How did you get the dash out? I tried that once, but snagged behind the gear indicator. I am afraid I can't get it back together when I take it all out..

I grabbed a marker and continued the lines between the colours. Maybe today I can make a better picture. The weather is very nice now. Edit: When comparing the earlier pictures, the pattern does match. Looks a bit crappy on this pic tho..

Moonvisor painting project finished: From: To: The green tint is a little off, but I would say job well done. Had to get a can of forest green spraypaint, because the normal paint would not dry..

Still painting the moonvisor, after 3 trials with the green paint not wanting to dry, I put 2 layers of primer on. After work today, I did not make the mistake to paint the whole thing aua, only a small test strip.

Got my red Lund moonvisor off the M1028 and with a screwdriver I got it as far apart as I needed for paint. After some prepping, made a start on painting it camo. Got some matte black rustoleum and sprayed the underside black. Now the inside view from de M1028 is not red anymore, but black. It...

1 or 2 in the cab, and a car for service. They came driving. https://youtu.be/PrQ9dssynYs

Well, got the news the buyer of my M36 got home safely. He said the truck performed great, and after 1000 km, with 350 km to go, everything was just warmed up and it ran at its best. I had the tank still 3/4 full with black fuel, after every fuel stop with normal diesel, it started running...

Sold it..:cry: The truck goes to Hungary, 1350km from here.

Loaded up the M1028 yesterday with stuff belonging to my Deuce. Put it all in the back and then the rain started to pour down. A while later started up and went to the Deuce to unload. It took me a while, so while unloading, the storage owner came looking and talking and distracting me from...

Got the battery empty excuse.. Ohw well.. The guy from Hungary wants to come and look, and even buy it all the same day. It's about 1500km drive for him, he wants to drive home the truck. I told him about the minor issues with the truck and he was still interested. Let's see how that will turn...

-I just informed guy 1, with the Mog I want, there is guy 2. Guy 2 has been informed about guy 1. -Agree on your 2cents, now waiting for Guy 1 to respond to my mail. He turns off his phone after 8pm and sometimes forgets to turn it back on, according what he said in his mails. -If Guy 1 does...

The weather was nice overhere, so went out to the M36 and started her up. Let her run at about 1100 rpm for a while, gave her some "black" fuel she loves so much, and got all my tools out. I love the smell of the exhaust with the black stuff with frying oil in the tank. After about 30 mins I...

Got an offer to trade my (unrestored) M36a2 for an (almost fully restored) Unimog 406.:cookoo: What to do, just wanted to sell, so I could save up for another toy.. There will be choices made, or not.. My M36: The Unimog:

Mine has been converted a long while ago, to pass inspection here, they need to be H4, something about the lightbeam, dunno, hard to convert the word to english.

Found it! Also a few days ago, showed the fried piece of plastic and metal that was once a fuse to my uncle. He's a car mechanic. After one look, he told me what was in the sticky. To do: clean up the contacts, make the connection tight and the trouble should be over. My horn is functioning...

It's strange, because it happened overnight, so to say. A few minutes before i smelled something burning/melting. All other fuses were cool, it was only the main lights fuse that burned. and the replacement was hot also. Just going to put a 30amp in and put the headlights on a relay.

Burned the lights fuse on my way home. Heard a hissing sound, followed by a flame near my feet and my lights went out. Turned on the lightbar and drove to a gas station 100yards further. The 20amp fuse had caught fire. and melted down. Pulled the remains out and put in a 25amp fuse. I looked it...

Something like that. More like: It's dark, I'm tired, lets do this tomorrow, followed by the next day sleeping in and trying to remember what I was planning to do.. :shrugs:

Don't know, he said he would be in touch. They had to walk to their van at the storage lot. At that point I did not know what was wrong. When I knew the problem, I thought it was decent to let him know what was wrong and I was going to fix it. He was dissapointed there was no power steering...

Had a testdrive last monday with the potential buyers. Just 500 metres before the storage, my wheel bearings decided to destroy themselves. Very bad timing, but hey, what can you do.. My buddy came over and we crawled the remaining distance to the storage lot. Got the wheel off, also the hubcap...
