#75 We restored this old Nissan Pickup truck
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- This time we have renovated an old pick up from the 90´s, a Nissan D21 TD27 with a wooden box. We have recycled and reused many materials such as a broken jeans in the dashboard and the old car oil to protect wood. Some craft and mechanic skills have been applied in this video. Enjoy!

I wasn't expecting a vehicle restoration video, but as Hans said, "... now everything is repaired what was broken, and that's good."
It's almost like a metaphor for life. Fix the things that are broken and things will be good. Thank you, Hans.
@@walthercantu Until you have ADHD and while fixing something you discover something new that's broken and go to fix it. Creating an infinit eloop of misery
@@RobertDoornbosF1 the struggle is real
x2!
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Please more with Hans. Because Hans is awesome!
Hans is a beast.
Agreed
Hans is een baas!
Hans made a special appearance and came back from retirement to help his friends. Lets just appreciate it. Remember what his hands looked like by the time they were ready?
hans is een legende meer hans jonge
Videographers/editors doing an awesome job so far this season!
music was better last season,
true! music is too loud for my taste though! (in case project camp reads this)
Ahh, the good old day‘s, when pickups were actually useful and could transport stuff, rather than being a status symbol 😔
I bought I little Ranger last year and I love it! I see these giant trucks, beds 4-5' off the ground and wonder how they would even haul anything in there.
modern trucks are way more useful than this old thing. My dad has several chevy silverados and you would not believe what they go through on the farm.
modern trucks are built for work, they just offer a hell of a lot more now. my sierra 1500 can haul way more and get better gas mileage at much higher speeds on or off road that a older counter part, but its also kind of a loaded truck i use for family stuff and trips across the U.S. My work trucks just have ac and radio along with current safety standards and they will still outperform and last through much more work than these old trucks would brand new. even then hotrodding and car culture is a fun thing to get involved in, especially these days with ev technology being thrown in the mix.
@@geoffrey6000 Most pick up trucks will never see a dirt road. 75% of pick up trucks in the USA tow something once a year or less. I don't doubt your dad use these machines for what they were meant to be used, but we won't deny that a huge number of pick up trucks are only status symbols in the pavement.
@@IceSpoon I highly doubt that 75% of people never use their trucks for hauling, yardwork, etc. Also not to mention, the above comment was about the trucks themselves, not what they are used for.
Around here where I am, you are not making it to the grocery store in winter if you don't have a truck. Also, my dad uses them for what they are meant and a whole lot more. Pulling hay equipment (on the actual field doing actual work as well), hooking a chain around a bale and dragging it through two feet of snow to the cattle because the tractor can't start, etc.
Hans is a skilled shade tree mechanic and therefore a valued natural resource!! I've met a few like Hans and they are worth their weight in gold!
You can tell he's spent most of his life with a wrench in his hands
Honestly, the best episode of Pimp My Ride I've ever seen.
And then they turned it into a hippie truck at the end lol. Hippie Commune Truck.
being portuguese i would love to see more videos of you talking with the local people that you help or buy things in Portuguese! you´re learning fast!
I believe today's presenter (I forgot his name 😓 - he's wearing the Zoo York hoodie) is Galician, so Portuguese is second-nature to him, since Galician/Galego has so much in common with Portuguese!
@@lulubelle0bresil i noticed that ! i didnt remember the name either xD
Adrian.
I would love to see a video that's a survey of everyone's native languages, if people are learning other languages while there, and any specific jargon or dialect that is developing in the on-site shared English
há uma portuguesa no projecto, a Rita
Big props to the editing team 🎬 Amazing job! The video was super engaging 🙌
Very! I unsubscribed last season after the videos started being boring and very repetitive (I understand they have to do a lot of the same work) but this video makes me reconsider cuz the filming and editing is perfect!
Tip for rust prevention: Take the oil, warm it up and mix with wax and very "hard" grease (mix in a hot pot so the wax melts) then brush this on, wait 10 min and drive on some dusty road. the dust wil adhere to the top layer of the mix and you will have a long lasting protection
(just the oil you brushed on is "too thin" and will be washed away by rain etc)
Hans is a treasure. I wish I had a neighbor like him. Great job on the truck! The blue jean bit was hilarious.
