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.
Poland is the place
No the thing is, he doesn't want a cheap bodykit he was looking for a specific material (I forgot the name)
Who is the guy in Germany ? please share his details
@@xanderk.3851 fibreglass? iirc the kit from Poland is made of fibreglass and was way stronger
@@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.
And Ethan is a top G
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
Yess new part, just recently discovered your channel because of this series & love it! Keep it up :)
Thank you Ronnie
I would just throw this kit away, i would be flipping out over and over after finding problems after problems
I wish u good luck tj for this 190E build ❤
We are getting closer by each step. Dont worry you will manage it.
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.
yea idk where he got 15k from, he could probably even weld it himself if he practiced a bit
@@elibaba8130 exactly
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
good luck bro 😍😍
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.
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......
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!
You go get that bread! love seeing fellow 190e getting some attentions
🎶Oh Lord! Won't you buy me, a Mercedes Benz.🎶
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.
Mine came on the car but you can order them from parts stores
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.
Respect the grind bro, but i think the guy with the kit scammed you big time
That would be such a cool car to have here Ireland 🇮🇪
I’ve a cosworth kitted 190 in Ireland 😂
$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
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?
sad to hear, but send the kit back buddy. not worth your money
🔥🔥🔥
You’ve got good taste, young man.
Thank you
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.
No way
@@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.
Bro was just manhandling the kit😂😂
I’ve never Installed a fiberglass kit without modification
I have one tooo
It still is progress even though there's hiccups. It's taking shape.
I clicked on this video so fast😂
Same 😅
I thought the kit company will send you new parts lol
Theres one in the uk for 35k all done and wraped
That’s $60,000 Canadian!
@@magnacars fook it is yeah just worked it out I tried sending to your ig
About time we got a new video 🎉
Every Mf On Earth Needs a Ethan in their lifes bro...
Havent seen such a shit kit ever and i honestly think the company that made it were blind….. like such imperfections naaaaaa man id never put them to use and try to get a full refund.
Should see the duraflex kit then
@@markstevens7709 tbh idk how would i react if i spent $6k for this shit.
3 hours ago? ⁉️⁉️⁉️
my friend took rust like that in one day welding it and it cost hin like 10 dollars XD
Hello there 😂😂😂
Top content 🔥like that its indept because i want to do it on my w201
The body kit is completely rubbish. Can they get a refund?
Seems like the kit is not set for the Cold winter weather making it brittle…. Better go for a Plastic one….
sand it back it is better before clean car and look for other car
328k subs
🇵🇹💪🏼
We all believe you TJ. As I said before, no matter what, this is going to be the best car and will blow up all over the internet. Gods got your back no matter what!
Thank you man
People hating this kit should see how bad the duraflex kit is lol
I appreciate its your time and money, but try and repair the rust and have a gonat welding. Doesnt nees to be apot on but some of the areas look dangerous to me. New skill and good content, maybe even reach out to someone
Unfortunately it’s a lot misinformation were you can buy parts especially if you live in USA and Kanada. In Europe it’s a lot cheaper and easier for this European cars.
Straight up just get a pesch kit, maybe he could rush order you one ?
Would take ages
Long term, drop an engine in it.
Use heet gun
Worst kit quality i've ever seen. In Russia we have evo 2 kits for like $1,5k and they fit so much better:/
I like pitatoes
6000 bucks......
Are you British?
Yea
I already did this but on a genuine cosworth 190 2.3- looked fantastic but the kit was a nightmare- took months to get it right
What kind of crap are they selling? So bad
Low quality 😢
I feel like I got a bargain buying my 16v Evo 2 for $5,000
Sad and funny thing is that he looked for the best and most expensive kit, payed more than the car is worth for it and got a absokut pile of shit… dude that “body kits” I have seen from wish are better than that! You got scammed 100%. “Made in Somalia” is like top quality compared to that 😂 what the hell bro
First
Total waste of money!! Why would you do such a Build?? Eather you do it right or just dont do it at all…….just Click Bate
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.
Don’t hate. Atleast he his out there fixing it instead of you making a stupid comment. He’s taking a risk bigger than you would ever.
Let him do what he wants you’re not his manager.
@@OutdoorMackie he's not fixing anything he's paying some other poor SOB to. kid must come from money the way he's throwing cash at this shitbox
