Re: new member

Welcome to the GWOA Bill,

Queries about your vehicle or any Mercedes would be of great help to helpers if the chassis number can be furnished; this applies when dealing with dealers as well, always have your chassis number at hand.

May I suggest that you include this detail in your forum signature.

Re: new member

I know it won't be to all tastes but it gets lots of attention and people ask what it is all the time, hopefully introducing new people to the beauty of the G. PIC 3 shows the original wheels the seller supplied with G, having to keep in my kitchen for now.lol

Re: new member

your rear springs look low, if the car wasn't heavily laden it might be worth checkingh them out as they are a consumable item on the g-wagen

Re: new member

 I don't quite know what to make of the tyres/wheels, personally I wold have kept the wheels/tyres it came with. I presume you won't be taking it off road with the current setup.

Hi, not sure myself, as shown in pic 3 I have the original wheels with good tyres, the only thing I not that keen on is white lettering but am going to get a price to turn the rubber then try them on. Thanks
