RE: Navigation System?

Curious about the display mounted on the dash. What functions does it support? Is it an off the shelf system or a custom setup? If off the shelf what make/model?

Thanks.

Where did the fuel filler go?


In it's old location it would have interfered with proper location of the AMG badge, so it had to go! It's in the factory 463 location just aft of the right rear wheel arch. That's some pretty ambitious "badge engineering". Congrats on the relentless pursuit of what you wanted. Next I want to see pix of how you shoe-horn the blown V8 under the hood!

Nice work!

Well Jack, its likely the west coast g-treffen in Oregon will hit the dunes again this year, fathers day wknd. Jonathan Joseph and Inkblotz made the pilgramage last year. We'll get it annouced over here soon. A little prep and website updating to do yet. The dunes themselves are worth the effort. The gathering was just the icing.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery Project - Before & After Pics

once again, can you elaborate more on the two antenna or aerial devices on the rear roof (names, where you purchased and use) please? I remember reading the answer to similar question when it was asked in another thread however I was unable to find it.

G cosmetic surgery project looks great!

It keeps the G from going wheelie

Its for decoration, but some put similar antennas for their radios, GSM boosters or Wi-Fi routers.
