Spetz's other Car

Hi guys,

This is my long term project car. It is a 1994 220CE bought brand new by my dad. It is in pristine condition, interior is as new and it has never been in an accident.
Future plans:
17" AMG Monoblock rims
Eibach lowered springs + Bilstein shocks
E36 AMG Bodykit

And, possibly as a long term goal/dream, to replace the engine for a V8 from the E500 Mercedes. The Coupe was never offered in V8 form, and the uniqueness would be appealing to me.
Sorry about picture quality, taken from my phone.

And as reference this is the E36 AMG bodykit and the AMG monoblock wheels I want to put:

Yes 17 years ago this car really was something. I remember when my classmates saw it (I was 11 at the time) they all had open jaws etc staring at it. Cars back then were not as flash as today, and with a price tag of $128,000 in 1994 (this is equivalent to over $200,000 in current dollars) the attention this car got was probably similar to what a supercar gets today.
In a way it is actually sad how cars fall from their glory... today the insurance company only insures it for $18,000 :(
