Here is my towtruck and look what i drove to the junkyard



The rear spoiler fits much better on my car, right?



And my powerlock vacuum pump is defekt so the junkcar had to surrender it's to me



This junkcar was sold brand spanking new to the US ambassy in Stockholm, why would the US Ambassy buy a small MB 190 2.0?

Here's a picture of the thing i forgot the english name on? Anyway it's fixed now, had a huge hole in it.



Stay tuned more to come

 

Got a junk 190 2.0E for free as a parts car, nice when you have your own tow truck
Stripped for paint, keeping the stock #702 smoke silver.
The paint recepies there are both fine silver and extra fine silver because it's metallic color.

My painter are going to replace the fine silver with a more course silver so the paint be more metallic look.
