Fitting Evo 2 BodyKit To My $2k Mercedes | PT5

After 1 1/2 years of not having a car I finally bought one!
I decided to go with a 1992 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3 SportLine to make a 190 Evo II Cosworth replica as I think it’s the coolest car I can build for my budget of $20,000.
The goal is to finish the car by June 1st so I can take it across Canada, to Seattle for Wek Fest on June 9th, hosting car meets with you guys along the way.
Thank you for supporting me. 🫶♥️

In Germany there is a guy that built a evo 2 replica for 10k€ and the bodykit cost like 2,5k from Poland and it fit better. But I have respect for both of you to make the one you have fit and work.

[@ScissorhandsbarbershopMIAMI]

Poland is the place

[@xanderk.3851]

No the thing is, he doesn't want a cheap bodykit he was looking for a specific material (I forgot the name)

[@adnanlatif9007]

Who is the guy in Germany ? please share his details

[@niko1u426]

@@xanderk.3851 fibreglass? iirc the kit from Poland is made of fibreglass and was way stronger

[@niko1u426]

@@adnanlatif9007 his name is Falk Jordan, and the car is called the "Lachs EVO" because it's salmon colored. It has an air ride system, Alcantara Interieur and is road legal, all for 10k. Google the name of the car and there are pictures and articles about it, it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's a cool project.

I would just throw this kit away, i would be flipping out over and over after finding problems after problems

[@user-en2tk1bd8b]

Hey man. Thanks for uploading many vids recently. Really enjoying them. It really sucks that you got unlucky with your bodykit, you trying to safe money and time by buying an expensive one but then what feels like having to put more time and money into it than into some cheaper ones really sucks but it happens. Keep on thinking positive as you are atm. Also i respect and like your attitude of rather spending a bit of extra money and more time but doing it right. Cheers

We are getting closer by each step. Dont worry you will manage it.

I wish u good luck tj for this 190E build ❤

Yess new part, just recently discovered your channel because of this series & love it! Keep it up :)

[@magnacars]

Thank you Ronnie

[@tateswanson1803]

So frustrating how blatantly shit that kit is. You’re taking it like a champ, and hopefully this is a great learning experience for you. Certainly making for an excellent build series. Keep on going, brotha.

[@chosensan8629]

good luck bro 😍😍

[@affiliatedamg]

Cant wait for Hedgehog to see this new video and finally get their quality together.... (maybe) it will be actually accurate and bolt on ready for the price lol......

[@Fisgrisen]

If you sell a expensive kit in that state! You can’t even spell the word “quality” 😂 They going out of business when this clip goes viral!

I’ve never Installed a fiberglass kit without modification

[@AdamActions]

Hey Brother I am a film director from NYC and I am building my 190e too! First of all if you host anything in NY I'm definitely there. Also where did you get the lower door trim moulding clips? I ordered some off eBay and they weren't fitting.

[@magnacars]

Mine came on the car but you can order them from parts stores

[@RedSport555]

$6000 for this kit is insane someone in Queens,Ny is selling a e36 m3 vert for $5500 …. Running and driving …. Let that sink in

[@mikeyle119]

my friend imported an authentic evo 2 kit to california from germany about 20 years ago but never got around to installing it on his 190e. as far as. i know its still sitting in his garage.

[@magnacars]

No way

[@mikeyle119]

@@magnacarsyea we were both really active on forums such as bnzsport and mbworld in the early 2000s, his 190 stopped working about a decade ago as far as i know but he still has it for nostalgic reasons.

[@lasvegashelipilot]

Appreciate you sharing this video. There are several "replica" cars I've contemplated building and was always sketched out by the high cost of these body kits from overseas. I would be losing my mind over the quality of this kit after the kind of money you spent. I hope it it holds up ok for you in the end.

[@shazadbukhari7291]

Jason smashed half the kit whilst fitting lol, too heavy handed. Also 15k Canadian dollars to fix that rust is a joke, about £1000 in UK.

[@elibaba8130]

yea idk where he got 15k from, he could probably even weld it himself if he practiced a bit

[@shazadbukhari7291]

@@elibaba8130 exactly

[@magnacars]

Didn’t mean 15k to fix the rust. That’s an estimate for all the work to fix the rust, fit fiberglass, repair fiberglass (a lot of it is wavy) prep for it to be wrapped

You go get that bread! love seeing fellow 190e getting some attentions

Respect the grind bro, but i think the guy with the kit scammed you big time

sad to hear, but send the kit back buddy. not worth your money

I bought my Evo kits from AS Mods, UK. Excellent quality overall; bumpers, wings, & flares were outstanding. That was pre-covid, think he moved operations to Poland. Maybe the guy some are referencing?

you mean click bait?? you're just mad because you wouldn't build anything like that yourself, get off youtube and go do something that's productive, instead of getting mad at other people and venting your frustrations on a person on the internet. you're not safe just because you're behind a screen.
