You blokes are doing a wonderful job, and if you are getting criticism, don’t let it put you off. I hope when your G is finished you get to take your friends on the kind of journey you and the vehicle deserve. Start in Germany and just drive. I think the colour choice is OK - the older Gs were mostly primary colours and this one will go well with the black trim pieces. These cars also need mudflaps (Schmutzfanger - sorry no umlaut) especially on the back, at least in my opinion. While you’ve got it apart you might consider a small suspension lift depending on how you intend to use it. Personally I’d look into an air conditioning unit too.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We will definitely get a new set of Schmutzfänger front and back... they are a must. And air conditioning would be a great addition! We'll look into some aftermarket solutions one we get to reassembling the engine bay.
Thank you for another great video. The honesty you show in your videos is your strength. You made a very good choice by using closed cell foam. This will actually block noise. Other noise control methods just try to dampen sound by adding mass. I believe your decision is the better solution. For under body coating, in the U.S. I like to use a product named Lizard Skin. They manufacture both a rubberized sound deadening type, and also a ceramic based heat shield type. Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next video.
Lizard Skin, huh? Thats sounds super interesting. Will look for that when I'm over there again. Thank you much for your support and your kind words. We appreciate you being along for the ride!
@@jonasfreitag Yes ! I had bought a 300GD but couldn't refuse a trade for a 2006 S350L, but now I bought a W140 for 800€ and a W126 280SEL for 350€ ! So I have work)))
Hi Guys - loving your work and fantastic 'hands-on' approach (have just binge watched after being alerted to this, much better than Netflix)! I have an '87 300GD and you have inspired me - don't do anything, jeez (well I can't get any of my brothers to come and help)!! Really enjoying it, don't suppose any chance you guys (and rest of crew, Mimi, Mum etc.) coming over and doing the body work, rust is getting a lot worse!
Hard work is paying of. Its coming together realy nice. The color is killing, once you are bolting on black parts like trim and tyres, grill and mirrors it's going to realy look stunning. I wish I was as far as you guys 😓 Keep up the good progress, its inspiring and I've picked up some cool useful tips. I used RX7 and RX5 for undercoating, it's more paint based with zink I believe. It's pretty durable.
Sieht echt toll aus! Bei der Dämmung an der Spritzwand und der Bodenbleche (insbesondere bei den Vordersitzen) müsst ihr nur aufpassen dass alles dicht ist und regelmäßig auf Feuchtigkeit kontrollieren. Andernfalls wirkt die Dämmung wie ein Schwamm und der Rost breitet sich schnell und unbemerkt aus.
Das stimmt natürlich. Die Dämmung hier kann man nicht wie einen Teppich mal eben anheben und kontrollieren. Da werden wir beim Abdichten der Spritzwand extra vorsichtig sein müssen.
Putty is not a crime. To do everything pro, is necessary spent 10x time more. Life going, sometimes is better to not waste life to be perfectionist. G- wagen is my dream i hope to purchase some poor 5 door like Yours and restore.
Loving the videos. Hoping to begin my own 460 restoration in the next few months. Taking notes! Are you concerned about moisture collecting under the clsoedfoam in the seat wells and under the windscreen?
Not really. We'll of course have to be extra careful with sealing all components that are mounted through the firewall, but the foam glues directly to the metal so as long as that bond is good, no moisture will be able to get between them and condensate. Time will tell I guess. Did you already buy a W460?
@@jonasfreitag I have a w460 1982 LWB and 1987 SWB. The restoration project will be on the LWB. A typical place for water ingress is the windscreen wiper spindles or thru the fan assembly when the drainage ports are blocked. Which is why I would be worried about damp being trapped behind the firewall. However the G is very noisy without any soundproofing so I guess it's necessary. I replace the roof with a w463 sunroof to access a magiollina roof tent. I've also replaced most of the 460 interior with the modern 463 pannels. Windows and locks were also upgraded to electric. I have forerunner roof bars but planning to replace with forerunner roof rack and rear ladder. Definitely a money pit! Looking forward to seeing the next episode
Hi It would be much easier to find your video about Gelandewagen / G-class restoration if you had written MB Gelandewagen in the title field. It was difficult to find this video.
TH-cam mostly. It's crazy how much our lives in Germany are influenced by the U.S.: Music, Film, Television, Social Media... (American) English is part of our lives here.
@@jonasfreitag if you learned English. From you tube You are a better man then me for sure !! I had a hard enough time learning English from my school teachers ! Man there is so many things I would love to ask you about, Being 66 years old now I mostly want to learn where I watch you tube... Being born in the BRONX New York I. ( most of the time add a lot of words into my sentences ) sound a lot like the dice man. (Andrew dice clay ) thank you for responding to me.. Remember. ELVIS liver !!!!!!!
Fett nicht Wachs. Gute Entscheidung! Wachs kann mit den Jahren abblättern und unterhalb des Wachses, gibt es auch öfter Rost.... Beim Fett passiert es nicht :) Edit: Vielleicht hättet ihr für das Hohlraumversiegeln, die Karosse von außen mit einer Folie abkleben sollen :S

