Well, not new.... but looks the part. Just after I brought it back from Tenerife I took it straight to Tomás Morenofor a face lifting :D

It is now officially a G300 Diesel, briefly offered by Mercedes in early 1994:

I really like the no wheel arch extensions look. Doesn't your other one look the same? (No wheel arch extensions).

No, my other one had the "fender flares" but I also quite like the spartan look of this one... Among so many Gs on steroids it really stands out!

Re: My new G300 diesel

sorry for that
nice i have a twin g in spain. very nice my friend have good fun, what size are your rims? also is your engine the 603, what temp is runing during summer, mine when i push it goes up to 100 celcius, the only solution is to open more holes on the cylinder head. here we test one, so far is ok but i want also to test it during winter time to see if goes up to normal temp.

have a nice summer

Your temp sounds about right, these engines run hot. Leave it alone.

I have to disagree; I drive my G300 flat out on long uphill inclines in the motorway with 40 degrees and the AC at full blast and the engine does not exceed 85 degrees. In fact, after refurbishing the cooling system I have never seen it exceeding 85.

This is after I fitted new Hela radiator, thermostat and a smaller water pump pulley capable of keeping temp low in scorching heat.
