Vehicle Summary

I purchased this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 from a salvage yard in Pennsylvania. It needs total restoration but given the rarity and that it has the rare dogleg manual, I deemed it worth saving. 

Receipts
Date Title Overview Receipts
Euro headlight harness adapter

Adapter plugs for European headlights

Euro headlight lenses

Replacement OEM Bosch lenses for Euro headlights

Driver's power seat switch

Replacement OEM seat switch for driver's side door panel

Exterior window seals

Exterior window seals for all four doors

Dogleg hardware for bodykit

This is a reproduction piece of hardware to attach the dogleg section of the bodykit to the 190.

OEM steering wheel

This is an original Cosworth steering wheel which featured a smaller diameter than standard. Mine is missing all of its leather and this seemed like a less complicated way to address that versus removal and recovering. 

Bumper mounting hardware

Only source for OEM front bumper mounting clips is China; these are decent copies of the original. 

Rear bumper mounting hardware

Three-piece clips needed for securing the rear valence to the back of the car. 

Headlight mounting hardware

Replacement hardware to address the broken clips on the European headlights. 

W201 lock repair kit

This was bought in hopes it could repair the broken passenger door lock cylinder on the 190E; it didn't work.
