Pinzgauer Rescue
Pinzgauer Rescue
Not to be confused with Search & Rescue of people, this is Pinzgauer rescue,
like Golden Retriever rescue, Pit-bull rescue -- you get the idea.
Well I must be nuts -- I know I am . Just took possession of a 73' 712 that
has lived on Winery property for 20 years, never registered, crawled over
Zinfandel, Pinot's, and Cab's. She needs a fair amount of TLC, price was fair,
but getting her back to proper condition will be a fair amount of work -- so
here we go
Well, I should add ain't no salvage project like Gekoadventures
Already placed orders for some parts from EI, list will grow fast.

Just glad that "puppy" found it's forever home!
Re: Pinzgauer Rescue
There is a guy on Facebook selling lots of 712 parts including the body. Jason Wong I believe he is in Stockton Ca. Area.
Re: Pinzgauer Rescue
Thanks for the tip!! I'll see if I can contact this guy.
Wonder where he is posting as it has not popped up
on any of the Pinz forums I am aware of.

Re: Pinzgauer Rescue
Well if all goes well, I'll be talking to him this weekend and if reasonable
I'll swing by and pick some stuff up. Stockton not too far from me.

Re: Pinzgauer Rescue
seems every time I try to save a pinz it cost me money to get it back to "everything works" condition. I think I do it more for the idea of keeping them alive then anything else.
Good Luck

Re: Pinzgauer Rescue
Ya that's what I figure too. Well the price was very reasonable so I can afford to
toss in some goodness. I'm betting more than I suspect though. But part of this is
to keep me busy and out of trouble.
