the "black edition" G wagen ute..now getting a 606
hi guys, I'M sure a few of you have seen pictures of one of my other projects the black edition, as I like to call its another swb truck cab with a alloy drop side body.
this has been built to a higher standard (read more time consuming) than the ktm G wagen, as I plan on using it as a daily-ish driver, I didn't paint this one myself, its merc 199 black by the way, but as with the orange one Ive made every thing for it myself, apart from wheels,tyres and lights.
hope to get most of the exterior back together over christmas, have to get my old man in realy good form for lifting the cage back on with our hiab, Id think Id cry if the paint got scratched!!
any way Ill post more pictures as it comes along!
this is what it looked like befor being striped for painting/shot-blasting/power-coating etc
powder-coated bumpers, cage, and rock-sliders
you are definately sick......... :!:
well at least you are making peter perfect sick :P
good luck mick, glad you joined the club :!:
got a bit done on it today
definatley too much time on your hands !
he's worse than a bloody cypriot.... :!: :!:
:lol:
here's were I'm at thus far, just waiting on mirror base rubbers and badges, then they can go on then the out side is pretty much done apart from fitting the exhaust of course, then its on to the inside!
looking mean!!
what springs are fitted on this one mick?
Its a beauty!
I just wanna know how green Peter Perfect is... :twisted:
Man that is a (to use the term of the hood) wicked set of Wheels.....

I have as it happens, ive been building a new cage/back end, mini ground anchor, for my utv, and a new winch bumper for it, just finished painting the body work, bonnet, wings, grille etc, bmw hot orange, and have done the cage and bumper in vw charcoal grey.
no 1/2 scale G front end for it though, still has the grand Cherokee style front on it which is a shame, its nearly finished, just to wire lights cb etc will post pictures soon, but will be getting back to finishing the black edition this week, promise!
Mick, I hope that interior works out for you. A worthy project!
come on mick, whats been happening on the G front, you must have done something these past few months
though I would show you guys what Im up to with this at the moment......now where will get some Louis vuitton (spelling :? )print from?? :wink:
Oh dear, interior bling!
'how frightfully ghastly!' haha
though it could be better/worse....

nothing superfluous here! :wink:
In fact could do with a few more switches!
might have to move the electric window ones, as need one for electric fans, and want to do a hi and low boost setting via a 12v solenoid valve switching to a bleed type valve...but might scrap that with the impending 606 install! :D
It must get very hot inside that G... with those two big speakers and no air vents.... perfect for you Spanish summer hols! :lol:
