phazotron:Wrong assertion. The most timeless and classic S classe are WW126 and W140. These are true mercedes S klasse 1 Like |

Shagati:Well done sir. I really admire your efforts. My salute goes out to every car 'juggernaut' that's made the thread an interesting discovery so far. Mr. Gazzuzz, Mr. Egunmogaji, Mr. Lexus (I've been getting called that name recently lol), Mr. Lungwun, Mr. Bank, Mr. Dumo, to mention a few. @ Oga Gazzuzz I didn't know there was a name for what u advised me against about a year ago. I kept hearing ur voice reading the different definitions and explanations of 'demeanour' into my ears. *spreads mat inside the thread* 1 Like |

Shagati:Very nice! If u don't mind me asking, what was ur overall experience owning the car? I missed out on a nice looking one few days back. The cylinder head had a crack in and I thought of taking the risk. The owner sold it off for around 400k naira while I was still trying to get the 'bill' approved by 'senate' I keep imagining my fingers on the paddle shifters till now 2 Likes |

DrDre1:Very good. Apart from one ignition coil replaced and some suspension work, ownership was trouble free. DrDre1:Wonder why I am never around when these kind of deals go down |
Re: BMW 740i Pre-LCI E38 - Restore To Basic(ish) Condition by DrDre1(m): 1:09pm On Apr 07, 2018 |
Shagati:That's encouraging. Don't rue the missed chance so much. The deal didn't go down in Nigeria I'd be on the look out from now on though. That missed one still pains me 1 Like |

Brief update Dropped Adolf off for interior work (roof liner and parcel shelf) and possible painting today. Gazzuzz, we are using your boy. Don't know what colour the parcel shelf was before but it is now a sun burnt pink! 1 Like

Dismantling in earnest Fabric will be supplied tomorrow and should take a day and a half to install. Some of the filth and sag can be seen in this pic Chosen replacement colour is black Refer to previously indicated black sample a few posts back. Hope it turns out as good.
