I would rather have this one. this looks like it was put together with a lot more care. The color scheme is better too. Although it looks like the rear springs need to be a bit stiffer. I found this one a while back on the German Wikia I think, it's been in my pics file for awhile.

No need for room behind front seat for a gas tank, so you don't have that awkward space to try and finish out. I like that one.....

What I would like to see...

Chad,

Can you lose the camper top and turn the W126 into an Estate? I always thought a nice S-class wagon would rock!
