Hand Made Mercedes G- Class Turn Signals Guard

Post#1 » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:54 am

Hi,
I made two Mercedes G- Class Turn Signals Guard for my 300 gd. İt's difficult import and costly to buy turn signals guard. I made it with stainless steel wire to 5 mm tickness.

Stainless steel wire: 5 $
Weld : 10 $
Electrostatic coating : 5 $

Total cost : 20

Excellent work...just like original. Can you make the rear tailight ones as well ? Those are even more expensive.

Did you pose that picture or is the guy welding actually just closing his eyes "while welding"?! Ouch! Not good!

Nice parts though, good job.

Jonathan, He's got a helmet on so the pic is probably just pre-flip.

Your comment reminded me of this though. I'm sure some of you have seen this but you never can look at it too many times. My favorite is the construction site worker.

Don't know why I didn't see the helmet, I think I thought it was a funky headband. Thats a lot better! I've known some old welders who did some crazy things. The first time I was helping someone weld and learning from him, we where in a ships engine room where there was a diesel spill and we stood in like two inches of diesel fuel with sparks flying everywhere. I asked him about it and he seriously was not concerned at all. Pretty amazing what some people get away with and live long lives!
