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

done a really nice job of that bumper people would think its factory

similar taste in vehicles Is that a 15 or 21 window delux

:) I nick named my farthers "round the clock" and dare to say its done 100k miles with that trailor :) converted to 5 cylinder 290 , I striped the body from the chassis about 12 years ago now because my father wanted it cream white rather than stark white ,, I'd add the full build to my thread ...

not familiar on this type of engine but normaly engines have the camsaft then a lifter then pushrod , the lifters are offset to the camshaft lobe to help parts wear evenly , hence why the pushrod might be turning

Fits in spare tire - 7 liters - can carry spare engine oil or fuel.
Slick!!
Want
Anyone know where to get one?

:cry: one of my pals has just bought one from a breakers yard for £5 to go in his merc , think I might try and buy it from him :) also try searching the part number as wrote on the can ...

On a related note - do you know of any other vehicles which use the dual crownwheels differentials like the Pinzgauer?

I've heard renaults have offset rear axles as well - so perhaps they do?

Thanks!

:) I think Tatra was one of the first to use this idea also used central tube chassis

This one seems to be a LHD model - I have only ever seen the RHD like in the video.
Wonder who has it and where it is!?!

:) The one in the video is a couple hours away from me , I'm quite keen to find out a little more about it , I did hear someone talking about that one and another disc brakes ...

:D Peter, that looks spot on (have you a thread on that resto ) I must invest in some of them fasteners for holding the panels in position ,
I got permission to use a press brake but the lower tool restricted the type of fold that I was after , think minnimum was 30mm and I was after 18mm so the ...

those lights look well - going to check through the above link , bloody wiring must have been like a rats nest

Greg: Here is a site with LED blackout lights as well as a variety of other military spec/looking lights that would work well on a pinz or volvo, etc. Im going to get some taillamps and turn signals from there.

:D thanks Profpinz , welded in the rear frame and chassis mount today measure twice three times four times :roll: hope my plans are correct :)

, I'd thought about building the platform floor , I'd tested out on some strips of steel sheets to make a corrugated panel that I was quite happy with but ...

Now that would have been a good idea but only been a short ar*e there'd be no need not much to show at the moment just been taking plenty of measurments

I quite like the idea of this one below and think that it would work really well on a Pinzgauer if you were to build an alloy box body , the roof and one side lifts up to make an upstairs bedroom

:) Hi all ,
Seen something like this done before so thought would have a go ,,
did a bit of machining to make a double press tool for forming some panels , this consists of lower and upper pieces of steel and two center pieces for pressing two different size's , I machined the lower side to suit a ...
