My 6.9's

[rumb]

More photos, rear axle installed and almost everything else completed. Just got new fuel hose from tank, old one wasnt MB and it wanted to kink. MB one is much better cohline dbl wall hose.

Just prior I used shims to set the side bearing caps to proper gear backlash.

Can you spot the extra fuel pump for the Webasto?

[McNuggets]

Breathtaking beauty. I didn't know the webasto had its own pump. Is it original to your car?

[rumb]

Car has factory install of Webasto heater. Though not original to car I am adding heated seats front and rear.

Car has 4 wheels and tires "on" the ground for first time in +4 years! All under car work completed! Wont get to try raising suspension for a while as I am doing body work and painting the radiator support next and radiator is currently out of car.

[Neil4speed]

Wow!!! that must have felt great. remember to take a video of the inaugural suspension raising!

I found a NOS Anthracite hat shelf on ebey.de. These are extremely hard to find.  I think he has some more if anyone is interested.

Been chipping away on radiator support and cowl area doing body work. Will post photos soon.

Indeed to find a NOS parcel shelf in the colour you want for sane asking is like winning the Powerball

I think he has some other colors also.

This is not at all NOS but a copy.
The seller is aka 'Altstern Sonderausstattungen' and others: a notorious bunch. Just look and compare the 'business seller information' further down.


If you magnify the edges of the lid of the first aid kit you will see that they are not the unique welded plastic.

I am not saying that the piece is necessarily bad. I revised mine a couple of yeras ago and was able to maintain the welded plastic edges. But this is a delicate job and not for evereybody.
The way the shown pieces are done are not too complicated and may be done locally at a lower price.

Indeed watch out this outfit goes by many handles on ebay they are notorious shysters.

Oh snap.  Im still glad I got one, though the $ high.

Going back it was my bsd to think NOS. he does state made from original fabric. And the seam is still better than anything I could do.

[floyd111]

y'all beat me to it.
Yes, the Juelich brother.. and not NOS.

It had to be. Multiple hat shelfs simply do not pop up, 50 years after.
But these brother will keep popping up..

Remember how they screwed me with the W116 suitcases?
After having bought at least 5000 euros in goods from them, suddenly there were 2 half sets of suitcases available from 2 sellers.
So, I told them I would be buying half a set of W116 suitcases elsewhere.
We agreed on a price where they would sell me THEIR half.
Once I bought the first half, they tripled the price of the half they would sell me, thinking they left me with no choice but to cough up the extra cash.
I walked.
Been walking since.

[rumb]

Ha, they raised the price to 350 euro!
