Re: My Workhorse Before the Mods ......

Nice ride never seen those wheels before. What are those lights for on your bumper? Are the required by your country?

The wheels are not MB wheels they are some old GM wheels. I will be replacing them with original MB ones soon. The lights are a requirement here just some reflectors really.

Harald

You will be seriously amazed at the creativity here. I bought them that way and have not figured it out yet. My mechanic is almost illiterate but he can't count the number of G engine swaps he's done. He's just swapped out my diesel engine in the 300GD to gas M104. He took out all the injections and fitted it with a caburetor and that thing flies. A lot of the modern mechs just cant believe what they see when i pop up the hood.

RE: My Workhorse Before the Mods ......

Probably whats called a "fill and drill" where the old holes are filled in with weld, then new holes are drilled for pretty much any pattern.

Like this:
