Unimog build threads / Been bitten by the Mog bug!
« on: May 05, 2017, 09:16:57 pm »
So just about managed to get the last 406 road legal and I spied another on Eblag! Drove to wales last night and collected it. The tin worms had a go at the cab but apart from that it's solid. 2.2 Merc petrol didn't show much signs of spinning but not quit on that yet even though a Cummins will be on the list. Few bits missing, no glass, no brakes, but never less very salvageable I think and too good for the chop! Vin under the bonnet missing and doesn't looked prepped for dvla/uk roads as still on blackouts.
Looking for any source of 406 body panels if anyone has any clues? :0) Many thanks.

Not too sure.. Went to Shrewsbury to get them. Could only get 2 in the BMW.. other two got lashed to the roof! :0) Haha! - I'll have a look tomorrow! I'm pretty sure they'll go straight on my ex-German Army 12.5x 20 rims? 😕

It seems pretty standard/unbutchered ex-German Army LHD. The M180 has been replaced with a Ford D-series engine and the back has had some seats put in as it was used as transport for game beaters. The bumper black out lights had been chopped so I put the LEDs in. After that I replaced the old German headlight bulbs with some more brighter ones so a lot better. Would be nice to keep it original but that'd not be much fun!? :0( Haha! Bit undecided at the moment.
Thanks for the messages Guys!

Unimog newbie here. Used to be into my landrovers and then fancied something a bit more tastier! :O) Think I've bought a 406? but am not all up on the Mogs yet. Just starting to find my feet with parts, mechanicals, etc.. I'm a Hydraulic Hose monkey by trade but also a plant fitter so not afraid to break a nail. More looking for a new challenge. Met the Moose and his lad earlier so dropped by! I've rather cheekily added a pic of the Mog and its VIN if anyone can enlighten me on anything it'd be greatly appreciated!  Already a few bits on my shopping list; rag top, big knobbly tyres, etc so let the fun begin!

Anyway, thought I'd say a quick hello!

Kind regards,

Dave
