Re: Stretching the wheel base?

You could source the spacer from the 710 backbone and then rebuild a driveshaft. body mounts would have to be changed or the extension in the body tub done where no supports exist currently. I would think this would bring on a lot of issues. My tub ...

Stretching the wheel base?

I am curious, has anyone ever stretched the wheel base in a Pinz by lengthen the drivetube and driveshaft? What is the drivetube made of? Is it cast material or...?

This top has huge potential. Someone should really buy it. I am negotiable on my price too. I am just trying to do some Spring cleaning.

VW Westy pop top cap conversion for a 710M in CO. PICS ADDED

Hey Guys, so many moons ago I made a custom hard top for my Pinzgauer Using a 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon Shell with the fiberglass pop top. It is about 1 1/4 wider on each side. You have to remove the rear roll bar. It sits up on the bed sides and attaches to the front roll bar and the windshield. It h...

Re: My Pinzgauer is undergoing a civilian face lift

So here are some more pictures. I have been working on this project with my brother a lot in the past few weeks. We are learning a lot about metal shaping and the capacity of the tooling we have.

Engine removal won't be a problem. The front doors are almost 4 feet long! I spoke with Jim at Goatwerks the oth...
