Great to hear this rare bird will be restored! It looks completely fixable. I love the color combo, glad this wasn't for sale anywhere near me or it would have been awfully tempting.I just purchased another 1992 500E Bornite Metallic for my best friend in Albania.
The car needs lots of parts of course more than 5000 usd, probably 11,000 usd in parts. As per him it will be a full bottom up restoration.
It’s a shame to part this car out for parts. He does restorations himself and very good quality work on cars.
I decided to purchase a brand new, zero km complete MB W124 E500 late 1995 production M119.974 engine.
Engine number: 119 974 12 010281
Purchased directly from Mercedes Benz years ago in Bavaria, near Landsberg.
I will decide if I will use it on my restoration project for my 1992 Midnight Blue 1992 which I believe my original engine has timing issues, hydraulic valves issues.
I don’t know what will I do, but step at a time.
