. Coil springs aren’t a joke!

When you swap wheels you may need to shorten the rear bolts, if not you can destroy the handbrake spring

oh mate, thats a lot for what you got... some of mistakes i made myself like rusty car but im around 14k$ with mine 190 but im making engine swap for m111 2.3 with turbo. i stripped mine to bare metal and painted. keep it up !

@Fisgrisen 3 ай бұрын

Nice build 😊👍🏻 The fake central bolts on the rims looks ridiculously small though. What engine and gearbox is going in? I hope you are not keeping that stock engine? It would be like so cringe 😊

@ayz48 3 ай бұрын

That sound in the end of the video, from the back wheel sounds just like something I have tried more than once with these old Mercs. Specially when fitting other size wheels... Too long wheel bolts sticks too far in and hit the handbrake-drum-assembly. If too bad, you need new springs and pads. If Im right theres an easy fix. Just remove the pads and springs for this one ride, and then dont touch the handbrake, while its missing.

That noise at the rear end is probably coming from lug bolts that are too long and are interfering with the e-brake assembly. It's definitely worth converting to studs.
