Greetings from Iggy (me.. Ignatius). Around 2016... we had Private George, a 1989 SWB W460 230GE auto who lived in a basement in London. He was somewhat holier than your Iggy though with MoT!! Rust me! We then in Malaysia in 2024 now have a Mercedes G2. (George Two). A 1984 LWB 300GD automatic with no chassis rust despite its age. I look to you for inspiration! thank you!
Wow… what a great story… congratulations on your move and acquisition of Georgie 2. Yep these original G’s get under your skin and into your life not matter where you go
Battery connected 👍 very very impressive, so much time...and parts put into Iggy. Great video, which I,m sure took some time to put together. Happy driving moments....
Great work..love it,, love my 86/88.. i swapped the whole body ,found donor in a barn ,rust free..almost :) and putted in a 97 290tdt engine..been running for 3 years now without any issue
wow good on ye. You were lucky to find a donor body in good condition. For some crazy reason I was determined to keep mine numbers matching, but most of the older G wagons have had very successful engine transplants and in turn breathed new life into their machines. I sometimes think im mad, ambling along in my slower engine but in a way that a part of the fun in it for me.

Hello!!1 I write from Spain, I have a G 460 class of 5 doors 300gd in the process of restoration. I hesitate between restoring the front seats or replacing them like you did in the video (min.337). Are they from a clk w208? Do they fit well in the original mercedes g bases? in general, do you recommend the change? Or is it better to upholster the originals? best regards!
Hi Angel, I hope your restoration is going well. I still have my original seats but the the clk seats are so much more comfortable. They also look great in my opinion and dont look too much out of place. To fit them isn't such a big job. For driving the clk are better but if you are making the restoration, that the end result is more for looking at than driving then I would restore the original.
Great project! How about the mechanical part of it? Is the engine original or have you replaced it? Btw. What's is the name of or where can I find the beat that kicks in around 8:45?
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the project. Mechanicals, I kept it with its original engine, numbers matching W460. Bushing and arms were all replaced a good service and i then detailed the engine. I replaced the exhaust with a full stainless steel magna flow one which transformed the performance that it can now keep up with slower moving traffic... i did say slower moving traffic. Im in preparation for my next project as ive just bought a Jaguar E Type coupe from Arizona... yep Nurse Ratchet is on stand by
Thanks a million, delighted you liked the video. Ive opted to keep my wagon completely original numbers matching so it has the 617 non turbo engine with the 4 speed manual, so im afraid Ive no dealings with the 606 engine. The guy I would recommend you to discuss this is called Guido Matthes and his website is offroad-world.com
Im so sorry for the late reply. I was confined to the couch for a couple of weeks and then I couldn't find your message. It's just over 2m high and the wheels are 16 inch
@@MrSteviewander Im sorry to nag, but do you know the dimentions? Mine are too big, i’m trying to fit it into my garage. And I still want it to look good.
Haha!... 0:46 Nurse Ratchet played by Louise Fletcher in the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She's now 88 years old but was a very good looking woman her time.
Thanks Al, glad you liked. The majority of my parts were sourced via Germany from a guy called Guido Matthes. His company is called offroad-world.com . Tell him you saw this video and made contact through me. Most of the body panels came from G's that were in Afghanistan that he supplied. Some parts from mercedes directly. Basically i kept everything original including the engine.
Thank you Mr Voort, you are most generous. They are genuine original mercedes flares that I took off an older G Wagon that was itself, going in for a later restoration. I had a lot of work to do to refurbish them and it took three people to actually fit them and get them right.
Grega Vrancic thanks Grega, the arches are the original rubber ones. A friend was taking them off his before his restoration so i made an offer. Guido Matthes off-roadworld is usually where I get my parts
Grega Vrancic you’re very welcome. There are plastic ones available on eBay but you would be better checking rubber vs plastic with your own eyes first before you make a decision. Be warned that the rubber ones have a metal core which rusts and can warp the arch/flare. Mine required a lot of patient work to restore them
It is kinda but really is a waste of time, money and a perfectly good W460. The original g wagon should be left as it is. If you try to make them look like something they are not, instead of impressing people, it advertises to the world that you can’t afford the one you really want. If you really want to follow that path, then the newer W463 lends itself better to such mods. W460s are getting rarer all the time and should be cherished for what they are.
