Did you reinforce the interior roof with styrene strips?

Yes remove the doorhandle in the middlepanel and it looks very sweet :cool:

Thanks All!
But I don't quite agree w/ the opinion about the middle door.
pls check out this... from BINZ (from Germany)

photoshoped

:confused: i really don't know. This pix is from BINZ's website.

did the benz ever released a car with a major door disalignment? look closer, the quality etc.
And whats the point of having 6 doors anyway? lol unless you get an extra seat across the car. :flash:

Nice job keep postin progress pics. Its a brave man that will commit a razor saw to one kit let alone two, aint kit bashin' great! :)

I think the pic may be legitimate, if you look through the cars windows you can see the same shaped windows in the coresponding doors on the far side, ie the middle ones

and they make the german ambulance cars &fireengines , too!

hey ~guys~binz website
Here you go.:D :)

binz (http://www.binz.com/indexen.html)

Neat idea, looks like you've gotten a good start. That one photo looks photochopped though. Notice it's also the new E Class-wonder if Fujimi will do the new E55 AMG?

In the US, limos w/six or eight doors like that are generally for funerals; the stretch limos for "fun" times never have more than the four original doors, and are stretched a lot more than those Mercedes. So many of them now are SUV's. The new Hummer looks pretty cool as a stretch limo! The new Beetle...ugh. Stupidest stretch limo I've ever seen!:bloated: :rolleyes:

W:eek:W!! That is awesome.

I was gonna say I have seen some Benz limos with the three doors on each side, and try to get pics, but it looks like you've got enough proof ;)
You're doing just fine :flash: Can't wait to see more pics!!

Looks really nice, it looks like a limo for a private ownere instead of a limo you rent. :) Good idea with the choppin up thing,very good job :)

It looks nicely fitted on!!!
Good work!
Hope to see this completed!

Thanks All, it's gonna take me a while to manage the platform and the windows. Sure will keep posting!

Looking great so far! What about wheels or any other modifications like that? Hope to see it done, and not shelved. I'd get rid of that middle door handle if I was making a limo, more class with only 4 doors I think, then you can have the bar and stretch seats down the sides, but that would require hard work.

I wouldnt worry about the interior, just mirror tint the windows!:smoker2: :cool: :bandit:

the creativity u ppl in AF is driving me NUTS

Ok, I think thats enough and should prove that its not photoshoped

Great job so far :eek:
The different parts of body seem to fit perfectly.
Did you knew it or did you test different Mercs to fit?

Very good idea! The interior should be a challenge, as I see you have the body sorted :p

I remember a while back, somebody was turning a couple of Chevy Impala's into limo's, I would search for a link, but I believe the search function isn't working very well...

Schweet !

What did you cut the body with ?

Is t exacto or even a saw ?

Olivier

Man that is SWEET, I have thought about the limo idea before but I have never seen one before now. Please keep us posted on this one I can't wait to see it done

I think the 6 doors looks ugly.Four doors are better.Plus you can put a fridge, champagne bottle, etc....Like this

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/493830limo-inside.jpg

The purpose of six doors is mainly as funeral transport for the family of the deceased or for presidential/heads of state functions. That's nothing new, an old buddy of mine had a 1981 Caddy 6 door limo. Sure they're not as pretty as the four doors but everything serves a purpose.

I hope to see this finished as I have shelved my 1995 Cadillac limo due to time constraints. It's also my first resin kit and I don't want to make any mistakes with it. Good luck.

:bigthumb:

Wow. Can't wait to see it finished. :bigthumb:

Wow! This is real cool man~ Cutting it up and joining!
Hope to see it completed real soon~! :eek:

the project has been stopped for a while lately. I guess I have to start working on it...:tongue:

You better, otherwise :biggrin2: :cya:
Hehe just kidding, I love the concept , and, please ,take all the time you need!

Olivier:wink:

Great idea!

I started a BMW 750 iL Koenig Longversion a few years ago.
It is still in a Box since ??6 years??

Btw: It is not photoshoped !
Believe me, I am german.:icesangel

Cool choping action you got there! Nice conversion, 4 doors or 6 doors, I'm sure it'll we very well-done in the end!
