HDJ 80 - evolution from original to….

[Big Blue]

.... Where is yours located…

Keeno…

…on the left side, vertical on a slider, straight compared to the fridge – for a perfect weight distribution – both around 35 - 40kg. Pics in 2 weeks - the construction is still under process.

…have any photos of the internal structure of the sides?....

Sorry – I don`t have one, maybe next week, I`ll see Marcus next monday. But the structural stability (30 t shear force, 3t vertical force – I don`t know how to say it in english) is given by the frame sandwich combination.

… the latest feature – table arm…

Yeah would make an excellent mobile edit suite, something Ive been toying with, was planning on using a Landrover 130 but this would be nice too.

Stefan, can you point me to the company that built the silver body in Germany?

Hi Dave,
Just in case Stefan misses this, I think what you are looking for is here :

Have fun looking around the site - lots of food for thought.

Cheers,
Frank

Frank, thank you

Does anyone know the price of these conversions? Just the body or housings only?

 

[ersatzknarf]

You are very welcome, Dave.
Enjoy ! ! !


Cheers,
Frank

Dave,
I would guesstimate that it's somewhere in the 25k Euro range for just a "box," based on what was said by another fellow much earlier and in a different thread <hint>... I don't think there's any pricing to be found on their site - it's all custom stuff... Maybe you'll need to go there and discuss it with Ralf over a beer

However, there's a cool little link at the bottom of the page that I found and has a lot of photos that might be of interest :

Going back to the first posts there are photos from when they cut the body behind the rear doors.


Cheers,
Frank

I have a friend that travels to germany every year quite a bit and is fluent. We're going to find out for sure. . so $25k isn't too bad for what your getting. It would make quite the amazing rig thats for sure.

 

[ersatzknarf]

It sure would be amazing ! You're very fortunate to have a friend to help you there. Will you be shipping your car over for the conversion ? I don't see how they could do it otherwise - it's all custom. Also, the guesstimate is 25k Euros, not dollars... I heard that there's been a slight improvement in the exchange rate, due to the troubles in Greece (?), but generally speaking the it has been costing about US$1.35 or so for one Euro.
Good luck - I sure hope you can do it !



Cheers,
Frank
