I am just in the process of finishing up my build on the samurai TDI and getting ready to start on the Pinzgauer build.
I did the Sammy project, because I blew the engine and always wanted a diesel Sammy. So the Pinzgauer project had to be put on the cooler for the duration.
But I am glad I did. Learned so much about he diesel engine, wiring, where to get parts, whom to rely on for doing work for you and whom to avoid.
Before some of you scream at me. Yes it wil be a body off restoration of the Pinzi. At the same time a minor upgrade of all the system and then building the camper ontop and into the Pinzi.
First vwas replacing all the shocks and coils with coil overs. This help solve the nose dive problem of the Pinzi under hard tracking. And yes all the originals parts no longer used will be forsale. That includes the complete engine, still in running condition, wiring harness, dash board complete, brakes system and all other 24 v systems.
The engine will be a 2.5 l VW tdi mated to a 6 speed transmission.
Disc brakes all around. Rebuild shafts, coil overs all around, 12v system prefab harness.
Camper will have a double bed, kitchen cooking area, portable fridge freezer while closely watching the weight.
Pictures to follow soon.
BTW way the tdi harness was not such a big issue as originally suspected to be.
