I was fortunate enough soon after to purchase a updated front end: hood, headlights, markers, etc.

After adding another avante guard grill, this car now could pass for a 94-95 model as long as the hood was closed.

I also removed the headlight wipers and replaced the panes with new ones that didn't have holes for the wiper arms.

Next up came some Eibach sport springs, Bilstein shocks, as well as original 17x7.5” AMG monoblock rims with

225-45-17 General UHP tires. I was also able to source all the very rare Sportline parts I needed…

(steering box and sway bars), as well as badges and shift knob. (Rear bar has yet to be installed).

Here's the car again at this past year's Vancouver German car festival.
