Unimog Club UK

Big news! we have bought another Unimog  that brings the total to 6  unfortunately thats one too many according to dad (although in my opinion its too few ), or is it a half to many, as we did have 5 and a half mogs for a long time.  so anyway, the Landmog will be for sale soon.

Well, some more info on the new beast, i believe, is required.

What have we bought?

- U1100 416 141
- torque converter gear box
- roof of its absolutely screwed, doesnt matter anyway as we're chopping that off.
- plenty of bits to swap onto the 406 145
- disk brakes
- '78 mog
- low hours (just over 2000) and low milage

Plans

- roof off, cage on
- Mount double drum verner on the back, allows balance and recovery
- possible turbo
- lighter springs
- Spray it Unimog Club Uk colours (green and gray as mains, with a few bits orange)
- then the usual, bucket seats, harnesses etc

Got it from Atkinson vos at a reasonable price with a seized clutch, so collected it and took it to A.C. Price to sort that out, myself and dad had engine out, clutch off and cleaned (rust removed, hence why it was seized), and engine back in within 6 hours, got to be some kind of record that, got to say though we've done it enough times  so next is basically chop the roof off and stick a cage in it, then we're thinking about having some fun in it before putting the winch on havent got any pics at the mo as it was a bit of a rush to get the clutch done today and my phone went flat :/ job went well though

Yep, thats the one, bit of an ugly duckling, useless to most people with the torque converter box, but its what we wanted for the off roader.

Mums got a tumble dryer, dad always moans about it being used to much, maybe it's cause of the long walk???  like I say, we're getting rid of the landmog a g Wagen, and the imp.

Haha! Well didn't want to rush things, and I don't like starting threads without pictures or progress and I'd say we have a bit of experience when it comes to working on mogs

youtubes a fabulous resource, but not for info on how to work on mogs corsa's and combo's its good for though

its not home yet! :S could be dangerous though

Yeah come on fella, pull your finger out and get some pics up! We're all waiting...

finally some pics! our mate chris dropped it of with his truck on saturday, so it then got parked in the yard, on the correct side of the washing line

here it is:


yummy long chassis, with new fuel tank 


front view


gear levers (ten points to the man whos spys the special lever and can tell me what its for )


back windows, to replace the 145's **** ones


bottom of cab needs some work


nice and clean under the bonnet


With hydraulics, gonna fit them to the black beast, along with the air system


and dot 5 brake fluid, very nice 


gonna remove the glass tonight, then the roofs getting the chop got some heavy duty drum brake rims and some xm47's to fit to it as well, so should look a beast!

  this one would have been no good for you anyway, it has a torque converter gear box, which is no good for running a chipper off as it dappens the force, which is no good for a chipper as you want a sharp smack so you would have had to fit a standard or cascade gear box.

got the glass out, should be good for the 145 as thats had **** glass for years
