와 정말 아름다운 배경에 아름다운 300 GD G Wagon Restauration project 입니다. I am a korean. 재미 있게 보고 있습니다. 처음부터 .. :) 항상 건강하고 즐거운 인생 되세요.

[@pauljackson7451]

Great videos guys. I’m doing restoration on a 1984 460. Amazed, I have rust in exactly all the same places. Great job.

[@jonasfreitag]

Thanks Paul! I am not surprised to hear that.

[@dingalingalong]

Very impressive. Restoration newbies maybe, but really appreciate the honesty about what you know and the limitations you are working with. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Good luck in the next vid figuring out how it all goes back together!

[@jonasfreitag]

Thank you very much! Appreciate the support and the kind words. We're doing our best but it's been one of the hardest things we've ever undertaken.

You're very welcome! Thanks for following along.

Jungs, das ist soo geil. Erstmal, euer Englisch ist fast akzentfrei. Super. Aber viel geiler, ich liebe den Ansatz, ein Fahrzeug zu restaurieren, was benutzt werden wird und was auch ein bisschen was ab können muss. G Klasse, Defender, sogar Unimog etc. etc. kommen aus der gleichen Denk-Schule. Die Dinger wollen genutzt werden. Ich wünsche euch die gleichen, immer bleibenden Erinnerungen, die ich an meinen Bulli habe. Nie aufgeben!!!

[@jonasfreitag]

Mistfink1980 Danke für den Kommentar! Das freut uns sehr... Die Restauration ist hoffentlich nur der Anfang einer langen Reise durch Schlamm und Sand und Dickicht. Hoffe du bleibst weiterhin dabei. Das nächste Video kommt am 1. Nov.

Love this!

[@sha053]

Very nice! That’s a lot of work! You really get the impression of the commitment needed to finish such a project. I love these older Gs, sadly I had to give up mine because of rust from the harsh winter conditions in Norway. Wish you all the luck with this!

[@jonasfreitag]

Thank you Sir! Ours has seen its fair share of harsh Norwegian winters itself but it looks like we may just be able to pull it back from the brink of death.

[@YangGQ]

Great Video! I am so glad I did NOT trying doing on my 1989 W460 SWB 230 auto what you are doing. I do not have the skills! Also LWB is worth saving whilst SWB is not. I sold on the 1989 SWB and 7 years later bought a LWB with less rust.

[@bildillamagasin]

Nice work!

Alright. Looking forward to your feedback on the engine overhaul then. Prob gonna be in the Jan 1 Episode.

[@ugofrench524]

Hello from France ! Hope you are fine guys, i would like to know if the new metal part (already fold) that you are using to weld on irrecuperable part.. Where did you get it ? Is it affordable ? I have a kind of similar project with a G Wagon after my studies ! Thank you for your videos and have a lot of fun ! What is your formation in welding ? Do you know if i could learn by myself to do similar job ?

[@jonasfreitag]

Ugo french Hi Ugo! Thank you for reaching out. Did you already by one or just planning to? The prefab body panels are quite affordable. The best ones we got were just off eBay and cost around 30€. As for the welding. It’s one of those things that take a couple of hours to learn and a lifetime to master. I’d say just go for it and you’re gonna figure it out.

[@ugofrench524]

@@jonasfreitag Hi Jonas! Great thanks for your return :) I will try it ! Can't wait for the next episode !! I hope you will share yours adventures with the 4wd ! Please show us your trips ! ;) Ciao

[@mariusboitor7108]

Hello from Romania, good job with the welds. Where did you get the body panels ? I need a few pieces too. thank you. If your roads will pass through Romania, Maramures please let me know.

[@jonasfreitag]

Hi Marius! Thanks for taking the time to comment. The best panels we bought were the cheap ones off of ebay. So its still a bit of a secret by not many people will probably read this. We're planning on taking the G class to the Balkans for its maiden voyage next summer. Rodnei Mountains National Park is on our list so not far from Maramures at all. Would be great if we could meet up and you could tell us a few things about local do's and dont's. What do you think?

[@coreychristenson6500]

Great progress. PS. When is MiMi getting her own channel? 😜

[@steffenwichmann9100]

cool

[@tsfv22]

Awesome! Where do you get the body panels from?

[@jonasfreitag]

The rocker panels and front fenders (not in video yet) we got cheap off of ebay and we're really happy with the fit. The door panels and rear quarterpanels we got from a German specialist shop but the fitment sucks so wouldn't recommend those.

[@alexmoran2460]

Just found your channel. Subscribed.👍🏼 any updates?

[@gijsbouma4528]

For off-roading you need Line-X coating on the body :)

[@jonasfreitag]

Thats right. We don't really like the look of that though.

[@sangeenshahkhan]

I think I was after this G Wagon but was told that it was sold. So I bought another one in Bosnia its 300GD I have taken it apart but havnt started restoring it yet. Was it bought from a dealer that sell vintage vehicles ?

[@jonasfreitag]

Hi Sangeen, no this was a private seller. Would love to see some pictures of your project!

[@sangeenshahkhan]

@@jonasfreitag Hello Jonas, Check some of my videos. I restore vintage vehicles but am not much into making videos of the restorations so don't have anything too detailed. I have broken two g wagons so have a lot of parts and I am also looking for new parts suppliers like suspension and other bits and bobs that I need to replace on my g wagon project. So let me know if I can help and let me know if you know any good suppliers of new parts. I have just taken mine apart. Haven't started the restoration yet. The body doesn't need much work and the chassis and mechanics are also in good shape. The vehicle is in Bosnia but I am in UK so have to make time to go there hence the slow progress. Feel free to WhatsApp me on [phone]. Thats the vehicle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roCce4WXjJdorsU

Thank you for commenting. You are right, we haven't gotten into that yet, but we won't forget. Will talk about that when we get to the cargo storage system for the trunk. Will probably be another couple of months, though. Hope you're staying tuned!
