Re: [MBZ] Just the thing for the discerning enthusiast

Thinking about it I wonder what they did to stiffen the body, remember 
when MB cut the roof off a C124 to create the A124, they spend a lot of 
time and money to stiffen the body.

I seem to recall they made some in South Africa.
Regarding the chopped up S124, looks like a good job and even has the 
rear window wiper but what is the point? A proper S124 can carry a fair 
bit of stuff if the seats are down plus can carry up to 7 people when 
required.
The only advantage I can see is the ability to carry a BBQ without 
dismantling.

Hey Wilton

You need some new fenders for your trailer - like this.

From the one, distant photo it looks pretty good.  I think I see
hinges above the rear glass, so maybe the glass is actually a
hatch.

I still think for my lifestyle a truck bed needs to be on a
truck.  For light-duty, open bed hauling a trailer makes a lot
more sense - though a lot less flashy.

I saw a similar conversion of a W110 a while ago.  Not sure if it was an
aftermarket or "official" (e.g. maybe by Binz?) conversion.

Just what I need to drive to the next local mud bog truck pull Cajun BBQ.

It is a true testimony to what can be done with disposable income. Thanks

Wow.

That is actually a quite tasteful conversion, that looks to be done properly!

Makes me wonder if it's the end times...

Walt, who still can't believe it, even with pics...
