that's the way it always turns out, anger and violence, never solve anything, and it's always the poor Mercedes that gets the brunt of it...

well, I've got it on the road, and it drives SOOOO well, shifts so smooth and strong@! I love it. it needs a front end refresh and rotors all around. also a/c is a hack job and the radio is not present... sooo, it's still got some edges to polish... but it's getting there!

That plug to the right under the rear deck is not for the SLS. That is the vent lines for the fuel tank.

safari rack (of my own design) - not quite done though! need to add more of a deck for luggage and things. but it's quite beefy for strapping down lumber, cargo boxes, etc.
