 Hi peeps,

  The names Mark and I'm building a Mercedes Surf wagon. So far I have a W460 chassis and running gear, an Isuzu Grafter for its 3lyr engine & G'box and a Toyota Surf to cut down to make a cab, and a lot of questions as I'm a total G noob. My last build was this Land Cruiser Truck cab Lexus V8 that I made from a LJ70.

 It's a small world!!! I don't think we need miss Marples to work out that you must of been the one who sold it to the G wagon dealer in Luton, I guess you remember it looking more like this:-

No Lenny, going to use a Mk2 Surf as they're 8" shorter (from sill to roof) than the G wagons body.

   Mark....

  PS never rolled it in 5yrs of trialing
