    Oo. I like this. I have bad luck with batts so could definitely use this. Haha. Especially with the diesel since it takes so much power to crank

      Om601 in all its 4 banger diesel glory. Need clean up the hardlines. Still need to remove all the egr vac lines. Get some new vac lines and re plum the system.

      Tuck the wire harness also. Now resides in the fenders.

        Made a little cover to replace the stupid cassette tape holder. Now holds my fan switch and mk2 vdo volt meter.



        Stealth mount amp in the emergency kit bay. No use for 30yr old supplies anyways. Need to drop it lower to the latch can close.

            Not sure on the wheel colour, but I love everything else about this! I need to delete my tape-holder too. Was thinking cupholders since mine doesn't have any.

              I like the wheel color a bit more. Anyways getting stuff done today. Realized the windshield has some sealing issues. So i removed it and in the process of cleaning it up at the moment.

              Pushing the glass up here. Went all around the glass. Seems like the original.



              A little 80s trick. When they installed the glass the put a wire in between the seal. Made my life much easier. Simple pull the wire and its out.





              Stoked that theres no rust even tho its been leaking for what seems to be a loooong time. Explains the wet dog smell when i first got the car years ago.

                Read the adhesive tube when you buy new adhesive. I think Window Weld takes like 24 hours to be drivable. When I was in the business I used Sika MoveIT. Was good to go in an hour. Also, warm the tubes in boiling water before you dispense it. That stuff is a pain when its cold.

                        And its back in. Hood got a coat of olive spruce. Not in love with it, but better than looking at a primered hood. I'll let it dry for a couple days and wetsand it to get ride of the stripping.

                          I like the red ones, I'm probably going to get mine tinted red. Also nice e cig setup, what battery is that? mine dies too fast, looking to pick up a bigger one.

                            Im using some sanyos off ebay that work really well for 1-1.8ohm tanks/builds. I got some sony vtc4s for the sub ohm clouds.

                            I like the red tails too, but the ambers match up with ambers up front. The ass does look boring though. Might just throw em on.

                              Nice, you should buy some clear tun signals and tint them to match your headlights tint, I was also going to wrap the sides of mine in amber vinyl or amber tint to look like these. The all amber turn signals don't work with the white/grey two tone on my car, but just clear kinda bothers me too.

                              I saw these on ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W20...-/400542685452 but they were way priced. I figure i could make my own look nicer.
