Damn what a shame I can't upload pics here. Anywho a quick update:
Custom flywheel and clutch kit all on engine, gearbox on engine, both been waiting to go in the car for weeks.
Went for a 2000km roadtrip last week and conveniently just "happened" to come across a Mercedes parts yard which had a 500,000km '81 wagon still with its 617.952... owner said it was tired and could do with a rebuild (and it looks pretty sorry with corrosion and oil stains all over it). Pulled it out and he loaded it on a trailer for us. Just test ran it today, bloody thing has barely any smoke or blowby, very pleased with it!
I think there's only 6x 617As in this country and I now have two of them, lol
