fesm_ndt Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 After doing some searches I found very little on Pinz's in here so I thought you would enjoy my rebuild to date (with the usual trials and tribulations:cry:). I bought this in January '09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That looks to be in very good condition, how old is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Unfortunately due to paperwork and bureaucracy I was banging my head against the wall regarding this vehicle as the plods in suits kept insisting it did not exist :mad:.

fesm_ndt Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 So after much anquish, frustration and thinking to give up I was offered another one. So I did what any sane person would do and bought it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a P90 although made in '93 so has the non intercooled 6 cylinder diesel (still VW/Volvo/Mercedes). The models are P80, P90 and P93 from Austria in the diesels. 6 of these went to UK:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 ,, what needs doing to it ? ? As I had two I just about got everything, but I am a point where I may be getting a few other odd bits off another variation I want on mine so more work A couple of coats of Light Stone paint. with the intention of mimicking the MOD Pinzgauers in Iraq/Afghanistan. Reminds me anyone do vehicle stencils???? For tyre pressure etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 At this point, well as of 4 weeks ago got up to this point. Basically focused on the aesthetic at this point as we were originally having to have it painted before doing the ownership paperwork but that was overcome. Once the body is pretty much back together we are starting on the mechanicals. Still negotiating a chunk of odd parts that will take ages to incorporate, but I guess a lot of the fun is the tinkering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil munga Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 you've done a great job transforming that pinz ,, my brother works at an independent garage doing repairs to pinzgauers , had two 6x6's in not long ago for repairs to the auto trans ,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep P93, slightly different grille, intercooled with a really stupid fuel filler (UK MOD :banghead:) Mines a P90, I got the same winch, but different front bar work. Trying to buy some P93 bits now as thinking of going auto box and the intercooler would be nice. Maybe will go do some work on the Pinz today. Talking about the scrapyard stuff that maintenance trailer in my other post is around 600 quid as did a quick run up there yesterday So does he have access to manuals???????

daz76 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I've always admired the Pinz and it looks like you're doing a fantastic job on this one. what about the other? will you finish it differently or keep it for spares? Cheers. Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 We got 3 in the yard, so the first one has had a lot of bits 'interchanged' so the mechanicals will be kept as spares. The tub will most likely get reused in a rebuild going to UK as out of all 3 it had the best body. I have not got anything done on mine for a few weeks, but my mate is catching up fast There was a coat of primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz76 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Great. Thanks Mike. A splash of paint makes all the difference, doesn' t it? Good luck with the rest of the resoration. Downhill all the way now :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil munga Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 hi all , fesm_ndt , Millitary have to deal direct with Puch for parts , even thought brothers boss can get a list of parts 1000s of pounds cheaper ,,parts fitted were new differentials , The've just got another one in for repaint and new transfer box to be fitted , He's had two in with low miles that needed auto gearboxes ,, on getting them repaired it was found that the trans are just the same as a saloon car gearbox , so they added stronger internals ,, pic of the one needing the transfer below ,, its got the 5 cylinder 2.4 vw engine , again this is a 1993 ,, learnt something today the reg is classed as the K series and like GB reg would be in 1993/4 = L reg , millitary = KL , , . In the background of the pic is a haglund in for breaking think its got the mercedes 6 cylinder OM602/?? turbo diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 He's had two in with low miles that needed auto gearboxes ,, on getting them repaired it was found that the trans are just the same as a saloon car gearbox , so they added stronger internals Yeah the auto box is a fairly standard ZF box (ZF4HP22 I think), Land Rovers and BMW's have them. I wouldn't mind knowing what kit they put in though as that sounds interesting....... I've never diasassembled an auto box as always had a phobia about them, so have to do one one day. Apparently the one part impossible to get is the torque convertor as the Pinz one is different. The MOD ones have the fold down windscreen kit, which one of my fellow Pinz nuts want. No spanner swinging for me this weekend as negotiating to buy a 6x6 Pinz for some attachments I am wanting, note not needing. The problem with doing car projects, you start looking at accessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downhill all the way now :coffee: It helps having a spare drive train as although it's prettied up, I want to get into the innards. So the idea is service the spare bits from the spare car, then swap out. Then maybe a trailer :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with doing car projects, you start looking at accessories , , yes think a few of us seem to have phobias with them auto trans , I've an S class W140 and the box is playing up as it changes into third , but I've a spare box were first has gone and was thinking of swaping first out of one and putting into the other its just knowing which gear is , which supose if i strip one right down if may become apparent ,, not to sure but think they said that the auto upgraded brake bands parts were from a sprinter type trans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) I guess if you got a manual and not many specialist tools are required, apart from a hammer, it should be doable.
