Excuse my ignorance..

I can't believe they put M103's in those things :eek: What was that?? 8MPG's?

Are you using transmission mounts as motor mounts? Primary fuel lines looks a tad too short to me.

Jeff is a very nice guy, glad he was able to help you out.

M_G 09-02-2011 08:38 PM

Yes they used M 103 to '94; 10 MPG :mad:.
Original G wagen motor mounts.
The fuel lines are fine, enough slack.
Jeff was super nice to me, he help me with tweaking the pump.

maybe one day I will find one in my price range.

Looks neat. how does the power compare with the 103?

TheDon 09-02-2011 09:08 PM

Wow they really cram stuff in there.

Hard to say - finished it today and didn't drove it much, for now looks much more powerful than the M 103.

It only looks like that, actually there is less stuff than the car.

I'm fairley jealous
 
Nice work, should be a much nicer vehicle. I looked at a G-Wagen before buying my Toyota but there were no reasonably priced ones out there. You have what seems to be the optimal conversion. Cheers Dan