Love that you fixed an old truck.
I see lots of folks taking about electric cars like they fix all the worlds problems, but to fix up an old vehicle rather that buy new actually makes less pollution rather than buying an all new car
I would love to live in a community where every skill and trade is covered by at least one person, and where community spaces exist for newcomers to both learn and contribute.
Stories go that Hans is called Magic Han(d)s. Big credits to the editing team for this one 🙌
You guys have been needing a working truck like this for the longest time. Glad you finally have one. The "denim" interior is unique and oddly enough, it seems to work.
The outro was like a very down to earth Nissan commercial from the 90s haha
Who would have thought a car restoration video would be so engaging.
Just a word of caution for anyone wanting to use real wood in a vehicle interior - You do not want materials that can splinter in a crash. 90's vehicles don't have that great of a crash rating to begin with, so adding wood splinters to the mix isn't a good idea.
I'd assume they don't intend on crashing so I think it will be fine :)
@@Dannnniel I dont think anyone intends on crashing their car but it still happens!
@@supingo3339 It looks like the joke went over your head.
I think wood splinters are the least of your problems when you crash this death trap..
I drove one of those a few times. If you crash a few splinters will be the last of your concerns the steering wheel thought your nuggin will be wayyyyy worse
Bedankt Dave voor de fijne dagen op Project Kamp,het was weer super.
You made the right choice repairing an old thing instead of buying a new one! Less is better. Hans seems a great guy, "It's just a hobby" and proceeds to restore a car from the bottom up! Great people
I noticed right away due to the low ride height that this is RWD-only pickup.
4x4 are more expensive, especially here in Portugal, because anyone with a 4x4 pickup doesn't want to sell it, but I feel like in the long run it'd be much less a waste of money, because it would be far more capable and useful for the project.
Either way, the restoration of the bed was a job well done, these old wooden beds are usually manufactured right here in Portugal by companies like Arvorense, and they are definitely built to last!
That was a nice restoration episode. Would also suggest for a winch for the front and back of the pickup so it’s easier to pull the truck out of stuck positions, especially during monsoon season.
Yeah I reckon they just rely on man power though
Definitely a winch will come in handy not just for getting the truck unstuck. It will also help while taking out non-native trees. They should keep an eye out for a second hand winch.
I have a feeling this pickup could really use a winch and will have to be pulled out a lot if they do some real work with it.
Unfortunately the downside of buying a very cheap old base model pickup is this one is only RWD, 4x4 was an option. They are not very capable trucks for off-road use.
Seems like a winch is a good idea.
4x4 is always preferable for work trucks like this, but lacking that, a winch is a great backup.
The project kamp in the steering wheel its an awesome idea! :D
I can perfectly imagine the bunch of you arriving in this car, fully loaded with people, at the local national holiday party or so. The good life.
So good to see a vehicle restored, and so thoroughly! Power of community!
great job Kevin!!!! all of you did it great but Kevin surprise me with this jean and wood interior!!!!
I just kept thinking "If anyone can make this truck beautiful, it's these guys" and boy did you deliver. Love the denim touches! Great job everyone!
Kevin did an amazing job making that dashboard looks pretty cause that IS pretty and the Project Kamp patch is such a nice touch Yes Gawd!
More Hans would be exceptional! I love the Netherlands.
Thi clicking of the music at 28:52 exactly when the jeans is cut- *chef's kiss*. So satisfying! Good job!
And the Project Kamp patch is so lovely in the middle of the steering wheel!
Adrian has such a chill vibe. Underrated member of the kamp!
This took me back to my youth when I would goto junk yards to find parts to restore my car. It was great to see the team effort...especially Hans and Kevin.
The use of jean denim and mimosa wood for interior detailing was so well done. It looks great.
Love how much patience all of you have. Timelapses doesn't show how much effort you have put in every single job you do, but it's a lot of honest, tough work. Really inspiring experience to watch. And also Hans ❤ This man is like a rock, tough and honest. Regards for all of you!
