My Wife brought me a Unimog

[Wyuna]

Well, its my Birthday in a few days and i came home to this.





Can't seem to turn the pics?

Seems in good nick, looks like a full strip down and rebuild will be needed ,

No rust, looks like its setup for a full EV conversion, should be cheap to run.

Ok, its not a real Mog, but its the closest ill get. just have to find time to build it now.

I got my new rig last month after a bloody long wait, it is brand new and special ordered from Germany with a higher 3200kg GVM.

Now i'm ready to start work on it



The handover for my new industrial shed was yesterday, so the wife is very happy to get all my tools and's parts out of the house and to start working on the fitout:ylsmoke:

A Woman with a sense of humor is a good thing!!
What is the wheel base on the van?

The Wheelbase is the LWB, its an extra 400mm longer than the SWB.

Had some annoying news this morning, the Mezzanine floor has been delayed by a few weeks, so that puts the brakes on moving all my tools in.

Now i have to put the Expoy floor guys back, until the mezzanine is installed, the build was 3 months over schedule whats another 2 weeks, lol

Anyhow back to the thread, I've build my Unimog chassis (didn't get to bed until 1am), its quite fun building the shocks, driveline and diff's, I've already ordered a faster motor from the UK and ordered the Transmitter and servos from Japan this morning.

Now what colour to paint it... I'm thinking Red

Looks good, I'll be interested in seeing how the build progresses. :smiley_drive:
