Me too 🤔

Good info. Thanks!

Better to take fresh air from outside, don't recirculate hot air inside a cab that you may spend 10 hours in.

Because it's expensive :) But i will. whenever i get to remodel the workshop :)

i'm in Denmark. We have extremely strict rules, regarding lights. so that would also not be road-legal :)

Looks more like some undercoating, Tectyl ore similar.

I did notice. and yeah. i mostly ignored it :) Thing is, those lines of "Rust" comes from some lines, where the roof panel is cripmed together, on the top side. so the rust is in between that, and impossible to get to. so just cleaning and dressing the bottom of that, really wouldnt make a differance anyway. But hopefully, now that there is some insualtion on there, there won't be much condensation and moisture up there, so it souldnt be getting any worse, for the next many years :)

@@KJOff-Road I wish the best, but I guess this lack of additional work of max an hour will come will bite you in the ass in foreseeable time.

It's pretty weird to see an airtop mounted in the engine bay. I don't think, that it's a block heater, it is meant to heat the cabin. In the army we had Pinzgauer and Haflinger., both wirh aircooled engines. They had a windscreen defrost only, because that is upto code. The codriver could stick his frozen fingers into the slot, that was the only part of the body we could heat up. We always made jokes, that the heating only has two stages: Cold and fu**Ing cold 😂

@@stefankaufmann8257 Dear stefankaufmann... It's definitely mainly for cabin heating but maybe used for slightly preheating the engine too. I added something to 1 sentence of my comment to make it better understandable. 2) We had 3 big 22.000 ltr. Tanklastzüge when I was a kid in the 1960's and 70's, In winter time, the drivers wore thick clothes and shoes. Additionally they stuffed rags and clothes into the door gaps to stop cold air from coming in. I know that because sometimes respectively in certain situations my father drove one of the trucks and I was allowed went along. The last respectively newest truck we owned was a Daimler Benz 2020 with 200 hp. The tractor (Zugmaschine) had 3 axles and the first two were steering axles. The 3rd one was the drive axle with 2 tires on each side. 3) I guess that almost every VW Käfer (bug) driver knows exactly what you mean about putting the fingers near or almost into the windshield heating slots. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

@Chr.U.Cas1622 it is for cabin heatimg, because it's useless to heat the finned cylinders. If you want to heat the block of an aircooled engine - there are no larger aircooled engines in fact, they are cooled by the engine oil - you have to heat the oil pan. Compare the last aircooled Porsche engines, they contained about 13(!) liters of oil. Aircooled engines are cool - true. Air does not boil, air does not freeze ( Ferdinand Porsche). Since my years in the army, i hate camping and i hate aircooled engines.

@@stefankaufmann8257 As I said: "A kind of block heater". Maybe I should have written " A kind of engine preheater"? Simply because of the fact, that if you preheat the cabin of a vehicle (especially a cabover), almost everything gets warmed up at least a little bit! The seats, steering wheel, steering column, windshield/windows, the metal of the cabin and everything that is in the cabin or comes in contact with it. This is a physical fact and can't be denied. Of course would a water cooled engine be heated up even a bit more by only using an auxiliary heating respectively a Webasto parking heater. Because usually the heater core of the cooling systems water cycle is inside a cabin. But of course there are exceptions.

You are right. it makes sense for them to keep the engines warm. Although, that is not the case for this particualr heater. this one is only set up for heating the interior of the cab :) Well, to be fair, the last vehicles i got, i really didn't spend any money on :) But you are right. i really do need some compaced gravel, in front of the workshop. and i will. it's part of the plan, for when i get around to re-model my workshop :) Also, it has been unusually rainy this year. so it's the first time that the ground out here, has been this soft. so it really hansn't been that much of a problem, untill now. As usual, Thank you for watching along :)

Haha. the real ones will be those that remember Team Army Trucks :)

I could. but that would also not be road legal. as i can only have two dip-beam head lights. We have strangely strict rules, regarding the lights.

​@@KJOff-RoadYou could have 2 lights on each side. One dipped and the other for main beam. Like the Ford Capri. Or older model BMW 5 series

I can't replace the entire headlight for an led one, no. Even if it is marked and approved. the truck itself has to be approved for it as well. and also be equipped with automatic light-leveling. that also has to be approved. and no such approvals/parts exist for these old, unusual vehicles. But, the LED bulbs might be an option though. so that's the part im looking into :)
