My new project


Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

So I got myself a new project to deal with and hopefully it'll stay with me for a longer time for every day use (work and back etc.)

So here it goes.

It's an 92' Mercedes-Benz CE-230. 97kw 2.3 engine. At this time I've figured it takes around 12-13l / 100km but I guess in the summer it's a bit less in the city, on an highway it stays around 8-9l / 100km.

When I bought it the buyer gave the bass speakers (not subwoofers) with it also the amplifier with the car.

There are some minor flaws that I need to work on so it looks "perfect". For example the driver side door lock doesn't work for some reason, will take it to a locksmith to see if it's worth to repair it or I should just switch all the locks out. In the interior the passanger side cluvbox (?) doesn't close properly and both of the moving seatbelt feeders also don't work (need to figure out why first).

Some pictures.

I'm also very pleased at this point. There are some things I need to do with the interior. Also made some new pictures with it.

This is the condition that the passanger seatbelt feeder is in, the last owner didn't do a goob job trying to take it apart :(

Some kinda "immobilizer" that he put in it. Works good tho lol.

Front speaker. Need to figure out how to get it back into the box so it won't pop out again.

And last a decent front and rear view.

Also, 500E is a perfect choise. Hopefully You'll find a decent condition ;)

You mean the big Merc on the front? If so then yea that's the priority on my list, I also don't really like it.

No, I mean the tow hitch ...

And now that you've mentioned it, two Mercedes-Benz stars on the front is overkill. One of them needs to be removed.

It actually fits some coupes but not with this hood.

Good, the 'sports grill' doesn't fit your car. It fits some of the newer Benz's, like my CLS.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
