I dont think the frame size has enough column strength and the frame is not substantial enough to resist much MB, its a fairly flimsy configuration I think, looking at the mount location its in the center of the firewall with only a single 90 deg column, 25mm rhs - they should be OK I reckon. If anything it will fold up pretty easily I think.
Dearly hoping, thanks @PeeBee

the frame is less substantial then the bonnet and the engine block, am running some bracing under the joins, hopefully it lasts long enough so i can save up for a proper kit.
if its worth doin its worth over doin
put coolant in it and fresh oil. replaced the filters, wired the cooling fan for the intercooler, painted the frame and made a exhaust manifold shield.
just got to sort from the inter cooler to the manifold.. then do all the prestarts.
if its worth doin its worth over doin
i fired it up today.... need to sort a catch can.
it idles a bit high.. 800 cold it used to be 600.
at idle it got to 100 deg exhaust temp only ran it for 15 mins or so to bleed coolant etc.

tops out at about 1.4 bar
may need to get this thing tuned

doing the rear bushes and one of the nuts picked up the thread.
hopefully this stops it from pulling left under throttle.(half of the bushes were busted)
this leaves only the rear panhard that isn't new.
