ummmm... the owner must really like Mercs, didn't he have enough money to buy a real Merc or did he just wanna modify his monza?

[aks]

did this guy jus want the class of a merc with chevy insurance premiums?

all the options are correct :lol:

he would need 3 moncedez to buy an 88' 190E, and another 20 moncedez like that one to buy the cheapest brand new mercedes

[itsthepham]

LOL. Back in the day my family use to have two 190E's...those cars where fun while they lasted. :(

[possessed_beaver]

lol pretty funny. you have to hand it to him for doing a good job.

[imprezaWRC]

very funny :)

[BADMIHAI]

WOW! He did a pretty good job with the replica. But then again I doubt the interior looks anything like a Mercedes'.

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

The car is disgusting for me to be honest.......although the job isnt too bad...i think that he must be a very frustrated person that doesnt have a merc....by the way...probably it will be quite cheaper buying directly a 190 E...by the way....its curious the gauges that the Ascona has....once this type of gauges were only used in Europe for Opel Kadett GSI(called Astra GTE in the UK, and Pontiac Le Mans in the USA) and the opel omega 3000, the sportive version of the Omega(called vauxhall carlton in the UK)

[martin100]

It looks pretty real IMO, though i think that replicas are generally poor somehow :|

[Ian_yamaue]

Yeah, but the interior is horrible.

[Nik^XeN]

lol thats a cool car :D

[noliebro]

It look snice, but i bet he wished he had the time back that he spent making it look like that

[corvette97]

chevy+mercedes= SHIT :|

[sentra_dude]

Doesn't make much sense to me...

[BADMIHAI]

i think that he must be a very frustrated person that doesnt have a merc


I think it was SPEEDKILLAR's first car. :mrgreen:

[PATo355]

ehm ... that is so fucking sad , if you cant afford a mercedes then why making such a bad imitation ? :twisted:

[itsthepham]

ehm ... that is so fucking sad , if you cant afford a mercedes then why making such a bad imitation ? :twisted:

at least there is a real white 190E in the background parked next to him...

[corvette97]

plus 190's arent THAT expensive, i must say that the stupid conversion would cost the same as the 190

[Chaos in 1983!]

LOL it actually looks real IMO...he did a good job with the replica...

[BADMIHAI]

ehm ... that is so fucking sad , if you cant afford a mercedes then why making such a bad imitation ? :twisted:

You actually looked at the pics? :shock:

Till the early 90's the import cars were only allowed for diplomatic ppl in Brazil, and the Monza was one of very few options for us, I believe this caused this things.
