[QUOTE="ck318ci, post: 391017, member: 1970"] Ramsing, I did have a pretty ambitious idea on the W140. I was lucky to source a set of Original WALD V4 kit from a chop shop in Banting for a good price. Sent the car for a few mechanical repair and the bill is not that scary.I did a full service with all fluid drained and change, from a reputable Merc specialist in KL for RM700, that also include fixing a power window regulator and painting the valve cover. Then I put on a set of 19 inch Lorinser RSK3 with Falken tires around RM4500. Noticed it vibrates badly on 80kph, despite balancing and alingment. Sent the car to another Merc( Shouldnt have done so) and changed to long shaft coupling, gearbox mounting for RM400. The culprit is due to poor tires. Will need changing once the Bodykit is fitted as I need to access the car and see whether it needs fatter one. Had some problem with idling and detected was the O2 sensor, throttle body valve was giving the problem, serviced the throttle body - RM150, 02 sensor- RM200, change of air fliter hose cover( was leaking) - RM250. So far mechanically wise is all ok. two more things on the list for repair. rear power window regulator and rear sunshade. Shouldnt be costly otherwise. I intend to put BMW M series Carbon Black on the car as the interior is Mushroom/ Walnut. Walnut steering wheels too. Thought of changing the wood to ASH like BMW 7 F02 or Piano Black, contacted a person who can do that. I am going to get the original WALD sticker pack and paste it on the corner of the wood prior to applying the clear coat. Giving it a personal touch. The interior definitely will needs a good clean up, the rear seats are good but the front seats has some minor fine cracks at the base. Contemplating to get a set of S600 Nappa leather in but is proven too difficult to find in the colour I want. Did saw a set of Black one for 20,000 yen, 4 door cards off the same donor car for another 20,000. Total would be RM1500, but will be difficult as the rest of the interior trim is off mushroom. So still searching. here is a picture of the interior: [IMG]http://public.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pw47h30qpR5e7fwI1ggxu8tOmQnSABh_cDNmkec3eeNBAee7aNL75RcEVLrEbESm89cZHAOgvNBnBhxwAHfsxTw/Image0032.jpg[/IMG] Price, I got it pretty good. for 94/95. I am way below market value and despite all the repairs, bodykit and wheels. My total is on par on what people is asking for a basic 94 S320L. [/QUOTE]
