Before After

The car was a two owner vehicle meticulously maintained by my Mercedes-Benz of South Africa with a stack of records to prove it. I was looking for an OM606 to build a super turbo diesel but very few were imported into the country so I settled for the 5 cylinder. After taking it for a drive and hearing the baby V10 noise, I knew it was the one. The car had no rust but after 390k kilometers the engine needed a rebuild. Forged rods and pistons, upgraded to a top mount turbo, new intercooler, 7.7mm DPUK elements, Standalone DSL1 ECU, Kangaroos team intake manifold, Original C36 body kit, W203 C32 AMG wheels, brakes and suspension, Interior redone in full leather C36 style
