Awesome job! You answered a lot of questions for me too - particularly with the 10m rear spacers & the period correct headlamps. I’m the second owner of my ‘91 R129 AMG & it came with headlamps that had three dimples in the glass that protruded outward inhibiting the wiper(s) movements. As the wiper would jump when they hit the dimples - so I also will be replacing them with the correct (smoother) version so the wipers have a clean wipe path. Thank you for taking the time to make your instructional videos - great insight and yes, you are saving us all headaches from your own personal experiences. By the way your AMG does look amazing & the ‘stance’ is right on - you certainly have achieved the beast look! Blessings to you & thank you again🙏

Euro lights on 70s-90s Mercedes ALWAYS look better. That's the headlight it was designed with.

A suggestion - instead of 10mm spacers on the rear (not a fan a spacers) why not swap go to a 3.5inch lip for more dish? I did that on my white SEC & it makes for a more killer look. You lucked out for sure on scoring a 6 litre M119-960 KE-Jet R129 under the radar and not sure what you paid but that coupe would go for big bucks over here. Nice work on the detailing for the correct look and make sure you keep this one as great appreciating investment for sure - enjoy

A bigger lip is definitely an option but honestly its big enough. Thank you ive been after this one for a long time !

Looks amazing! What kinda lowering does this one have? Or do AMGs have lowering from factory? If so, do you know the lowering rate?
@youngtimersgarage

As far As I know it was lowered from AMG . Typically Bilstein amg branded struts with black or white Amg springs

Looking great! Who do you usually use for wood refinishing? I have some light surface cracks in the wood around the shifter in my SL600. They bug me, so I’d like to get it redone at some point. Any recommendations about doing just one piece and having it match?

earlier gen engines did not have stamps the only way to verify it to check the bore and the stroke
