These were 2 door chassis. Yours is a 4 door. It's a little bit more complicated. Before u start to cut it off u need to reinforce the bottom with a u shaped metal rod. If u have time reinforce the drive shaft tunnel do this also. I have never seen a heavy set thai person before!!! lol. With 4 heavy gringo's u might have problems!!!!! U defrocked the car already it's not a Mercedes anymore.

wow not many will say its a good idea!!! i tried to find info on doing it on internet but nothing really available and not many people seem to have done it.....and should be unusual in still being a four door after ( dont know if all four doors will open though ).
What thickness of metal rod are you talking about ....and i will try and get them to reinfoce as much as possible including driveshaft tunnel but as my thai is not good and there english is not either then i will hope for the best and do a lot of pointing where i want reinforcements......i will take into consideration weight of passengers
