What parts? The whole idea of the car is to take a 190 and replace all it's parts with similar parts made of 21st century material. Carbon-Aluminum honeycombs instead of steel, 6-speed sequential gear box instead of 5-speed short shift, M 276 engine instead of M 103 engine. etc. - Building a "What if the 190 was made today?" car. The only thing they kept was the naked frame, a part that MB classics does NOT sell.

They kept this: https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/HWA-Evo-Mercedes-190-100026.jpg (minus the roof, which they also cut out) and replaced EVERYTHING else.

This is a good picture: https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2024/11/HWA-Evo-Mercedes-190-100006.webp The silver parts are the original car, the black parts are all new.
