New life for "Parts Only" Gensets, ex. MEP-002/003

Here's a neat example of what one can do by repurposing various parts from MEP parts donor machines. Found this genset unit while poking around the internet looking at nearby CL ads. Looks like he utilized several MEP-002/-003 parts. The Skid Base, Fuel Tank, AC Distribution box, Control Panel housing, Air filter are the platform for the Isuzu C240 engine coupled to a Marathon 30 kw generator end and Dynagen Control mounted in Control Panel Housing all sitting compactly on the skid frame with a 50 gallon aux tank incorporated within. Pretty neat setup:

My favorite part is the large 50g tank built into the skid, like you find in the big commercial sets!

Yeah, and it appears that he even managed to retain pallet fork tunnels built into the tank. My -002 with its 50 gallon aux tank takes up a whole M116A2 trailer...lol!
