E420 Wagon... A Build Thread

So I bit the bullet and am moving forward with my shoestring budget, garage built M119 swap into my wagon. I'll be posting pictures along the way.
.
I've got a similar build page going on Facebook if you are so inclined...

Project: DTM Wagon

Thanks ZedStyle, I've been referencing those for a bit now.


Update:

The old engine/trans are out and I'm doing a bunch of cleaning before I start removing and replacing sheet metal.
