Hi Franz
Nice to hear from you. I am pressing on slowly with the rebuild. Currently only busy with the 800 as it is in a much better overall condition. We have decided to use the 1000 as a donor vehicle for certain parts. Once we have completed the 800 project, we will try and find another 1000 to rebuild as we have our current 1000 as a donor vehicle.
I bought an OM314 out of an old MB800 truck, which I think we will most likely have rebuilt as I do not want to fit it without being 100% certain of its reliability. We modified the sump to fit as I could not source the correct second hand one.
We have already had the bodywork painted and are now busy with the chassis.
I am now currently waiting on a supplier in Germany to get back to me regarding a few other things I need sent here.
It is going to be an expensive excercise but well worth it I believe.
Enjoy the rain.
Cheers
Peter
