It's a Finnish Merc that, the video was shot in Latvia though. There's apparrently a whole subculture here based around these tuned old diesel warhorses. They call 'em Super Turbo Diesels. Most are based on 300d engine as the block on 'em is quite bulletproof and can handle huge power with...

After a bit of forum archeology it seems that the nuts are 10mm. Only problem is, that I seem to have one missing. No worries though, MOT is only tomorrow. :dead:

Seems to be common enough. Just found out today that my 182's fuel rail guard had loosened up to the point that it is now only barely hanging on to the rest of the engine. It was rattling as hell when I started her up. Only heard it because I had the bonnet open. Lucky I did, or the guard would...

Used to have quite dark tints myself. Liked the privacy they provide but never did love the inevitable van look. Some shots with and without tints:

Not huge amounts of the white stuff up here. But the weather has nonetheless been quite nippy, ranging from 10 to 20 below freezing for a few weeks now. Studded tires are the biz. :rasp:

Beautiful! Really liking the rat-look of it. The uglier the better, absolutely. BUT... I would definately polish up all the bits out of sight that make it move. It would make a fabulous contrast between a run down outside and beautifully finished (out of sight) top notch mechanicals. How...

Nice work! Dang you. I was planning on leaving the roof lining alone on mine, but this tread definately got me thinking. :D My lower dash, including steering column and centre console, will be Alcantarized™ during this winter. Have already consulted some professional upholsterers and gotten...

Wow, a rear engined Willy. Never seen that before. Thumbs up on the roof rack. :D

Modded Supersprint? Wow, no expense spared there. Looks superb.

Looks brilliant! What exhaust is that? Gotta love the look of those tips.

I wish. Haven't had the time yet. Got some handy looking snap-on splice clips for the wiring though.

Propably yes. Will have to find out where these wires lurk. They should run somewhere along the door frame. Took a look at the lights I bought. Seems ok. Hopefully they are brighter than the ones you used Jez. After all, they were advertised as "Super Bright". :rolleyes: Here's one of the...
