    I am a member of the volunteer fire brigade in my home town in Austria and we have one of these.
    They are slow, loud and absolutely brilliant. Every time I drive it it puts a smile on my face.

    Great video again, this will be a good build, but I think the shutters are a feature that need to be kept well at least some of it, there must be a way to have your windows there and weather seal the rest with a clear resin or something? Just an idea.

    Yes! Love a Pinz! Can't wait to see this build develop. The tube chassis/portals makes for excellent off road ability, but it is quite a complicated set up. You'll need to make sure that the multitude of seals/gaskets are in good nick. I'm also going to be fascinated to see how you tackle the pop-top, which I think is 100% necessary. Quite an engineering challenge. But I know you'll work it out. Best thing about you being back in a build phase? Bring on the TTTs! 😂 I'd like to see someone tackle an engine/transmission swap on a Pinz, but maybe not for a camper, more for a comp. truck. If you're going to be tackling remote places, someone that'll run on cat piss and can be fixed with a hammer and chisel may be more appropriate. Really looking forward to this one guys. Off to have a cold shower now. Couldn't feel the waft from that fire beater 😂😂😂

    You missed a trick John. *YOU CAN WELD ALUMINIUM WITH A MIG WELDER* Two ways - either spool gun or normal gun with a teflon liner inside - You must use AL5 5356 wire which has 5% magnesium for added strength. Its a lot easier and faster than TIG welding Ali. Good luck with it all

      Cheers mate, Yeah I used to have both actually , the Teflon liner was a bit of a pain as it worked ok but used to snag the wire quite allot so had to mess about re feeding through a fair bit, then had a spool gun which was much better but still can’t get a great finish so sold them and went for the tig, I was gonna mention it but I thought allot of people would of got bored me going on about all that 😂, 👍

    Welcome home
    Nice rig, but very surprised that they let you drive it home with the blues still on it
    On the back, in place of the shutter, I would beef it up so that you can hang a spare wheel (or two) on there
    19:00 - you can use MIG on Aluminium (and Stainless Steel), just need to swap out the wire and in some case the gas.
    For the TIG machine, I would invest in the pedal, as it gives you way more control over the "heat", if it starts to blow through you can ease up and it will turn the torch power down. Also you can position the torch with no worry of an arc and then use the pedal to start

    • @truebluetravellers
      @truebluetravellers  4 месяца назад

      Yeah I thought the blue lights were naughty but all the sirens and that have been disconnected,
      Yeah I used to have a mig with a liner in to do ally and I also tried a spool gun too, both worked really well but still not ideal,
      Yep gonna order a pedal mate, glad I’ve tried without the as I now realise why it’s needed especially at the end of the weld 👍👍

    Hi there TBT, I love your choice of steed now, the oily bits are pretty bulletproof and I understand VW used the engines in their commercial vehicles, when I was in the motor trade years ago I was offered one for peanuts and foolishly rejected it, but back then it was all about shifting stock, and it was a welcome return for 3Ts, see you soon stay safe.

I hope you had a good feed too (5 plate minimum!). Thank you very much for the shout out, you've made my day and thanks again for introducing me to the wonderful world of Grill Inn!😂
    Wow! I'm really looking forward to this build and seeing another addition to the garage! You've got me (and I'm sure the rest of us) all guessing to where it'll be going when you've completed it... Keep up the cracking work as always you two. ❤

      You deserved it!!! Legendary!! 💪😘💪😘 😂😂 we did indeed, of course too much of a feed and had to waddle back to the landy 😂 thanks so much, we absolutely love it and can’t wait to see how it turns out. Few options on where we go depends on how long the build takes really, would love to do Albania, Greece and Turkey but we also want to do the North American Arctic in the Sainsbury’s van this winter, so just depends on timing really as it’s a big old drive down there.
      Also think it would be wicked to take to Iceland in the summer and do the f roads but don’t think we will get it done in time for that this year so will just see how we get on 💙
