UPDATE:Body Swap-1985 Mercedes Benz 190E Grafted onto 2010 C63 AMG
UPDATE: Piper Motorsport is currently chipping away at completing their impressive Frankenstein Mercedes Benz Project, so we thought it would be a good time to update the progress of our original feature of it from almost 5 months ago. Keep an eye on it’s progress on their Facebook page, linked on the following page and be sure to check out the updated pictures on the next page. Future plans include EVO 2 body work provided by Thorsten. We look forward to seeing this one completed, but in the mean time we are thoroughly enjoying watching the amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail of it’s current build in progress.
From our original post on November 26th, 2013:
Here’s an absolutely outrageous build-in-progress that we could not miss out on featuring here…a 1985 Mercedes Benz 190E that is having it’s body transplanted onto a 2010 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG. The project is aptly named “Frankenstein Benz” and is being built by Piper Motorsport, the same brilliant maniacs who brought us the V10 BMW E30 M3 which we featured here just a few weeks ago: http://www.carbuildindex.com/13213/bmw-e30-m3-5-7l-dinan-stroker-v10-build-by-piper-motorsport/ .
Other than the few photos here and a brief description, we really don’t have much to go on yet but this is definitely a project that we can’t miss witnessing the outcome of.
To quote their Facebook page directly, here’s the jest of what we got here so far: “To make a long story short we’re installing a mid 80′s 190E body on a late model C63 AMG. The 190E will feature the engine, transmission, entire driveline, suspension, brakes, fire wall, dash, electronics and even the floor pan from the C63 AMG. The exterior will resemble the old school EVO style 190′s, perhaps with some added DTM style flares. Enjoy the evolution and stay tuned as we progress!”
The Mid-Atlantic, Virginia shop has competed in Grand Am Pro racing, SCCA Pro and Club racing, NASA and so on, so we have faith that they know what they are doing. After all, didn’t you just see the V10 M3 that they did?
