THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

*Zombie thread alert*

Any updates on good Seattle Area mechanics?

How was the experience with John VanHorn?

I'm just proactively trying to identify who I should know if the need arises

That looks AWESOME! Nice work Andre and Newfisher!

And, we may be back on... In a strange twist of events my daughter has a layover in San Diego the evening before I was planning to have the Pinz picked up, so it means I could meet her there and the two of us could drive it home together along the coast (road trip!). I'm checking with the owner to m...

I reached out to the seller a number of weeks ago before I bought my Pinzgauer. It took a while for them to respond to me as well. Here's what they sent: "Hi, Thank you for your interest. Attached are a few photos. Personally, I would hesitate driving it from Denver to Seattle. It is a 41 year ...

Ok - bad news... Unfortunately due to my work schedule and the distance between the location where I'm picking up my Pinz in San Diego and David's shop I'm not going to be able to pick up the windshields before the Pinz goes on the transport. I also talked to the transport company and they're not wi...

Great suggestion! Thank you both.

Sounds good Ben, thanks for putting this together. Inmay not be able to make the pickup on the 5th would they be ok stashed for a couple weeks? No problem. I have a large garage and an additional small shop out back, so lots of indoor storage where they could sit. I'm hoping the logistics all work ...

Kicking of my build thread... I have been a long time volunteer with Search and Rescue in King County. I belong to King County 4x4 Search & Rescue, King County Explorer Search & Rescue, and am a member of the Washington State Regional Special Vehicles Unit (Snowmobiles, ATVs, Dual Sports, et...

I spoke with Daid today and we're a bit closer to having logistics sorted out. I'm picking up my Pinz on Monday the 29th, the truck is picking it up on Friday the 4th (just as reminder it's an enclosed transport used by the Porsche dealers). The current thinking is I will drive it up the 15 to Jim's...

Thanks for setting up a place for enthusiasts to learn about their vehicles Vince, I appreciate it! Donation made.

Love the look of the 303, after I get the Pinz set up for Search and Rescue I will be on the hunt for one of those to build up.

Those Trail Ready rims with color matched bead locks look fantastic.

Thanks, I've seen that finish before and didn't know what it was. They look great.

Do you have any pics? I'm curious to see what they look like.

Ok, I've decided to ship it instead of driving it back up, just don't have the time right now to take a couple of extra days (plus any extra time if there are any issues on the way) to drive it all the way back to Washington. It looks like I will be going down on the 29th and making the purchase and...
