Today on DailyDrivenExotics, the team is tackling a car that's seen better days - left to bake in the sun for five long years. Moldy interiors, damaged paint, and a front bumper in dire need of repair. But fear not, as they embark on a mission to revamp this neglected beast. New tail lights are in, a thorough wash is underway, and a visit to the body shop for a paint assessment sets the stage for a major transformation.
With the car now purring back to life at 1,000 horsepower, the team faces the daunting task of sourcing various missing parts like a fender liner and rear under tray. A trip to Mercedes unveils the complexities of finding the right components, with discussions veering towards a potential front bumper upgrade to a GTR style or a 2018+ version. The cost of parts raises eyebrows, leading to a decision to hold off on a pricey front bumper and explore alternative options like a body kit.
Back at the shop, the focus shifts to detailing the car and salvaging the interior from the clutches of mold. As plans take shape for the car's future, the team grapples with the fine line between restoration and full-blown modification. Stay tuned as DailyDrivenExotics navigates the treacherous waters of car restoration, where every decision could make or break the final outcome of this automotive resurrection.
