Hi from Tanzania
« on: January 04, 2016, 07:18:33 pm »
Hi All,

I have just joined the forum as I am busy re-building a 403 Unimog from 1970. This picture I have attached is of my Mog when I received it. Any advice and suggestions would be most welcome.

416 drum brake machine will be very good offroad not the most powerful machine, cab doesn't look to bad, start at the bottom and work upwards hubs brakes diffs gearbox engine in that order as that's the order you'll find problems with.
Where abouts are you ? And what are you going to use it for ?
Any questions feel free to ask  :)

Hi Derek, Welcome to the forum :)

Looks like a fare task you hav eon your hands there! Are you sure it isn't a 413 rather than a 403 as it looks very long.

Cheers, Brian  ;D

Welcome to the club! :-)

Looks  like the start of a good project build, so good luck with it.
