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

Thanks Vince and others for the info. Sent out several emails to begin the hunt for parts. :) Any input on the questions I posted would be very helpful as well. I imagine you guys get tired of the questions here after some point, though I will try to keep them direct and to the point when I ask them...

seriously, if I could find a place in Sweden where I could get some body parts for this, particularly the cab and roof, I would do it! Id love to have the Alu/Zinc stuff, mine is steel, and its going to take a ton of work to get it stripped down and then repair all the bondo and rust patches.

Had some questions after my initial attempt to fix a problem with the C303. Any help would be greatly appreciated: 1)The fan shaft is squeeking badly. I attempted to tighten the belt bracket on the alternator, but the belt is shot. After spending an hour myself and then having a mechanic on a lift t...

I ordered a pair of Bestop Trailmax II Pro seats in black denim, TruckLite LED headlamps, Dual Marine CD stereo deck and a CCD backup camera system with a 7" monitor to replace those parts in my volvo from Amazon today! I will post pics as the items arrive and I start working on it. I pulled of...

I wondered about how easy it was to bring this across the border. I understand now: simple and free border crossing with new truck; They let me in without paying a dime. Go to get new tags and register it, however, oh that will be 1400$. FU very much, sneaky state license bureau. I would have prefer...

Excellent idea, we could take over that pretty new parking lot of theirs! My schedule is completely flexible, so you guys pick a date and time, though a Friday or Saturday night would be the most fun there. It would also be the most difficult time to park them all together unless we went earlier in ...

Well, I finally got the Volvo and she made it home from Vancouver to Gig Harbor (203 miles) without a hitch! She rattles, she leaks, she squeeks and she needs some serious TLC, but I am in love love love. Mechanically she is extremely sound and looks like shes been gone over and well tended to, thou...

Went shopping with my SO today, for her birthday, to get a couple of items to add to the volvo. http://images.plurk.com/2nuPWBhCTUgHfE0DujFIlu.jpg The 10-22 was her valentines day present, the 9mm carbine was her gift today. Because nothing says I love you like exercising your constitutional rights ...

definately purchasing this, barring any major import difficulties or mechanical surprises (though neither seem likely at this point). I will do a full picture series on this once I get it here, should have it home by mid-October. Got the funds ready and went and got my DL passport ordered a couple d...

...and hoping that this wouldn't cause the lot of you to storm my house with pitchforks and torches. I've been going over all the reasons why this would/wouldnt work, and the list is leaning heavily towards the possible, but then I have never owned a c303 or an electric, though I am technically capa...

Howdy, MadMax here, finally going to take the plunge and isolate myself from the mundane world of normal vehicle ownership and get something worth driving. Ive been searching for about 6 months, doing lots of research (love this site, btw, its been a huge help in learning about all this...). I'm in ...