I like your video because you are not an expert. You guys give courage to people who have no experience. We can do it!
Appreciate that Sir. That's what we were hoping was the case.

Haha Loved the campfire sounds when heating up the "Korrosionsschutzfett" - what a German word anyway😅
Its a very descriptive language. :-D
You guys are awesome.
Thanks Kaz! Appreciate it.
Very Interesting videos, keep up the good work!! I'm learning a lot!
Glad to hear it! Thank you.

Thank you so much Bas! We're super curious ourselves to see it all come together with the black trim pieces and some chunky MT tires.
Good job. Keep doing what your doing and don't worry about the negative comments. Your not going to please everyone.
You're totally right. Thanks!
Only Germans are capable of restoring a car with so much attention to detail and improvement.
Great videos....👍
Awesome colour
Thanks so much Jens! We're really happy with it ourselves.
looking forward to new videos!!
Great video guys! Really enjoy watching it. Keep it up .May I know what is the material you used for the insulation? Brand and part number. Thank you
I did my 2002 Xterra with foam and sound deadening throughout the interior, roof, doors and quarters it made a huge difference in road noise.
Awesome! Well I'm hoping our results are going to be similar.
Sieht echt toll aus!

Your roof insulation probaly also helps with heat in the summe?

That's exactly right. Perfectionism would mean 3o years before we ever get to drive this thing.
All this in one year! With engine done your are not that far away from your goal!
We'd like to see it that way too, but there is still a mountain of parts and pieces waiting to be installed somewhere.
@@jonasfreitag I am confident your wagon will make it on the road this year!

Dämmung, Hohlraumversiegelung - ist noch Platz für die Kabel?
Das werden wir wohl diese Woche herausfinden. :-D

The English product is known as Waxoyl (a combination of wax and oil). Lovely looking vehicle guys.
Thanks alot Malcolm!
how is possible only less than 4k views?? algorithm sucks a lot
Good. Video man !! Always be honest... You guys are in Germany. I think where did you learn English so well. ?? Thank you Frank from montana...

@@jonasfreitag see I am just learning this cell phone I spell a word and it comer up all F&#€%× up
It is called thermal bridging in English.
Yes, that's what I was referring to. So we're not sure how much effect the insulation is really going to have on the cab temperature.

What happened with part 2 - 7?
They're all in the project playlist: th-cam.com/video/Y0b_Vsx1EOQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Rhova4x4
Wo habt ihr gelernt so gut englisch zu sprechen? Habt ihr mal im Ausland gelebt? Oder Muttersprachler als Elternteil oder so?
Tolle Videos!! 👍🏻
Die Matten auf dem Boden zu verkleben ist sehr mutig. Ich hätte da Bedenken wegen Feuchtigkeit usw.
Is this " weizengelb" ?
We think af it as "sahara beige" but we're not aware of an official name.
@@jonasfreitag hm. Weizengelb is one of the W460 colours. But at a closer look I think your colour looks a bit brighter...
Convert it to elecric
lol no
That would be interesting but a whole nother project!
