Oops hit send too fast! Brilliant work Ian all the best with it.

Thanks guys, it certainly took a lot longer than expected ;)

Got all Webasto 90S hydronic system operational, pretty noisy on start-up.

It then gets a bit quieter.

It can heat up the engine to full operating temperature in about 20 minutes. It heats up the hot water tank to shower temperature in about 5 minutes, and also heat up the camper really quickly. Not going to see much use in QLD for a few months other than as an engine pre-heater, but when we go overseas it will be a necessity.

I get the mod plates early next week, the engineer is happy with all the modifications. I will finish off all the cab upholstery in a day or two, fit all the a/c ducting and the ceiling panels and the cab will be finished. The grey water tank arrives on Friday, and should just slot in, all I have to make is a tie-down strap. Then it's just putting the second fuel tank back on, and getting the HVRAS forms and Safety Certificate, then I can register it.

I had a Vehicle Valuer come around to do a proper appraisal so we can get it insured and he valued it a quite a lot higher than I thought it would be, glad to see all the hard work paid off.

Been playing around in Photoshop with some graphics as well.

Say no to graphics!!

Iain, I have a good mate (in Brizzy) that wraps stuff for a living,, PM me if interested;)

Very interesting thread! Surprised I've not found it earlier! Awesome build. I was in Brizzy last weekend, and I'd have come said hello if I'd seen this a few weeks ago. Will be following with interest as I'm soon to be embarking on my own build.. also on a Mercedes! :)
