I have an E46 M3 as my DD. I would love to put that S54 engine in a CSL or 2002.
Those flared out 2002's that you guys are posting are making me drool.

Yes, they are the 40 DCOEs! I really like the 190SL, such great lines.

Good for you Mike! It looks fantastic!

I did the same, sold everything I had of value to buy my '02 and took it with me to the community college (while in still in highschool).

Unfortunately, it had accident damage hiding under >1" of bondo...

Before:


After:



Soon after, I sold the car to an extended family member to help pay for school. It was given to his 16yr-old for his b-day. It was not cared for...

------------------Fast forward ~17 years---------------------

This was taken last week . The city dragged it off their property as it was in violation of the Derelict Vehicle By-Law.

My brother happened to be driving by and snapped this pic:





Sorry for the highjack. Keep up the good work. You will be glad you have these skills for many years to come

Absolutely gorgeous car, Mike. Four years isn't bad at all-I know a few people who are taking 10 years plus to finish up restorations, real life seems to get in the way...

I love what you have done with the 2002. Digital drool.

Please keep updating, especially when you get it on the track.
