Doing this for a customer, gorgeous car, its a 560 SEC, with the full widebody AMG bodykit. It's missing some of the AMG bits, which the customer has spent many years collecting the correct parts for the car, we're completing the AMG package... I'll let the pics do the talking.... ![]() ![]() Car swap ![]() All the bits except the exhaust. ![]() Original 30+ year old Stratton packaging! ![]() Genuine AMG springs and shocks specific to this car. ![]() ![]() ![]() Can't begin to imagine how hard it must be to find these parts! Just started the suspension, got some very fitting 10J gold plated penta's to put on. Should come together lovely, will get some more pics as we go. |

A 'milked' Widebody SEC is a thing of extreme rarity, you lucky git. One of a few cars on earth that can wear Gold Plate too

Yeah, twice as good as a 500 apparently Tis a gorgeous car, 126 suspension is a bit of a pain!! Cant wait to see it done, got a complete AMG exhaust to go on too (might convince him to let us bypass the first silencer )Neil, I'll agree with the gold plate. Very rare to see a car pull it off, can't wait to get the wheels on! |

Does it have that crazy Blue tint on all the glass? There is a very, very tired milked white W126 AMG SEL near me with blue glass, white leather and a recent new bootlid, which is a damn shame as the old one had a 'Ducktail'-type spoiler that I'd never seen before. I will snap a pic of it if I can it's on White Pentas. |

Yeah its got a slight blue tint, can't really notice it. Grab some pics of the SEL! Stempies, you can get penta's quite cheap if you have a nose on ebay... |

Sure I saw some go for around that before when I wanted a set for something. Just search amg or mercedes wheels and hunt, search Penta and you'll find the ones everyone else finds!

Cheers for the comments. Mudster, can you blame him? Takes years to find this stuff! We're getting there... Front suspension is done. ![]() As is the rear ![]() ![]() Luckily it already had a good set of AMG SLS rear shocks on there so the new ones can be saved for another car. A sneak of the wheels, could do with a buff from sitting in my workshop. ![]() I cleaned up the 3 exhaust pieces and repainted them in high temp. ![]() ![]() The other part number was a 002, but the picture didnt come out well. Imported from Japan... ![]() Heckblende fitted... ![]() Will grab some more pics of the exhaust. |

Amazing car Phil, can't wait to see more. I nipped out earlier to take a few pics for this thread. Meet the SEC's bigger, more tired brother... ![]() ![]() Funky Blue Glass + White Leather... ![]() ![]() Not sure whether somebody might actually live in it! ![]() ![]() Exterior and Pentas have seen better days, but at least it gets driven! ![]() ![]() ![]()

I fear that restoring that SEL could cost you about 5 years of your life, a marriage and a shedload of cash ![]() Might as well buy a small yacht and have done with it The Blue glass is funny, I had forgotten that even the Windscreen is fully tinted - really unusual. The bootlid that was on before had the correct 'milked' trim handle, and a blended-in spoiler like a very short Porsche Ducktail. |

Doing this for a customer, gorgeous car, its a 560 SEC, with the full widebody AMG bodykit. It's missing some of the AMG bits, which the customer has spent many years collecting the correct parts for the car, we're completing the AMG package... My local indie (Lime Tree Garage, near Lancaster) has a customer with exactly the same model - as they're so rare - wonder if it's the same car? |

Should I assume you don't like the excessive look of the Evo II then?

I'm sure I could too!Apologies Neil, thought I replied, but obviously not! That SEL looks well used! I reckon the owner slept with the clear 10 years ago, got chucked out and is living on those back seats! Could be saved I'm sure, bet it looked good back in the day! |
