Or is it a G230? whatever it it its going to be a G500 lol.

I been into G classes and finally got around to start working on the g class again.

I didnt take any pics of when I cut the hood, engine, and chassis. Here some recent pics of what I have done

Engine from tamiya 500SL, had to make new headers as the stock tamiya ones didnt fit in the chassis, made 2 sets. 1st set didnt fit too wide, 2nd set better but does not look real. Interior added steering wheel from tamiya 500sl, added some recaro sportster seats, added a center screen. Build grill guard which still needs more work. Widemed te fender flares.

Looking great! Cool conversion, that engine looks realy tight in there but it works IRL so it should work in 1/24 as well! And i think those headers looks spot on! Where did you get the hi-jack?

Good work!

Good work!

thx. I made new headers after I saw friends G63 exhaust setup. The exhaust comes out to the wheel wells and outside the chassis rails. So I wasted all that time making some nice looking headers.
