all right, I moved all the Lamborghinis out of the way. Oh wait, turned out it was just a Vespa.

as said above, I got this jeep with 82 miles. It is an AMG M151A2 from 1972, converted into an USMC MRC83A radio jeep and stored in Barstow, CA with currently around 6.000miles. I will list below what is incorrect/missing:

incorrect:
stickers except the CAUTION silicone brake fluid only
braided fuel line at input of fuel pump
clear fuel filter
vehicle data plate on firewall
ty-wraps at bowden cables for choke and fording valve
valve cover sticker replaced with new sticker, shows incorrect year

missing:
fabric loom around the vent lines from air cleaner to master brake cylinder to tank
rubber tubing around the ignition cables
undercoating at underside of hood removed

MRC83A conversion results in moving the washer bottle to the driver side, now relocated to the normal position, hence the holes where the carb vent line goes through the firewall.
Also 100A alternator was removed as part of the demill and a stock 60A alternator installed. Couple of huge holes thru the firewall for the power cables. Partly covered with the secure hood sticker.

Is that a garage or a bomb shelter? That is some serious looking construction. And impressively tight parking with the Mercedes!

the CLK is my GF car. She used to fly Citation XLS business jets, so parking a car is not such an issue for her ;)
