Hi, a little update: Found a car where I could pick some parts. Seatblets, which mine did not have and soundproofing carpet for the floor. Very useful parts. Also I got a spare compressor and dynamo and an extra drivers seat. I did cut out the metal around the seatblet nuts, but that was...

Hi, nice project! Where did you get the rims, and what is the diameter on the luggs, i need 8 lug 275 mm! STIG:)

Not that I amaware of, I have done a lot of research on this vehicle. I talked to the technical manager at the MAN shop in town and he would not recomend putting a turbo on it. Some other "experts" claim that it could easily get 200 horsepower out of it with a turbo.

What rpm do you get at 80 km/h with those tires. I got 9r22.5 on mine and have 3000 revs at 80 km/h. Will buy new ones but not sure what kind yet. STIG:)

Thanks! STIG:)

Getting the rust under control! The "hole" int the floor is mended with 2mm sheet steel and suported with one by one inch steel "square pipe"(dont inow the english term, guess you understand!) The rest of the rust is cut and grinded away: (not sure of the properterms here, maybe "panels" is...

RUST RUST Got some of the rust cut away, but got a big hole instead.. Electric need a cleanup too, this is the giver for the rear differential lock. Rust takes time to fix. STIG:)

Everything is made from sheet. I have someone to help me with it, but we are both not profesionals with this so its a learning process. I need all the luck I can get!

I will definetly look into those products! Yes started cutting and prepping for welding today!

Yeah! The bed is off the frame! The frame is looking incredible good, some surface rust on the top of it and some very minor pitting. Here the rust is the worst, some pitting but very shallow. Shall spray on some rust remover and rustpreventing oils after machanical removal, but I will...

The bed was a bit more work than I expected, but now it should be free of the frame. Also had to fix the garage-door but should be ready to take off now. Engine looks very good. Small leak from compressor on other side but only leaks when its running, no leaks on the floor yet. Took of...

What size tires do you have on it?

I finally picked up the pickup truck. First Stop on the way home, about 100 km from where I bought it. Had a mcdonalds meal before going over the mountains to Trondheim. Total distance was 440 km. Here it stands besides some regular RVs.. Me and the new truck. It did ride much better than I...

Cruiser 79 Denmark is close, but not realy close, but will have my eyes open about parts in denmark. We will be going to Copenhagen this summer and I will by then know more about what I need for parts. Nato shelter is an option, but I have been talking to a company who makes shelters for...

Keep it coming Chiang mai is a great place, did a one day trip with a guide for some easy offroad there! STIG:)
