The 94 e420 continues to impress. Seriously quick with the 2.82 diff swap. A real sleeper.
It has a faint knock once every 4 sec coming from somewhere poorly defined under the body somewhere, and it did need a new throttle body and harness when I got it, but other than that it is a great car. The seats from these e420 and e400 cars are fantastic. You could get a grand for them in good shape. On Jan 31, 2018 11:44 AM, "Kaleb C.
