Pinzgauer Rescue

[rmel]

Not to be confused with Search & Rescue of people, this is Pinzgauer rescue,
like Golden Retriever rescue, Pit-bull rescue -- you get the idea.

Well I must be nuts -- I know I am . Just took possession of a 73' 712 that
has lived on Winery property for 20 years, never registered, crawled over
Zinfandel, Pinot's, and Cab's. She needs a fair amount of TLC, price was fair,
but getting her back to proper condition will be a fair amount of work -- so
here we go

Well, I should add ain't no salvage project like Gekoadventures

Already placed orders for some parts from EI, list will grow fast.

Oh no, you did it.

[rmel]

Ya, I did Still crazy after ALL THESE years
Like, it's not that I don't already have enough to do with
the 710K but what the heck.

All paper work in to the DMV just waiting for plates.

Just glad that "puppy" found it's forever home!

There is a guy on Facebook selling lots of 712 parts including the body. Jason Wong I believe he is in Stockton Ca. Area.

[rmel]

Thanks for the tip!! I'll see if I can contact this guy.
Wonder where he is posting as it has not popped up
on any of the Pinz forums I am aware of.

It was on facebook on this page: Steyr Puch PINZGAUER around the World dated 12/25/18 by Jason Wong

[rmel]

Funny, found him right away, common friend; Andre @ Fatfab
Just sent him a message, I do need some 712 parts

Thanks for the links.

I am looking forward to seeing more of this great "learning opportunity"!

[rmel]

Me too

Contact The guy on FB responded, we will hook up this weekend.

Thanks for the pointer! This particular FB page is pretty obscure would
not have known about it otherwise.

[TechMOGogy]

His prices were steep when he 1st posted
Hopefully they have come down to reality now
Congrats on the new project - should be fun to wrench on!

[rmel]

Well if all goes well, I'll be talking to him this weekend and if reasonable
I'll swing by and pick some stuff up. Stockton not too far from me.

seems every time I try to save a pinz it cost me money to get it back to "everything works" condition. I think I do it more for the idea of keeping them alive then anything else.
Good Luck

Ya that's what I figure too. Well the price was very reasonable so I can afford to
toss in some goodness. I'm betting more than I suspect though. But part of this is
to keep me busy and out of trouble.
