simon stolly Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I recently acquired a Unimog 404-1, prior to me owning it, it was a radio body from the Swiss army. I plan to rebuild it to GS flat bed spec, as it has come to me with out any rear body and a flat bed would be of more use to me, not mention better off road. Some of the things I need for It are: compressor air tank rear body PTO The cab is quiet good with on minor rust and dents. If anyone can help me with spares, suppliers, addvice, it would be appreciated. Any other mog fans out there???

ian2b Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi Simon, Maybe you can get together with John and make a whole vehicle. John's recently recoverd Mog. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i272/ian2b/JohnsMog.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon stolly Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Interesting, but as I'm 6'2" a radio body would be murder on my back! not getting any younger you know. As to the project if John is going to rebuild this mog I think he has his work cut out ,( not to mention a bit of rust) [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poptopshed Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 and dents :-D We were just testing the Mogs capabilities. :whistle: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/Coyneymog/DSC00258.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/Coyneymog/DSC00259.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/Coyneymog/DSC00257.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/Coyneymog/DSC00263.jpg[/img] Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Four wheel drive really doesn't work as well when two of them are in the air you know....there just isn't the traction ! :-D Simon - good place to look for bits is ebay . Always seem to be 404 bits coming up , even dropside/flatbed bodies occasionally . Westfield 4x4 have an ebay shop and always have loads of 404 bits and some panels . Bit pricey but what isn't ? I've also found that Simon Ward at Atkinson Vos is really helpful although they mostly deal with newer stuff these days . Good luck .

Any more photos of Mog abuse? Grumpy told me it had never been raced or rallied, and had only been driven to the shops by it's former lady vicar owner!!! :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Coe Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Any other mog fans out there??? Another Mog fan joined the forum yesterday ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poptopshed Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi Gareth welcome along. :-D Post up a picture of your mog to show Simon what a well looked after one is like.

Gareth Coe Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Nice display!!!! My mog was originally Swiss, any ideas where I can get some paint of the correct shade? If you know the code then any decent finishers will mix some up for you. Being European it'll probably be a RAL number. The place with the most in-depth knowledge is here --> http://www.unimog-community.de/index.php?newlang=eng How's your German? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon stolly Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 My English isn't good! Thanks for the info, I have mate who is fluent in German. I've found VK cars in Belgium, who do 404 spares alot cheaper than can be had over here. I am planning a trip over there soon, possibly to pick up a rear body and rake of other stuff I need. Depending on the vehicle I go in, there may be a spare seat(s) if any other Mog owners want go other with me to check them out. The owner tells me he has just bought 2000 tons of unimog spares!!!

Gareth Coe Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I went to see Andy (VK) last year. He told me he didn't have much Mog stuff left, but lots of Pinzie bits. I did manage to buy a new door-top from him though. Nice chap, but not the only source of Mog spares in Belgium ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Coe Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The resto is nearing completion! Latest photos here --> Heidi's Web With any luck, she'll be ready for Mogstock 2 in a couple of weeks :sweat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Coe Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Now I'm replying to myself :shake: http://www.foodfight.org.uk/mogstock2009/index.shtml Mogstock number three! Trust me: if you've got an interest in Mogs and like to see grown men (and women) being incredibly silly - not to mention fire-poi, absinthe, chainsaws and giant camp-fires - then you need to come to Mogstock3 :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The bloke that advertises on e bay sounds ok , was helpful other day over munga stuff, chat , prices do sound dear tho as mentioned earlier........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Coe Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The bloke that advertises on e bay sounds ok You mean Manfred? I think his FleaBay name is Bluemann (or something similar) Yes: he's a helpful chap, and a good source of spares but he is a bit pricey (big fish in a small pond). There's a chap in Turkey called nos4jeeps who does Mog bits and pieces - he's very reasonable ;¬) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