Unfortunately it is true waste of money and time as well but I love the G wagon specially the W463 unfortunately it’s unavailable here I thought to import one from Europe I stuck again with the high value of money even 1995 is expensive So I figure out to look for 1991 g wagon not necessary to be in perfect mechanical condition and start the upgrading process step by step but the fact is I don’t know where to start
Soufyan Mohamed what part of the world are you? As in are you left hand drive or right hand drive? Possibly some of the military g wagons might suit you as a project? Contact Guido Matthes for ideas as he has worked on G wagons all his life. His website is off-road-world.com. Tell him you have seen this video and I told you to go to him for advice. Maybe he can source one for you
Thanks Colm. You just never know how much work needs to be done. The biggest hurdle was undoing all the damage from a previously horrendous restoration and that’s where a lot of the man hours went into. Good condition panels can be got but the better condition then usually the higher the price. Apart from the new panels, everything else came from G wagons that were in hot climates so zero rust. Sometimes it’s better buying a G in need of restoration so at least you know what work goes into the finished project. Then again if a resto has been fully documented then that can give you good confidence but those are rare and usually costly. Like you I spent years lusting after one and I can say now on the other side, I have no regrets... less money, more stress wrinkles but a happy outcome
I wouldn’t even consider it. A w460 is a w460, a w463 is a w463 and if you want a 2020 shape then buy a 2020 shape. Why pretend something kinda looks like something it definitely not. If someone is trying to make people believe they are richer than they are, by driving a fake vehicle they are only advertising the opposite to the world. Appreciate things for what they are
Thanks Trip, I'm afraid it doesn't fit the 460 without some fabrication, but if you're up to the job or have a friend who is then it can be done with a bit of work
@@MrSteviewander thank you that was the answer I was looking for! Update: I just purchased it yesterday! It’s all original - split doors - I’m afraid to ruin its value with modifications.
I dont have a car I want to buy this as my 1st one and restorate it from scratch Buy what about pieces price and availability in case the car has a a problem ?
a lot of parts are available new from Mercedes but there are also guys who supply good second hand parts like Guido Mathess www.offroad-world.com. Good luck with the build
Damian they’re expensive over here too these days. Loads of questions you should answer for yourself. Is it the original w460 that gets you excited or is it the newer ones? If your heart is set on a 460 then what do you plan on doing with it? Road driving? Off roading? Showing? If it’s off roading then you don’t have to be over critical as they all pick up bangs and scars. I aimed to keep mine original, all genuine Mercedes parts and panels with zero rust. I even opted for the original slower engine. There are fewer originals every day and hence maybe the price rises. The danger with buying an already restored vehicle is that you don’t know the quality of the work done. I found that out the hard way with this one as it had suffered severely under a previously TERRIBLE restoration before I bought it. If you do the work yourself at least you can cut that level of uncertainty out of the equation.
@@MrSteviewander I plan to buy it, and keep it as a daily driver. No off road or something like that I'M not a fan of that. And i'm aiming for the older ones, I don't like those new :) Old diesel would be great. I just bought Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 2001, trying to restore it, but we will see how will it end. In the future a G class will be a must, but I think i will have to sell a kidney or something, hehe :)
Just found your channel, very impressive finished project, what engine do you have? If it is the om606 or similar, you can tune it for a lot more power without loss of economy or reliability. Check out DPUK on Facebook, Mercedes diesels are what they specialize on.
Thanks a million, yep it was hard work. I kept everything original and matching numbers so its the original617 engine. Ive avoided DPUK. Im aware of them but ive seen numerous bad reports about them in various G wagon forums.
