Looks good in it's new location just got to start the swap

Nice one

So i bought a donor vehicle from Kapiti coast and have transported that to lower hutt and listed it on trade me as wrecking. took it for a drive to check out how well the car ran if there were any obvious issues etc. All the warning lights that were on when i collected the car are no longer there ...

That's a good lean to, should allow you tinker away especially with daylight savings ten days away!! Love the old sticker on the back window, hat address does not even exist anymore :shock: yeah it should work well. have a double garage on the property as well. we should catch up things have ...

So who is a good certifier in Wellington

and finally the G looks quite at home in its new spot

So the G wagen has been relocated from Yoricks shed to Lower Hutt hasn't quite made it to my shed yet as there isn't quite enough room to get that trailer down my drieway will get a towie to relocate it this week hopefully tomorrow 20230910_093658atiamuri.jpg 20230910_131951bulls.jpg Now I have no ...

1997-2005 after that they went to a unibody setup when they were initially developing the original MLs they were planning on using them to replace the g wagen but then they got trendy

A suggestion you may not of thought of is a W163 Mercedes Benz engines vary in size from 2.7l turbo diesel to 5.5 litre V8 they have a chassis with low range and and the traction control helps get around the issues with wheel lift they are quite cheap at the moment if it is going to be just a toy i ...

Hey guys sorry for digging up an old thread but my plans for this week have changed due to lockdown in Hamilton so we will be spending a few extra days in and around Taupo and Tokoroa at Yoricks place and the thought occurred we are in a 4wd why not use it don't want anything to hardcore as i only ...

Hey Wellywood peeps i have moved back to the Wellington region and recently bought a Mercedes ML270 which I am keen to use on shiny and possibly scratchy trips I still have the g wagon sitting in Yoricks shed one day I might get around to finishing it and my new wheels can tow it. Anyway the reason ...

I have had a bit of a rethink about this project and am seriously considering paying someone to fit the engine and transmission and get it certed. Yes i know it is a big call. I rang the guy who owns Mercworxs just out of Tirau the other day for a rough idea of price and he told me $6k which isn't ...

sweet great to see another build thread on here i will admit my first reaction when reading this thread was looking for the like button but i realised we don't do that here and after another recent thread on here i decided to actually post something sadly i can't remember the last time i posted here

i'm surprised there is an aftermarket diff centre available for the korando. you wouldn't think the demand would be there. Any other aftermarket stuff for them? Do they have a big following in a particular country?(don't say Korea!) :) these things are built with commonly available parts in the ...
