Never having owned a pinz my take on it is of course not the most well informed. But IMO the Volvo is a much simpler construction and take on the same problem, straight axles and leaf springs, conventional engine setup, simple electrics etc. makes it a simple rugged diy vehicle, which can be...

I have to ask, what's up with that picture? The reasonn is that it says "kyllingen" in it, at that means "the chicken" in Danish, but why???

Update Well I just found this thread again and want to tell you all how it is evolving. First of all I have to say that progress is a bit slower that wished for, we bought an old house, got married and bought a HJ45 as a daily driver, so time on the Volvo has not been the first priority. But...

Excellent setup that just goes to show, it's not about which vehicle you have, but wether or not you actually want to travel! Thumbs up! (what mods would make my W126 usefull...hmm...:ylsmoke:)

I got one already, so I say; go for it!

I just checked. I could easily find 100 for sale, ranging from 1,000 $ to 12,500 $.

loool!!!

Thanks alot, both Sönke and Stefan! I'll take some pictures tomorrow so Marcus can see what I need and then I'll mail him. Sönke, you know what I think about your Cruiser :-) But Stefan yours is outstanding too, a different approach than Sönke's, but really well engineered!

Hi Sönke I would like to know more about your silent blocks, I have been looking around for something for our Volvo project, and have been advised to use model 17-1671-45 on this page: http://www.mecmove.se/vibrationsdampare/trelleborg_dampare/CabMountings.pdf To get the best noise and...

I'll take a pic of our new "glovebox" and the back side of the dash next time I'm at the shop, just to make you feel a little better! ;-)

Thanks M.Bas, good to see that you are making progress too! wiring and electronics eat a lot of time right?

Yessir! Although they so not show the current state, I have the key and starter button mounted too and the whole lot mounted in the car. Oil pressure, water temp, tach and turbo boost works. I still have some sensors to mount though... But all in all a great experience to insert the key, let...

Congrats! Then it might be a good time to post a little update. The 1KZ-T is in and running fine! I have just today plugged a new dash in with VDO tach, speedo, oli pressure, oil temp, water temp, volt, turbo boost and pyro. A few sensors are missing, but the rest work well with the brand new...

That must have been some Mini! my first car was a Mini, ah... the memories! :-) We have rules about the height of headlights, but since I use the original position which has been approved I do not think it will be a problem, however we have rules that say that you cannot have HID unless there...

Don't be sorry, I ended up learning something, and that is always good! :-) Then I will go for euro low beam 90 mm in the bumper and Hella 4000/luminator compact eurobeams for highbeams, that must be it! Unfortunately the pod model seems to be sold out at rallylights, and I have been unable to...

I am a bit confused on the pencil beam/high beam definitions. Here in Europe we have low beam/high beam with the euro beam pattern (assymetrical cut-off). Is what you call euro-pattern a high-beam?

Thanks for the inputs, they are highly appreciated! I actually found something on http://www.rallylights.com/ It's a pod design version of the Hella Rallye 4000 compacts: http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=1223 They might be ideal for the original position. There's no photo of them...

Hello I need some input, we are modifying a Volvo TGB1314 and converting it in to an expedition style vehicle. Because of bodylift, new Michelin 11/R16 tyres etc. the original headlights will sit very high. My idea is to make a bumper with some 90 mm hella euro driving lights in, and use the...

Looking at this: And driving this: I cannot help but wonder how much those rear tyres scrubs/rubs the asphalt when turning with that kind of wheelbase between axle 2 and 3...
