German 1989 L300 build

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Wired the switches for the lights today:



This is how i`m working since it get`s dark that early:



Then i adjusted the lights:



They`re incredible bright...

[FalcoColumbarius]

Did you figure out why she wouldn't start the other day?

Falco.

[Steinbruchsoldat]

For whatever reason the spark plugs got wet, so it wouldn`t start. Those NGK spark plugs are broken if they were wet one time. You can`t see it, but they won`t ignite the gas, even if you can see sparks...

So i put a set of new spark plugs in it and it starts as usual...

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Finally mounted remote power door locks (?)...

[Steinbruchsoldat]

First i repaired the parking brake today:



Then i bought some stuff for the camper conversion, that i decided to start today:



Then i started fabbing some mounts:



Time to bring out my woodworking skills ( ):



This is the bed in sleeping mode:



And as a seat:

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Started with the cabinet today:



This is what i got done today. My neighbor showing the bed:



And the "couch mode":

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Almost finished the cabinet today:



Upper mount:



The bed still folds up:



I need a good idea for securing my clothes in the cabinet while driving. Don`t like the elastic strap solution...

[nxski]

Could you not put doors or droors in to hold your clothes?

[TardisDeli]

On Pablo and Anna's Deli they install slider doors for their cabinet so it won't interfere with you back rest system.

[FalcoColumbarius]

Bungee cords are simple and utilitarian, easy access and recognition, less weight.....

[Steinbruchsoldat]

First i painted the sides today:



It came out "good from far but far from good "...

Then it was time to remove the rear bumper. I didn`t need to remove a single bolt, i just ripped it off:



We placed bets on how much is left of the support. Well, i won, because i said nothing is left...



Me removing the few bits that were left:



All the crap that came out:



And some paint:



Will add a new steel rear bumper on monday...

Test fit of the mattress. Still need to cut it down:



I think the spare needs some paint:

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Fabricated a rear bumper this afternoon. Mock up:





Welded and cleaned up:



Painted:



There`s an offroad event coming up this weekend, that`s why i`m going that crazy with building all that stuff that fast. I`ll also get a propane kit at the event...

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Got the bumper installed today:

[R.Costa]

That bumper looks great!! I like it!!

[Dingus]

Build is looking great! What about a bungee style cargo net for the cabinet?
