Kobzarhomes

Thank you. The plan is to have it finished in 2-3 months.... (that's the plan at least)

Kobzarhomes

Installed rear rotors and calipers.

You definitely know your way around a wrench! Keep the pics coming.

Grew up helping my dad in the shop and learned allot : )

Installed passenger side G63 rotors and calipers on my G500. After searching for brake wear sensors, I found a set from Dodge Sprinter, they fit G63 brake pads and plug perfectly in to G500 brake wear cable. Brand new ABS sensor as well. Had to modify the plug on ABS sensor to work with G500 plug that's on the harnes.

Covered calipers to avoid any scratches or chipping.

Stock G500 wheels did not fit, so G63 wheels had to come out of the storage

Driver side rotors and calipers went on today. Cleaned exhaust heat shield's. Working on attaching the G63 AMG exhaust system.

Kobzarhomes

Working on cleaning, restoring and painting exterior door handles.

Kobzarhomes

Cool!! Thanks for the info!! Appreciate you posting your progress. All the best!

Kobzarhomes

Took the running board brackets to sand blaster. Tried cleaning one by myself but too many angles so I gave up.

Kobzarhomes

Painted the running board brackets after getting them sandblasted

Kobzarhomes

Installed exhaust on the passenger side. I kept the header flange stock and welded G63 exhaust to it. To hide the weld I used "titanium header heat wrap". I think it came out looking pretty nice 👍









All new oxygen sensors (front and rear)

Thank you

Im surprised you started with a G chassis to begin with. At this point I fully expect you to form your own frame and stamp your own body panels using average tools in your garage.

Kobzarhomes

G wagon is a fairly simple and basic construction vehicle. You don't need fancy tools to work on it. 👍👍

Kobzarhomes

Yesterday I test fitted the front end parts. Everything fits perfectly (few tweaks were needed but no sweat). Almost ready for paint.

Kobzarhomes

Created a custom reinforcement bar to keep the end of the bumper from jiggling around and aligned with the fender.

How does the G63 exhaust sound with the 5.0? Loud?

Also- looks like you did the G63 downpipes in addition to mufflers, correct?

Kobzarhomes

Haven't had a chance to start it up with G63 exhaust, left side is not on yet. Hopefully within next week.

Yes, it's a full exhaust, from headers out.
