new website coming up for mods

Hey guys, I finally decided to get my own server and host my website. It will be a site just for mods and how to's for mercedes cars. Mainly the w203 becuase that is what I have. It will have instructions for many things including the install of the comand system, (orders from steve though), Audio 10 Install, etc. I will post names of anyone who has contributed to the site as they deserve the proper credit for the work. Anyone who wishes to have their work put on the site can just email me. If I take any work from the mbworld forum, I will get permission from each individual before posting it on my website.

Site Name

The Site name is www.mercedesmods.com I already registered it. Working on the webpages at the moment. I am acutally out of the country at the moment with my powerbook . I don't have any web design software for it yet. Any help would be appreciated. Need a coverpage still. So far I have details for the following mods for the w203

1. Comand Install
2. Audio 10 Install
3. Parktronic Install Rear
4. Auto Dim Mirror Install
5. Lighted Door Sill Install
6. Heated Seat Install
7. Bixenon Install
8. Headlight washer install (partial)
9. TV tuner retrofit
10. Power folding mirror install (partial)
11. CD Changer Install

I will try and be complete with part numbers and places to aquire the parts. (mainly Steve) Let me know if anyone has addon that I can put on the page. Not familiar with the DAS?

I have a site for my 1969 6.3. One of the most important things to post are CONFIRMED MB part numbers.

My web site is at http://members.tripod.com/~breastrok...sBenzM100.html

I will help out putting parts numbers for the 2003 C230K coupe.

Let me know if I can be of service. I write internet applications for a living. Sounds like a cool idea.

Sounds like the c-coupe.info website except you won't have any pulley installation instructions.

It would be nice if you actually asked the authors of those instructions for permission to copy them, rather than simply taking them and assuming a byline is acceptable. It would be especially necessary to do this for photographs.

new email address

The previous email address is not working yet. Please email me at drsunilpatel@hotmail.com I still need lots of info for the site. I have a few of the mods pages completed. I need permission from "session" to use his audio 10 install with pictures and from Dick Gleason for his Nokia install. Anyone have Mr. Geason's email address?

Re: sure thing

Dr. Patel, this is an old post but I wanted to check out your website (www.mercedesmods.com is not working). I wanted to thank you again for your help on my MB Nokia kit install. I notice you're in TX, I live in Houston, PM me if you ever visit Houston and I'll take you out for lunch/dinner or drinks. Take care.

Keith

I was searching for details on how to add a rear sunshade and there isn't much info to be found, this looked like a lead that might help but the info is missing from his site.

that is very true.... some guys never win. If they don't search, they get the usual: STFF. If they search & bring back from the dead, they get the usual: OLD THREAD !

anyway,
how is SUNMAN's mod website, is it still running ?
I have quite a few step-by-step threads posted all around these forums.
Despite the 2003 date, will have to check it out, and send him the links if needed. It WAS and IS a great idea !

it does not work for me either.
That's why I asked, if it is still running.
I know SUNMAN has a website for his own mods with pictures, but it's not the same one as described in his original 2003 postings.
