Cool, I was hoping you'd post pics of this.

Is that a factory carpet kit in there? I can't see the floor well enough. I also can't see if you have lockers or not. I see the slots but not the knobs.

And can I convince you to return the headlight surrounds (which, if original, will be rubber on metal) to black!? 8) Or you can buy new ABS ones pretty cheaply. Unfortunately some of the past owners of these things (the ones that dont seem to understand what they really are) will often try to paint them to try to match the patterns of the newer 463 series where the front end is all one color. Originally those surrounds, fender-flare and bumper would have been black... grill too probably.

Paul, shall I put one of these winch bumpers on the wish list?

Vince, here's a couple more shots of the carpeting. I think it's the factory kit but not sure. No lockers - I'd like to have them but for my uses I really don't need them.

The black front end is a maybe. I've been retouching some photos to get an idea of how it would look.

Where are these popping up? is there a "G" forum out there?

I want something like this, the Pinz just isn't cold weather friendly for a family of four.

It is if you use the eberspacher.

It's a carb thing, more than a heat thing.

So far all I've found is the badges/nameplates. All the parts come from Mercedes but I've heard are also available from Steyr.
