Best Buy 4 The Build

[Gill]

Hi all,
First time new guy here. I joined to exploit the wealth of knowledge of the members here. I am looking to buy and build up, a little or alot, a Mercedes C Class and dont really know alot about them. I am in Washington State and regularly see older C Classes for sale for a decent price. Some where around the model years 2007 and newer. What are the most common platforms to start with? Id like to pit together a bad ass commuter. Not looking for 500 hp or anything more crazy, but a fun daily that still scares the wife. Any and all input welcome!

Thanks,
Gill

Greetings and a warm welcome to you from me, Waynne, the forum admin. I would like to apologize for my delayed response to your joining request and any messages you may have sent recently. Unfortunately, I had to deal with some family health problems, and recently, I contracted Covid, which caused the delay.

But now that I'm feeling better, I'm thrilled to welcome you all to our community. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourselves, and I'm excited to hear about your passion for automotive projects and interests. I'm confident you'll find a wealth of information and friendly members here.

The more power you start with the easier it is to modify and upgrade. The compressor engines are pretty good solid options. Even the diesels are good options if you can get them over there but I know diesel never really took off in the USA.
