Since I did not want to drive it out on the road yet, I was learning about the flat six and how it was designed. Definitely different from the standard V6. As you can see parts were robbed for other vehicles so I made a list of everything that needed to be replaced and another for things I would like to shine up a little. Learned very quick that parts can be overpriced a little. Just finished a 2009 S550 project and even though Mercedes can be pricey ... Porsche has them beat.
This will be a fun project, for sure.
I'm parting-out an '03 right now. Not everything changes over to a 97, bust most things do. Send me your list, I'll see what I can help you with. I've been trying to sell stuff for about 75% of what you'd pay on ebay. (-ish) but let's see if we can help you out even more than that.

What part of the world are you in?
