THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Rocky Mountain Westie Christoph Gut in Switzerland has built a unique Pinzgauer with extended chassis. He has used the tube extension of a 710 for a 712 https://pinzgauer.ch/assets/0000/4076/DSC015111747-0sw_thumb.jpg?1514499552 additional pics and the stories around can be found at https://pinzgau...

not aware of anyone attempting this modification. You could source the spacer from the 710 backbone and then rebuild a driveshaft. body mounts would have to be changed or the extension in the body tub done where no supports exist currently. I would think this would bring on a lot of issues. My tub ...

I am curious, has anyone ever stretched the wheel base in a Pinz by lengthen the drivetube and driveshaft? What is the drivetube made of? Is it cast material or...?

I have a 712 and I am scheming on some modifications.

Thanks!

thanks

What is the lower price?

Just getting back to update with some pictures. This is probably two weeks worth of progress. I already had all the floors cut, I just welded them in. I hade the passenger side fender made as well. I have been working on the skeleton of the inner dash, which will tie in with the center console. It i...

This top has huge potential. Someone should really buy it. I am negotiable on my price too. I am just trying to do some Spring cleaning.

Come check it out and make me a offer.

Gee I wonder where I saw that? :roll: http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6850 Odd looking thing. Thanks for the eye roll champ. what a great emotioncon. The above van in the link is not the one for sale. That is what my 710 is currently transforming into. The topper that...

Hey Guys, so many moons ago I made a custom hard top for my Pinzgauer Using a 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon Shell with the fiberglass pop top. It is about 1 1/4 wider on each side. You have to remove the rear roll bar. It sits up on the bed sides and attaches to the front roll bar and the windshield. It h...

Hey Guys, I am remodeling my Pinzgauer and I have some left over parts. I will ship by pallet to a commercial address. I have the following: Front doors, ok shape, far from perfect with glass. $75 each Roll Bars. Not perfect. some extra holes may be dilled in them. $75 each Windshield and frame. Ok ...

Just checking in. Any progress to report? I haven't touched in probably a month. Tomorrow it is getting tarped and pushed outside. Too busy working on other peoples projects. Stupid bills... Anyhow, it will probably get another couple weekend blasts befor summer and then it will probably go into st...

So here are some more pictures. I have been working on this project with my brother a lot in the past few weeks. We are learning a lot about metal shaping and the capacity of the tooling we have. We will probably have 150 hours into this passenger front fender and door. Most of the stuff was cut on ...

I have been doing a bunch of mini projects on the Splitzgauer and there is progress. I have gotten a lot of the front floor sheeted. I used 10 gauge which is almost 1/8 think. A little overkill maybe. There are also some pictures of the Passenger side Rocker/wheel well/ dorr jamb. I made that all ou...

Great job. When I was younger I wanted a 4X VW. Got stuck a lot...the VW thought it was a 4X. Can you still get the engine out if you need to after the build? Thanks for following along. Engine removal won't be a problem. The front doors are almost 4 feet long! I spoke with Jim at Goatwerks the oth...

Amazing work. Thanks for posting it. Arent you a little worried about that winch mount though? The approach angle is pretty severe and will kill progress in lots of situations. Yeah it was definitely a concern and a consideration. in the process. It has been a while since I saw a regular Pinzgauer....

Ok, so here are some recent pictures of the progress. It has been getting a lot of attention over the past month. http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab292/rockymountainwesty/Splitzgauer/IMAG0197.jpg http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab292/rockymountainwesty/Splitzgauer/IMAG0194-1.jpg http://i873.ph...
