A fine classic. Or not. Built between 1961 and 1973, sold in the US between 1966 and 1973. Seen at an auto repair facility in Williamston, South Carolina.
Willets Point, aka The Iron Triangle, is a shadow-neighborhood, seemingly on the fringes of the city, and even civilization. Bound by railroads, freeways, and the Flushing River and Bay, it is a hard place to get to. There is a strange world here- entirely dedicated to auto work and scrap metal. There are no sidewalks here, the streets are barely paved, huge puddles abound, and no normal rule of traffic apply. No one has a home here, and there are no stores or any kind. Mechanical work is happening everywhere- in the garages and even in the streets themselves.
Cars come to Willets Point to be resurrected- like the pristine BMW's and Mercedes being driven back out to more genteel surroundings. Or- cars come to Willets Point to die, as seen by the overturned chassis strewn about, and the massive mound of scrap metal.
This is the ash heap of The Great Gatsby, traversed by Nick Carraway on his trips from West Egg to Manhattan....
What is most amazing about Willets Point is its location right next to Citi Field and a stone's throw away from the U.S. Tennis Open. Being such a wasteland in such close proximity to places with such national and international profile puts the neighborhood in constant peril- had NYC won the 2012 Olympic bid (thank goodness it didn't, for many reasons) this area would have been razed for an Olympic venue.

Mercedes is the most popular model of automobile in Georgia, in fact I though one car out of five or six was a Merc! Someone also told me that a Merc was the cheapest car to maintain in the country as spares and repairs were dirt cheap due to the sheer number of vehicles around. But while most Mercs were saloon cars or estate cars, here is a microbus. As I was taking pictures of the rugged mountains from the viewpoint we had stopped at, this blue Merc micro bus stopped by and asked my elderly taxi driver for his tools so that they could repair their own car. Three mighty Georgian ladies got off that blue micro bus and were hanging around waiting for their crew to finish repairs on their car using the tools from ours. Our car is the silver Merc with it's boot open. (Kazbegi/ Stepantsminda, Georgia, Sept. 2016)

An auto repair shop in serious disrepair along Highway 160, heading towards Kayenta. I think I liked the rock formations here better than any I later saw in Monument Valley and the Valley of the Gods. It's an interesting question, how we decide what areas to protect and call one of the wonders of the world and what areas are left completely unmarked.

From the engine block, the A/C compressor and alternator have been removed. Once the power steering fluid pump is removed and moved to the side, the intake manifold can be prepared for removal.

an a l m o s t invisible repair...well, except for the shaker can overspray, gaps and the pop rivets.
The hardest part in removing the intake manifold was removing the fuel lines and EGR pipe.
I'm almost entirely sure the fuel lines connected to the metal fuel rails on the manifold had never been removed in 14+ years and I eventually cut the rubber fuel hoses so that I wouldn't damage the rails.
There is an EGR pipe that goes between the intake manifold and the left cylinder head has really annoying fittings that go directly around the pipe and screw into both parts. I believe the older EJ22 engines do not have EGR systems, or at least are less robust and this part of that system seems like it was definitely an afterthought in the design process (not to second guess the engineers, but is probably could have been done better if it was part of the original design).
I tried a lot of methods to get these fittings loose, but nothing seemed to work and I didn't want to damage the fitting further. My solution was to hacksaw the pipe and fit a socket wrench on the fitting once the manifold was off the car. An OEM EGR pipe can be found for around $45-60 depending where you look, so that's the lazy route I went with.
