Wow! I can't believe old 2002 G500 can look like 2016 G63! Great job, man! It looks fantastic inside and outside!
I got few questions:
1) Steering wheel seems to be from a different Mercedes. I wonder if you managed to enable all buttons or some of them don't work?
2) Head Unit is Android or stock? It's hard to tell by looking at that pic #6.
3) Leather looks very nice! Did you make leather by yourself or did you use a shop? If you used a shop please share their name.
4) How much did you invest in this build including parts and labor?
Thanks!

1) Steering wheel seems to be from a different Mercedes. I wonder if you managed to enable all buttons or some of them don't work? ((((most work for basic functions like volume and scrolling and selecting))))
2) Head Unit is Android or stock? It's hard to tell by looking at that pic #6. (((( Android. Needs to be replaced. Its a faulty one, screen shows upside down, everything is in reverse))))
3) Leather looks very nice! Did you make leather by yourself or did you use a shop? If you used a shop please share their name. ((((I had a shop stitch everything and do all the seats. I did the gluing myself, you can see the process in the thread photos. TONY_STITCHES, did the work, you can find him on IG))))
4) How much did you invest in this build including parts and labor? ((((haha... good question.....3 years and I stopped counting
)))

Thank you!! I think if you could estimate the investment it could be useful for others who plan to do the same.
If I was in WA I'd definitely checked it. I'm a bit stuck in Delaware now. Anyway it you didn't tell us this is G500 I wouldn't even notice that, instead I'd think it's another G63!

I purchased $15,000 worth of 2016 G63 parts from a forum member who was converting his brand new G63 in to Brabus 4x4 squared.
Everything from headlights, grille, brush guard, wheels, exhaust, front and rear brakes, struts, springs, rear bumper, rear spare assembly, rear axle shafts and bunch of other parts.
50% of rest of the parts were purchased brand new from dealer.

I haven’t established the price yet.
It’s not easy to price a car like that with that type of restoration/modifications.
I will try to come up with a price as soon as possible.

No more MB:(
I followed your epic build thread, partly sad to see you sell it after all that painstaking work but I understand. It's a helluva project. Good luck and hope you get your price.

It would have made sense to come up with the price before you placed the ad. You are asking people to be serious but you also have to be a serious seller. I am G wagon buyer but have no clue what you are asking?

New, old Mercedes and REAL AMG's.
At what point in the midst of a project like this does the owner take a step back and asks himself: "How much time, money and labor am I spending on building a "G63"? Should I get a real G63 instead?!".
One can never know what motivates humans to use their resources one way or another. Yet I am happy someone else went thru this exercise as it looks very beautiful.

I took it off the market and parked it in storage for about a year because I wanted to address a couple of items and was busty. It’s out of storage right now. I am working on addressing a couple more things and then it’s gonna go up for sale again. Should be ready in 2 to 3 weeks.

Hello everyone
My G500 is back on the market and is FOR SALE.
I was not able to get the fuel gauge to work with the new 2010 cluster so original style cluster is going back in and Im going to be selling the new one that I purchased from the dealer and has been on my car since the restoration.
My asking price is $69,900 OBO (within reason)
Never driven in a heavy rain or in dirt
Vehicle drives good, no issues.
Haven't driven the car for the last year or so. Been stored in a dry garage.
Im going to get it fully detailed outside in the next few days.
Interior is still in mint condition.
I will be listing it on Ebay as well in the next few days.
DM me with any questions or offers
**Serious inquiries only**
