Not much progress today. I got the frame bolted in at the tie down points. Who would have thought drilling 4 holes would be so much effort but everything was against me as my cordless drill ran out of charge and my drill bit was blunt. Eventually done and with a few spacing washers underneath...
Today started work on the bed platform. The plan is to have a semi-permanent platform behind the rear seats which will act as a parcel shelf day to day hiding luggage carried beneath. The left side of this platform will fold up to allow two mountain bikes (front wheels off) to fit in. The...
Today started work on one of the side panels inside. The plan is to use some of the hidden space behind the panel and create some storage space.
Ran into some problems as the panel was curved more than I realised and the new panel doesn't want to curve as the inserts have made it quite rigid.
I had some inspiration as to final look from the VW Rockton version of the van although in reality this suffers the same compromise as the Pinzgauer in sacrificing road manners and speed in favour of mud terrain tyres and lower ratio gears.
However this vehicle influenced my colour choice and I...
After a lot of deliberation and a massive trip round Scandinavia (Denmark, Iceland, Faroe, Norway, Sweden and Finland) I decided to sell my Pinzgauer camper. It sold quickly and left me ready for a new project.
Analysis of the trips that I had carried out in the Pinzgauer showed I needed the...

You've already turned that into a nice looking truck. Shows how a few practical modifications can take an urban cruiser back to an off-road thoroughbred!

We leave Iceland just after you arrive (guess it is the same ferry) Really looking forward to it, part of our Nordic tour which includes Denmark, Faroe, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Went on your website but can't get it in English.
I found a little solar power vent. You can see it fitted here

This is great info. I have been to Iceland before and driven in to Askja and the volcanoe pool Viti. The return from there to the North near Skutustadahreppur by Lake Myvatn is about 350 km which is getting close to 400 km range in the Pinzgauer. Any idea of actual km travelled on F910...
Can I ask which routes / roads you drove in Iceland? In particular I am wondering if you drove F910 as I am trying to work out distances between filling stations for fuel on that route for an expedition next year.
