Nice write up again. If you need any parts:
All American import in Kaatsheuvel helps me fine!

Thanks Pepperana,
We bought a new thing to fix, very busy with it! 78 horsepower, dead slow, just got new paperwork so it can tow 1400 kilograms (impossible)

Fiat Ducato 280 Frankia RM660 Sun Traveller 1986 2.5 diesel

Cleaned the seats, replacing aluminium side, baseline engine:

Obviously safety, well, oke, skip that:

 

[Pepperana]

Thats big! And you can make a 6x6!

 

[Jentuh]

That's a decent size camper!!
Room for a 12HT?

 

[hj 60]

no turbo on this thing, it is not designed for it, yes 78 HP is a highscore on the stupid scale, but it seems many have traveled mountains before, so, it will be this until the engine blows.
We have been looking at the electric wheel movers, but very expensive! Got snow chains!
I have been busy with this scrapyard camper, many nights freezing but having fun

Just finishing it up for the road check, it needs working dash lights, they are working again:

Many holes and crap on the roof needs to be shut, spend a few hours on that, 1 mm old aluminum roof with sickaflex as replacement, might also use it if my HJ roof starts to rust trough

 

[hj 60]

It needs a working speedo, fixed that, removed many stupid bits, found with camera:

 

[hj 60]

It will need the beloved full rpm particle test, so new oil and air filter and stuff:

 

[hj 60]

For the road check it needs a working heater blower, why not remove the complete dash to fix that simple carbon brush ?
goddamned, if you are sad seeing this, imagine how i feel.

 

[hj 60]

Why is a new carbon brush melted and sticky? Italian motors...
But running like new, just reinstall this &^%$!

 

[hj 60]

A picture of what we bought, yes it was damaged, aint we all?

 

[hj 60]

I did not knew they existed, iron valves, for high pressure tires, perfect for 4x4 vehicles?
We now have a tire changer, very handy to press off a tire within a few seconds!

 

[hj 60]

yes, birf like stuff, I dont care, 500Nm nut, that is like, hulk hogan style wrenching.

 

[hj 60]

Old exhaust looked really rusty crunchy, replaced, everything for the roadcheck,
Filled with stainless bit to compensate welded old to new part, spray.

 

[hj 60]

Then we started to kill, demolish, break it beavis and butthead style:

 

[hj 60]

New wheel arch, bit different from 60 body, but needed some reinforcement, also new snow all season tires, sprayed rims:

 

[micruz60]

Sikaflex is awesome stuff!

 

[hj 60]

Why are we doing this in winter?

 

[hj 60]

A camper is a real ripoff, it is just 1 mm aluminum, a few wood pieces and polyester foam stuff, we tripled the old rotten stuff:

 

[hj 60]

micruz60 HAH!!HAHAH!HAHAHAHA!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let the sikaflex 521 party begin folks!
Sick it out to the max!
