Stunningly restored 51 Merc Woody. Ground up about 5 years ago. Nothing spared. Mostly correct to original although some upgrades in the interest of drive ability and reliability.A full 12 volt system was added including an alternator which looks similar to original. Also added was a modern radiator and includes an electric fan. Switch able from the drivers position. As the temp gauge in the panel stopped working an aftermarket underdash unit was installed.

All other electrics work fine.All locks are functional including the tail gate and glove box lock.Center seat articulates to create floor space if desired.
