[motec6.9]

Hi Nathan just an update but there is a custom radiator business in Perth called browns Radiator Service Unit 5,35-37 William St Beckenham 6107 (08) 94518093 claim they can custom make for any vehicle

thanks motec
i ordered a new w463 radiator and had it custom fit to the w460. all sorts of random custom work; piping., shrouds, oel cooler and so on.
needless to day, it was not cheap!
just awaiting the electrics and i saw the G today, the electrician opened the garage to show it to me whilst i was back from melbourne!
will try and attach some pics soon

[nathan]

after going back to perth a few weeks ago, i remember i took some pics post radiator installation. awaiting electrics now! this is like a 3 year project, bloody hell!

Time flies. It's a top quality job though, with lots of custom work.

It shall be awesome when complete.

Looks fantastic Nathan - quite amazing seeing a bug-free radiator in front of an M117!

thats awesome. sounds great.
cant wait to see some more video!

Still waiting on aircon, alarm and some other stuff but shouldn't be long. That noise washes away the pain of the expense of the exhaust! Almost. I've been working on the "making of" vid but need the g back to complete it.

Faaaark yeah.. I can't say enough times how sexy that engine bay is.  The whole project has been done beautifully.. So keen to see it in the flesh one day.

You'd have to take out the modified division of a concourse wouldn't you??

Very nice Nathan.

We'll have to have drag race over road and bog between your G500 my ML500 and your dads GL500.
