Building A Mercedes 190E Evo 2 Replica For $20,000 PT9

if you put a hydraulic ack underneath the rear arm you can just remove the bolt that goes into the lower arm at the subframe and let the arm swing down, the spring will come out easy enough

Jason is W

good luck bro <3 , i think i m the only fan from north Africa

Unfortunately the lack of maintenance bit you... hopefully you can repair everything needed before roadtrip.
Pro tip: road tripping long distances on untested old car, I would advise you to bring some spares and basic toolkit in the trunk, you never know what might happen

You are doing great man. Thanks for making these for us! ❤

You’re not building anything. Why don’t you do the work yourself 😂😂😂

Ethan is hilarious, I love his humor! 😂

Nice work , Greetings to you from Morocco ❤🎉

can you see if you can do a colab with @AR12Gaming

Can you make the subtitle on you're vd's , it's hard to understand all what's happening when English not your 1st lang ❤

What happened ??????
Let’s guess , the rear shock give out possibly 🤔

Jason is a legend. I'd definitely trust him work on my car.

please fix that right rear brake hose its twisted all the way around

Well if you’re unskilled, peeling the tape off is definitely a good start. That’s how you learn and get the skills.
If you’re going to drive old shit boxes like this you will have to learn. Your argument that if you built it yourself it would take sooo long is a bit off. You have the professionals around you, ask them if there is simple stuff you can do and learn.

You installed the rear shocks wrong. One bushing is supposed to be under the mounting point and the other over in the trunk. That's why it was hard to get the nut on there

You've got both of your rear shock top bushings under the body mount, you should have one below and one on top. It's either gone to knock and bang like shit or the shockers will drop out

LFG!

Jason gona have a PAY day

This is the definition of building a car for a client and the client constantly interupting your work and randomly showing up lol. Nice build Jason.

👆
Can you guys sub pls

Dude your rear shocks are in wrong, it should be bottom to top - shock, cup washer, rubber bush, car ( not sure, but looks like you have two rubber bushes between shock and car in the wheel tub)

When you swap wheels you may need to shorten the rear bolts, if not you can destroy the handbrake spring

The only one that knows what’s he doing is the body guy !

Why rush the build to go to a car show 😭

CRACK IN THE BACK🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wheel offset to high? Maybe needing some wheel spacers.

🙌

oh mate, thats a lot for what you got... some of mistakes i made myself like rusty car but im around 14k$ with mine 190 but im making engine swap for m111 2.3 with turbo. i stripped mine to bare metal and painted. keep it up !

Whats the wheels or rims are called??? Whats the Brand???

Replacing the rear springs can be done in like 10 minutes per side 😂 jack up right under the spring so it's compressed, remove the bolts holding in the arm and let the jack decompress the spring. And do the opposite to install the new one. The rear springs don't really have much pressure on them.

When will you guys hit Vancouver??

This guy sucks

That sound in the end of the video, from the back wheel sounds just like something I have tried more than once with these old Mercs.

Specially when fitting other size wheels...
Too long wheel bolts sticks too far in and hit the handbrake-drum-assembly. If too bad, you need new springs and pads.

If Im right theres an easy fix. Just remove the pads and springs for this one ride, and then dont touch the handbrake, while its missing.

"we" = Jason

Nice build 😊👍🏻 The fake central bolts on the rims looks ridiculously small though. What engine and gearbox is going in? I hope you are not keeping that stock engine? It would be like so cringe 😊

That noise at the rear end is probably coming from lug bolts that are too long and are interfering with the e-brake assembly. It's definitely worth converting to studs.

No matter what you did.... As long as we can see the process of converting a normal 190e into an Evo.... I think it's a WIN for everyone...... Those whiners can shove it up the rear end😂😂😂😂😂 happy to see the car coming into fruition..... Keep up the good teamwork..... This is inspirational..... Thank you

You really shouldn’t mess with cars suspension until you fully understand what you’re doing

Absolutely love this project💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Be carefull with your nails dude

Thank you for choosing
The correct wheels 👍
and in white wow

Bought not built.

At least you could have done the shocks and springs without another guy doing it for you

I've got Sportline front seats!!

Hi I am also building my own evo 2 conversion, and have watch your evo 2 build 10 times trying to figure out some clues about where you got the rims and its center hub... but cannot find out anything online, would you mind directly telling that info? Thanks ahead!

what did you do with the hole in the back of front fender? stad wheel arch cover fit?

Building/repairing the car is very hard and technical, who would've though right??????????????

Everyone likes to drive a car that just works, this is quite literally a "bought, not build" build series!
