Not to disparage anyone (I a _very_ frugal man MYSELF), but for some consumers of the finer marques, dropping $10k or $20k on such a conversion is not out of the question. Let's not get bent out of shape if this project costs more than all four of my last Mercedes purchases put together!

Owning a G-wagon with an OM606 would be a wonderful thing. I'd love to see how this comes together.