Hey guys
Just a handy tip when replacing Diesel fuel filter Without a vice instead of using a g clamp just remove 2 housing nuts and mount housing upside down then put nuts back on
Much easier for filter removal 👍
Wish pickups still looked like this
Those old pickups are the best! No digital electronics. Tough. Good job.
Hans is such a funny and nice man, Shout out to him and to you guys. Proud of your work
Three cheers for Hans and everyone who put in all the hard work!
Wow, I bet the old owner is shaking their head and thinking that they couldn't have got the truck looking as good as this! I honestly didn't think it would work out as good as this either, but I forgot to take into account the determination and ingenuity of Project Kamp - as well as the skills of Hans.
Good, handy neighbor. May want to add protective steel plates for the underside of the vehicle. In time consider raising the front and rear for uneven road clearance. Add a winch to get out of trouble. Later some more leaf springs for additional load bearing. In time springs around the shocks or stiffer springs or stiffer springs with lift supports. Great new addition.
Next is the container.
Pimp my Ride rides again!
I miss Project Kamp so much between seasons. So happy you are back. Your updates are always interesting.
Hans is a RockStar!!!! Way to go boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!😎
I love seeing so many people with different talents all working together.
For snappy safety belts: Wash them and then spray some silicone oil on them.
Hair spray works good too or soak them in washing powder for few hours
Might want to make a denim steering wheel cover, keep your hands from burning this summer.
Not a fan of cars but this video got me watching until the end!!
This was better than the "Pimp my Ride" series on MTV! 😉 Seriously great job on repairing that old pickup. This is how to have a sustainable vehicle, not buying new electric cars!
Adrian finally got his truck 😁
You're lucky to have a guy like Hans
I searched for a used pickup here in Portugal for more than a year. I finally gave up on a used one and hunted for a new pickup.Only 3 options here now. Toyota, Isuzu, and Ford. 8 months wait times. I got very lucky last month, found and bought a Hilux with only 700kms, with wood cargo box. Car prices in PT are staggering. Already the price increased 2k. Your restoration is impressive. Denim fabric and wood are nice touches. The deisels are workhorses so it should last a long time.
in therms of off road Nissan is the king here and a lot of Mitsubishi as well. For pickup's that's a russian roller to be honest. If you have time for a curiosity, google UMM. Its basically a 4x4x tuna can, but we love it 😅
That is so nice to see you, guys giving that truck the second life! Hans seems to be a good mechanic…
Good old sturdy diesels with mechanics one could repair, brake discs you can change and not a motherboard in sight! The good old days.
Awesome renovation! I would suggest to finish it of with some exterior lights to help navigate in the dark (or to help as a light source for working in the dark).
Your Videos are always kind of a meditation to watch! And also it is really cool, to See how much old materials you use again and such crative ideas!
Keep on doing what you do guys :)
Hans is my new favourite Main Character... Plaid and Camo.... LOVEEEEE IT
Great job on restoring the old Nissan truck! It's always good to have a guy like Hans around!
Fab update, as always.
This season gonna be great. Thanks guys.
That white bodywork is asking for some awesome project kamp artwork!
Hans was such a blessing.
Kevin's a goddam genius - that dash looks fab
The team did a beautiful job, love they way you re-use materials and turn it into something nice!
28:43 Smooth editing of the cutting in time with the beat. This much detail especially in an extra long episode is testament to how passionate the editors are. I’m loving project kamp returning to my schedule 😁
The first clip of cutting up the jeans on the beat of the music 👌
it's amazing what a group of friends can do to come together and all pitch in and make the truck almost new. " Great job".❤
Love the video and the editing!! Project Kamp: car edition 😂
Big shoutout to Hans. More Hans content pls
Nice. It should hold out long enough before the Cybertruck arrives.
Hans is the man!!! Great job everyone.
One of the best episodes of Project Kamp!
The more you watch, the more you realise that Kevin is a make do and mend genius.
If he doesn't come back next year, you guys will sorely miss him. 😢😢😢
The "pimp my ride" episode that we didn't knew we needed LOL
great video!
