I reckon it looks good, particularly with the exhaust tailpipes. The new chrome is going to look spectacular.
Is that a portable sun device I see in the background? ;)

What's next, fluros under the sills ;D
Actually it looks pretty good, beats the dull yellow glow. 8)
One thing I'd like to do is put something that bright in the reverse lamps. My lenses are clear but I can't see where I'm reversing in the dark. Just not bright enough. Are they LED's you're using?
I'm not sure why you are advertising your rego to the regulators of law and order in such clarity. ::)
Tell me you've wired this up to the interior light switch so you can make a safe getaway.
In the early 1990's they were proposing to ban radar detectors and I wired up a small "passport" detector to the interior light switch.
It taped up to the top of the 126 instrument nacelle inside with the instruments and I connected up an extra small speaker.
The top of a 126 instrument pod sits higher than the sight-line across the rear lip of the bonnet and in days pre-laser it gave perfectly adequate performance when picking up the K-band radar used before the multinovas and Lasers arrived and could be turned off if stopped by the constabulary using the rear interior light switch on the console.
The law never arrived but the detector sat in there for four years and worked quite adequately.

that looks pretty good i must say!

the sunburn light...laughing my ass off when i saw that...
Tims referring to these cheap lights seen in the background which burn like a wa/qld sun...quite useful in winter in the garage !
I nearly purchased one of those "sunbeam" Halogen lights but realising the temperature my shed gets to in summer I ended up with the other version of the same thing that has two large fluorescent type globes.
Much cooler on a hot summer night.

Cant install though, awaiting all the rubber pads, bolts, nuts and washers from germany.
Yes, it seems to take forever for parts to ship from Germany. Still no sign of my water pump bolts, washers and gaskets either.

Why did you order these from Germany - or was this a dealer decision ? You will get much better service if you order direct from Tom Hanson at the MB Classic Center in the US.

I print lists, bang my fists on the counter and throw them at the dealer parts guy and walk out.
:D :D Man! I just spilt my coffee reading that.
Craig, how does one contact Tom or the Classic Centre for parts?
I have a habit of ordering parts from the dealer. The next order I place will be via email to Tom at the "Classic Center", if I get my act together that is. When I get some sort of EPC happening on my computer, I'll be in business.

IS that some kind of a hint Tj ?
It was more of a subconscious hint. :D
I'm using a desktop machine, although my network drivers for the on-board Ethernet functionality are kaput, so I have resorted to wireless for the time being. It sounds like I will need to get that in a stable state before contemplating the EPC.

Both EPC and WIS require stable computers.
I see the lastest 2007 Windows combined version of EPC and WIS are for sale on e-bay for about $50

I got EPC to run on XP after a struggle, and now have it on an old Win2000 machine in the shed. I have the newer EPC - does anyone know if it can be bludgeoned into working on Vista?
I have both the EPC and WIS circa 2004 versions running on a three or four year old Laptop running XP pro.
I wouldn't even try to run it on vista.
Even the 2007 windows version of EPC and WIS combined version does not mention Vista in it's listings.
