Merc dans fault

[kevralpina]

Heres my 190e bought after laid up since 2014had it a week got it running then waved the modifying stick plan is to make it legal sort gremlins then create more by doing 2.3 kompressor and 5 speed auto conversion

Nice one kev....oh and it’s my fault is it?? !!
No doubt with your touch that’s gonna be something special
Keep us updated mate

[kevralpina]

yes sorry dan seeing yours sparked my interest was going to change colour but so original going to do a few local repairs and mop the rest the only downside is the taunus will have to go no more room at the inn with my daughter being at the driving age

So the 190e had its first mot in 4 years yesterday passed no probs quick polish and Hoover maiden voyage to the pub nice smooth drive need to sort a few niggles engine needs a tune heater controls need sorting but nothing major will take more pics later the only downside was the taunus had to go to make room it now resides in Portsmouth

Looking good Kev, another nice car you have

[Alpina99]

That looks stunning
Looking forward to more updates

[kevralpina]

Bit of a long overdue update decided against kompressor engine instead a 2.3 8 valve on original gearbox etc more pics and full update to follow

[Mercdan68]

Nice work Kev

[slammedorion]

[kevralpina]

More pics with refurbed wheels thanks RIMTEC front splitter and dtm mirrors ( love em or hate em guess my views ) and correct ride height

[kevralpina]

So the engine is a m102980 2.3 overbored by 1 mm polished crank new shells etc ported and polished head ported inlet manifold running on the original 1.8 injection and ignition engine been converted to duplex timing chain and hydraulic lifters i am driving like miss daisy at the moment but come weekend oil and filter change then excersise right foot

[bmwmaniac]

Add turbo, then exercise right foot, and arms for that matter.

[kevralpina]

So another job ticked off just waiting on sender

[Mercdan68]

Looks great Kev might get a closer look
I’ve got to drop George’s wheels off for refurb up near you this week

[kevralpina]

No probs mate pop in for a chin wag

[kevralpina]
