Painting:-) So guys; Time for an update:-) They say that a picture says more than a thousand words, so here it goes! This is what I've been working on the last month:

Great summary afrom the trip and inspiring movie:) A bit jealous about the temprature though. This is my weather forecast for the next couple of day's:Wow1::

I thought about adding a spacer between the a-pillar and the snorkel, but it would have to be minimum 70mm thick to make space for the cyclone filter. So I abandoned that, idea since I thought that it also would look a bit stupid. I'm also not sure if it would be possible to bend the plastic...

The cyclone filter collided whit the front corner on the raised roof, so I had to lift it to make it fit. Allso I considered that it might be a bit quieter inside the cabin if i raised the inntake.:) Didn't think about the advantage of keeping it low regarding high pressure area in front of the...

So yesterday I took it outside to take some pictures of the current status. Here you can also see the new dieseltank which i modified to fit, and the extended pipe for the raised air intake. The exhaust will also need to be lifted, but i will tackle this on a later stage.

Ok, so I've spent most of my christmas holiday in the garage working on the roof extension for the cab. The extension is now almost finnished on the outside, only need to tidy up some of the gluing/sealing in the corner and cover all of the exterior corners with some aluminiums angles. The rear...

Just a quick update: The last days managed to do some work on my roof extension for the cabin. Today I finnished the frame for it and got it liftet up on top of the existing roof. Still a lot of work to do with welding it to the truck body, cutting away the old roof. Insulating the extension...

Hi Iain, Weight is always an enemy when building something based on a road going vehicle. For living I am a mechanical engineer and building mining equipment based on truck chassis, so I am used to the problem... This is one of our latest builds, it's a "concrete robot", specially designed for...

Hi Jostein, Will be exciting to follow your build thread also!:) How will you intend to solve lifting of the popp-up roof, hydraulic cylinders? electric actuators? Or something totally different? Fancy Cad model by the way!

Wow! A big milestone! Congrats:-)

19,5L / 100km, my fathers Hanomag, similar to your 508, with OM314 runs at 9,8 L / 100km, cruising speed for both of us was approx. 85km/h.

Otherwise I have been busy working with the design and layout of the camper box itself It will not win any design awards, but we are quite happy with the concept we have come up with, but nothing is final yet, so adjustments (read: redesign:)) may still occur. We also decided that we...

During painting: Sorry, but seems that Idont have any good pictures ofthe finished result after painting, but I will take some pictures of the frame next time I remember it. I have also cleaned and painted the gearbox with the same green color as it original was. Later on I will also go...

Sorry for the long break since last update, seems that the last few months just flew away... But anyway, here is a status update: As I wrote earlier I managed to get the truck safely back from Germany to Norway without any problems! :-) After that I went straight to work and started the...

Great info Ian, thanx! I agree withyou about not cutting away the surrounding frame, think I'll makeacutout simmilar to what you did and then attach my extension by welding and bolting it to the remaining parts of the roof. I have made some consept drawings of how I am planning to do it. I'll...

Great reading and impressive work as usual! This thread has come to be a quite big inspiration resource for the buildt I am about to tackle my self:) One question though; Do you have some pictures from the process of extending/lifting the roof in the cabin? I am curious about how you made the...
