Nice work!!!
I must say its great to see another Malaysian Pinz resurrected from the abuse they took from the army.
Whenever I look at photos online of the state many of them have been left in them it makes sad to think that these Pinzgauers appear to have been forgotten and left for dead......well done for bringing one back to life.

I for one would love to see some more pic's.
Every now and then I think about importing a Malaysian 718 to Australia but then I think better of it.

Why is it called "Curry Pinz"?

"VAG" is the world manufacturer identifier (WMI) for all SDP vehicles made in Austria (starting 1980). WMI's for vehicles made for North America have different WMI , hence why DMV's can spot grey market cars so quickly.

FYI. for all Pinzgauers made in the UK, the WMI is "SFF"
