[@tramptruck4859]

Nice work - a big project just to be ready for tbe camper build!

[@iancampbell582]

Fantastic build and hope you're correct regarding the turbo

[@dcummings7253]

Great platform to start with!

[@MegaFinde]

Awesome build. Good pictures and explanation whats done. Love it. Great inspiration for mine c303 build.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

in regards to. turning radius is it possible to either make one of the rear axles either aTag Axle that raises / and /9r add a steerable option to the Axles . I don’t know much about the Laplanders but i did spend many years disassembling many 1960 s through 70s Volvo Wagons for my Dad who hoarded parts for his own personal Volvos and resold to the LocalHot Rodders who loved Volvo Disc Brake sysystems that could be easily adapted to American built Muscle Cars and other Hor Rods prior to Companies like Wilwood being around those old Volvo systems used double Piston Master Cylinders and 4 Wheel Disc Brakes i forget the exact detail but Volvo also used a Proportion Valve or Manifold that in the event of a front Brake failure the Mater Cylinder would still send Fluid to the other brakes on the Vehicle for Safety those Old Volvos also used Bosch FuelInjection that was also the same System that Porsche ,Volkswage,Jaguar ,and Audi used so we pulled that out of those Vehicles for Profit we lived inSouthFlorida and the old B18 motors were used in many Power Boats that used the Volvo Penta Outdrives as welll My Dad and i did this as a small side business as we could pick up a decent running Wagon for under $500.00 and double our money on the parts and ScrapValue of the body and Unibody Platform

100 % bare ok det der 👍🏻 har selv lige købt en gaz 66 som jeg skal igang med

[@jamie_grieve]

Great job so far! ~I love that you show the details and your comments (in English, thanks) are useful. The splined shaft from flowfit fits the input gear in the transfer case? I guess that's the same spline then as some hydraulic pump or motor? I guess you have 120mm above the chassis behind the cab up to where the chassis bends up for the back wheels? I'm curious if this will be used for water tanks? Have you a build thread on any forum?

[@85nowak]

shaft is from hydraulic pump/motor. can't remember size.. from the lowest part of the chassis to the highest, there are probably 100 mm. I will try to get a 100 liter black water tank over the first rear axle, between chassis.. always forget to write on those threads, but have one here www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/volvo-tgb-1314-6x6-expedition-camper.168868/page-4

[@CHUVYNATORS]

Part 2 please give us more

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Wow you really did some incredibly nice Custom fabrication and upgrades but i am a little confused as to why i was always under the Impression that the overall design of the Volvo is a good one and reasonably reliable like most Volvo products ? being American i’m going to guess that a lot of the Mercedes parts you used are available in your location and are reasonably priced ?

[@KenKnowledge]

Awsome video, Nice project. Slow down the speed of the slideshow in part two. Where did you buy the truck? Here in Sweden? Subscribed. :)

[@85nowak]

bought it in Denmark, by staaling exports in Viborg. it was one of those with aluzinc treatment.

[@DjOttoD]

just curious i'm also from Denmark, how much died pay for the truck? do you know if u can "downgrade" the C303 to van/car status in Denmark? and how much does the tax cost for the C304?

[@85nowak]

hi. in 2012 I bought it for 35,000 kr. (4.700 euros). chose a 180% registration fee, and paid 12,000 kr. (1.500 euros) for tax. Would very much like to have it at 3.5 T total weight. but with camper case, equipment and 4 people, it will not be realistic. kept the car at 4.5 T total weight. The car must have its own type approval number. which an engineer can do before car inspection. cost me 9.000 kr(1.200 euros).. have put in new diesel engine and changed some things. Am a little worried if I will get it approved for car inspection. Is not so much a vintage car anymore :))

[@DjOttoD]

@@85nowak Hey Thanks alot for the answer :) so total for mandatory stuff around 60.000 dkk. do u know if a C303 can be registret under 3.5T? thanks again :)

[@85nowak]

@@DjOttoD The Volvo c303 (4X4) is no problem and the c304 (6x6) low body. TGB 1314 - (15) with box, can be converted into van under 3.5 T in Denmark.. Might also be a passenger car under 3.5T, with only 2 seats in the front. Preben Egelund (AutoConsult.dk) can make all the paper for the Danish Transport Authority. And really know a lot about it

[@allanklausinsky9195]

den er bare super lækker godt job

[@henrikolesen64]

awesome - jeg har planer om et projekt i samme stil

[@maxpower9340]

Not sure about changing the original engine that only has got 11500KM on it

[@85nowak]

Hey. may sound wild, but there are some benefits to diesel over gasoline engines. the fuel economy is better and a better torque at low revs. a diesel engine also handles water crossings better due to no spark plugs. but after all the cheating with diesel pollution, bad reputation. maybe gasoline engine was not such a bad idea :)))

[@maxpower9340]

Although a good conversion. I am sure the Merc engine has more torques and power but an engine with only 11500kms on it is brand new. Well old but not used much. That engine would be good for 250,000 miles. Personally, I would have stripped and rebuilt the engine, because it may have been sitting for years :) But yes diesel has some advantages TBF

[@krilitsch1]

@@85nowak First of all, very nice build *thumbs up* Diesel engine also keep a good engine temp under terrain driving but there is a big cost in both time and money that have to be calculated :( so I keep my B30 for a while longer ;o) Keep up!

[@caleidoo]

@@maxpower9340 The Mercedes engine has 210 Nm, the original gas engine had about 206 Nm if it had the Volvo B30A engine. So the difference is small. It's definably not going to be very fast if that non-turbo diesel is going to have to pull a nearly 5ton vehicle with a gear box with ratios from a luxurious E-series.

[@MaraDaCoriovallum]

Wow, wat gaat dit voor een ontzettend mooie auto worden....ik ben echt erg onder de indruk hoor.... .....ik heb maar een Volvo TGB11 maar ben nog lang niet zo ver als jij....

[@ImNotSoll]

Part 2!!

[@muckezimmer2463]

Hi, Nice conversion. Just one question. Is your altanator on the original position. At the Om606

[@krilitsch1]

What happend, what was the outcome of your build?

[@tylerlynn5392]

How do I get a hold of you? I have a lot of questions. I am in the TGB group on FB. What steering gear box is that?

[@85nowak]

i add my email to the channel now. Or just pm on facebook, i wrote on the tread.. power steering is from Mercedes GD 240

[@tylerlynn5392]

@@85nowak whats your name on FB? Yeah i did go back and watch again and saw mercedes g class.

[@dannesvanstrom3408]

More updates please?

[@85nowak]

definitely, working on it. hope it gets ready to drive this summer

[@hilledegroot]

You might want to add the turbo.

[@85nowak]

i dont need that torque, i have 6 gears and time :) just hope it can maintain top speed of 85 km/h without any problems.

[@hilledegroot]

@@85nowak i drove a tgb11 with a turbodiesel mb, it felt just as fast as a b30a. However there is a story on fb about the expierence with the non turbo diesel.

[@85nowak]

@@hilledegroot have run a tgb 13 without turbo, and the old gearbox. was fast enough up to 50 km / h but ran out of gears 🤣

What travel speed on motorway with that engine. ?

No idea 😁 sorry. Still working on it, hope it hit the road this year!
