Welcome to the unimog club :)
Hope you enjoy looking around the site. Sounds like you have a good project to carrying on with. It would be great if you have time to put some pics up, as we all enjoy looking at other mogs  8) ;D

Hi Kevin, and welcome. I read your question about the wheels and axles just now, but am not sure of the answer. Villager is your man for that, and I'm sure he'll be along soon!

As casto has already said, if you have any pictures we would love to see them. A good project is very interesting to follow so keep us updated. What do you plan to use the vehicle for when it is completed?

Hi Kevin, welcome to Unimog club uk :)

Bit of a favourite of mine, the 411. I was looking at a 401 in south Africa, but dad wouldn't let me buy it :( it had an unusuality about it though, it had an om615 fitted, along with a u600 gear box, I emailed the seller but they never got back to me.

And as already mentioned pics are always good ;)

Any questions feel free to post them :)

Cheers, Brian  ;D
