In this video, I will talk to you about my very own 1997 Mercedes Benz C36 AMG. I had one of these modified W202s in early 2000’s but had to sell it due to family priorites. Ever since then, I have always wanted one that was rare and overlooked. In my 3.5 years of owning (aka rescuing) this ’97 C36 AMG, I have done everything to fully restore this rare car and make it an attractive, comfortable and performance oriented weekend cruiser. In this video (part 1), I and my mechanic Tom Huerta will tell you in detail about the exterior and interior restoration and modifications and on the next video (part 2), I will tell you more about the engine overhaul, modification and finally driving it. Thank you for watching and please subscribe to see the next video and more other car reviews going live twice per week. #w202 #c36amg #mercedesbenz #onemanoneengine #restoredmercedes #restorationproject #e36m3 #m3 #quantummechanics #huntingtonbeach #socal

Super sweet 😋 I have a 95 c36 with 133k original miles on the dash. I wld love to do some of this to my car but I have too much projects dealing with but I wld love to put the twin turbo set up on mine. A friend of mine has the Manifold but hesitant about selling it even though he has a single set up like yours. How much a build like this cost if you don't mind saying. Great car beautiful built 👍🏾

Nice. I used to a '95 C36 in Imperial Red many years ago Lloyd. Love how many buttons the dash had... I totally understand what you're saying because several ongoing projects can definitely be costly. Doing twin turbo would be epic man. I have around $53K in it so far and think that I should need another few grand to finish her up.

I'm still waiting on the tune man. This Turbobandit 600hp full kit is not an easy kit, and my poor mechanic has not had luck with getting it running well due to the wiring harness being crappy. I stopped by today there, and we're hoping she'll be running in 2 months with some other methods he has yet up his sleeve. I will definitely update the channel because this car is my reason to start the channel. I love it the fact you have 2 W202 C36s... that's just too cool.

Let's see how much longer I'll be waiting for my C36 to be done, and then I'll be looking for the W124 E500/500E...
