    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!

    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!!!

    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
      @jonasfreitag  4 роки тому +1

      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.

      @@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 +447400084793.

      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.

      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?