Amazing teamwork! What a group of skilled and dedicated people, like yours, can achieve, is simply wonderful! Great job, guys!
Nice work! In five years you can retrofit it with a cheap old electric motor, but right now it looks like a great choice.
Lots of folks building electric cars out of older vehicles, especially if they have a broken engine. I'd say more like 10 years to allow for better kits and better battery technology
its not the motor that is the difficult or expensive part though, its the battery and controllers. with how energy intensive it is to create a modern lithium battery its likely better for the environment to just continue to maintain that little diesel engine until the pickup disintigrates because it will likely outlast the frame
Kudos to all most especially to Hans! The work and manpower hours it took to rebuild a dilapidated truck, equals more than what this truck could sell for brand new? A work of art by a group of passionate people who wish to reuse and refurbish a truck to benefit the Project Kamp!
2 things: I love the editing/the music it flows beautifully in those shots very pleasing and what was also pleasing was watching the whole video great restoration project
Never cease to amaze me with all of your talents. Great job.
great episode! whether it was planned or not, this video felt a lot more character oriented than previous videos, which is always great for a channel with a large "cast"! i love it!
I love the creative dash rework and the wood trim pieces for the vents.
I loved Kevin skills and creativity 🙂
Excellent video, however it would have been really interesting to hear about the cost of the project; how much the truck cost to buy and the cost of the parts to get it into good shape. I know vehicles in Portugal are expensive.
That’s so funny, recently I took a road trip to Colorado and realized I had to change the oil in my car last minute. Since I normally take it to the dealership I’ve never done an oil change on my car personally, when I got to taking off the filter it was a game of stab it a couple dozen times and try to unscrew it because some absolute unit of a person had to have screwed it on. Long story short by the end of my simple oil change I too was extremely dirty and had oil all over myself at 1 AM just a few hours before I planned to start driving. Keep up the awesome work guys!
This video was super packed, but don't forget to introduce the new people to the kamp. I would love to know more about them
You've got yourself a clever mechanic!
Nice job! The woodend and jeans part are so cool!
very satifying! but I expected some color, and your logo on the doors! great job guys!
Wow, that jeans idea is brilliant
These practical older pick ups are great for so many reasons; they have a flat metal tray with removable sides and back(way more versatile), The tray is much lower, so easier to load(some new trucks are so high that many items simply cannot be loaded by hand, although a slight lift kit will give more clearance), the engine bay can be accessed without a step ladder, the engine isn't full of sensors and computers, the other electronics are much simpler and vehicles like this don't cost a fortune to buy. If the engine is cared for you should be good for a long time. Also attaining as much auto mechanical knowledge as possible is very important in this kind of lifestyle.
Great videos- I enjoyed it very much- and I'm not usually a car girl. Great job to everyone involved in her creation! Love the wood and denim touches.
Watching your series have entertained me alot. Keep up the good work! And you're almost at 500k subs!
Hans is an absolut legend! Dutch Warrior
The truck resto is WONDERFUL! Congrats everyone.
I truly don’t give a damn about cars, but somehow this was top tier entertainment!
Are there any plans to lift this truck? It looks like it could benefit from higher ground clearance and a stiffer suspension especially if you will be using it for carrying heavier loads. It looks great!
Well done to the video editors!!! Finally the show feels grounded, earthy and warm again! A real comfort watch, which was sadly lacking in season 2
Some extra ideas.
Put Solar panels on the roof and bonnet and a power bank/inverter in the bed and use it as a mobile power unit around the site for electric tools.
Make a pulley out of a spare wheel.
Jack the truck up, run a belt from the driven pulley wheel to a saw bench. Large Powerful Saw bench for tree trunks cut into planks or any implement/tool that can be belt driven. I have seen a washing machine running from a belt drive off a car wheel.
Is there anything you all can't do? Great job on the new (to you) truck. Thank you
I was so impressed with this restoration! True teamwork made it happen! ❤
Hans and Jaime……yay! Great assets to the show.❤❤❤
Hans lives in my heart. He is precious!!!!
