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 before May 4th so I can take it across Canada for Driven Show interviewing car enthusiasts & showcasing their builds along the way.
Thank you for supporting me. 🫶♥️

  • So you made a deal at $2000 but paid $2700…. That girl had those guys come specifically so she could get more money out of you. As soon as someone tries to change a deal walk away. You got scammed out of $700

  • Hang on a minute. You say no bank loans and no debt, what about the $5500 your grandparents lent you? Mate that is still debt as it’s money that you owe. Good luck moving forward though, I was just like you as a teenager and I still love cars now I’m old 👍

Ive owned 3 mercedes now, my first one being a 1977 mercedes 300d that i traded a 1985 toyota van for, second being a parts car and third ended up being a 82 300sd that i got running and driving for 700usd. unfortunately i wrecked my 300d so that's why i bought my 300sd. cant wait to see how this build turns out.

And yesterday i was nearly about to quit restoring this cool Mercedes. And then you told me not ro quit. And maybe its the best thing i can do. Because my son loves this old car. 😀 So i will keep on welding! 👍
