I finally got my wire mesh headlight grills attached. I like them. I thought otherwise, thinking they would look too bling bling or gaudy. They will work out.

Finally got enough AMG rims (period correct ATS 15") with tires mounted -- needed correct lug bolts. Always "one more thing" before something is done. Time to chose which finish I like best. Looking at color matching as personal favorite.

First thing: install cylinder head. Need to source now the "hidden" bolts ... and maybe different head gasket (other than OEM).

If you end up finding a source for an MLS head gasket I'd definitely be in for one. Of course contributing to setup/tooling fees accordingly. Shops I've talked to have dismissed me upon hearing "Mercedes"

7.5mm M-pump, GT3582 turbo, F-Tune Performance intake/exhaust manifolds, A/A intercooler, 315 nozzles, Enlarged prechambers, Bosch 044 feed pump, Custom lightweight flywheel with 240mm clutch, Lowered, 17" AMG rims - 300 hp OM617 project
1985 300D 280,000 miles RIP

The interior pieces are trickling back from the upholstery shop now. Got most things sorted, organized, and staged for total interior completion by October / November. Here are the B-Pillars, and shifter console with new boot. All red leather. I think once things start going back in, the interior will really pop. Even going with the red seat belts.
