2014 !!

Bump only 6 Years so far - been taking lesson from Nibby

[mercutio]

Yeah I know even my GF is hassling me she has never seen it running LOL

[mercutio]

I recently came to the realisation I have owned this thing for 10 years and it has been off the road as a project for the last 8

[rokhound]

Keep it up. It make me feel better about the Mutt having sat in the shed for 2.5 years

[mercutio]

i need to source some funds so i can set up a work space at the new digs and then move the G down here too. bit hard to work on it when it is 6 hours drive away

[mercutio]

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 that much more than i think it will cost me to do. If i do it i need a handy workspace and time neither of which i have at the moment so thinking paying someone who has done the conversion before will get it on the road much sooner so could actually join a club and start to use and enjoy it, it has been parked in Yoricks shed for way too long.

any thoughts

Holy grave dig! its only been 10 years man. Better to get it done now than never

[Petemcc]

you won't regret that decision. Get it done and get driving it.

[coxsy]

yorick still lives , my god the world hasn't changed then

[mercutio]

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

Now I have no excuses besides money lol

[mercutio]

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

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 the engine has plenty of pull from low down this engine and trans is going to be a great swap.

just gotta ring a certifier and make things happen now

[mercutio]

I thought I had posted pics earlier but obviously not

The donor vehicle at pickup

and in the garage awaiting engine removal

engine removal

engine and trans in the corner awaiting the swap

I now have to remove all the electrical stuff i need from the donor vehicle and then i can actually do something about getting this thing back on the road
