*** 1982 Mercedes Benz Unimog 1300L Restoration ***

Unimog 1300L
This video is a Restored 1982 Mercedes Benz Unimog 1300L. The video is restored from beginning to the end, and videos throughout of it running.
My dad bought this Unimog, on eBay on 26th March 2017 from Doncaster. We got told it was used in the Military to tow a bomb trailer.
south-cave tractors east Yorkshire came in handy with sourcing a few things and of course the internet.
What’s been done to it:
• New stainless-steel battery box
• New stainless-steel exhaust
• Built new tow bar
• Injector pipe seals replaced
• Mud guard brackets for rear made
• Cab & floor been welded
• New floor on truck body
• Sign writing
• Powder coated Steel roof bar with lights
• Hadley Air horns fitted
• Re-built front inner arches
• Winch added to front bumper
• Cab been filled & sanded
• New shock absorbers
• Custom sun-visor made
• New Back mud guards
• New windscreen + window rubbers
• Custom made stainless-steel exhaust cover
• Tool box made to measure on drivers side (left)
• We made badges made on cnc + power coated
• Steel bumper guide’s that have been power coated
• Pickup hitch on the back been fitted
• Windows tinted + logo on
Paint
• Body (Graphite grey - 2 pack paint)
• Cab (graphite grey - base coat + lacquer)
• Wheel painted in graphite grey
• Chassis/front mud guards painted in U-POL Raptor black
Powder Coating
(East Coast Powder Coating, Hull East Yorkshire)
• Mud guide brackets
• Air filter housing
• Window runners in doors
• Wiper arms
• Air cleaner mushroom
• Front bumper
• Steps
• Mirror arms
• Steel roof bar
• Radiator cowling
• Polished & waxed with auto finesse
I have tried to put everything in order but unfortunately might not be perfect because we did stuff to the Unimog at different times.
All pictures and videos taken on a iPhone 7, Samsung S9 & smooth 4 gimbal.
We will be attending shows around east Yorkshire over the coming years along with our other wagon Leyland beaver 1948, here is a video of the restoration on it - • *1948 Leyland Beaver R...

    I drove a U 1000 demonstrator for a day back in 1986! Yes 86! Same cab design with a great 3 range 8speed gearbox which began my lifetime ♥️ of Unimog. The company didn't buy Unimog but did go for M.B trac 1000, which proved to be a super tractor over the 6 years I had it. Enjoyed your video 😊

    Very nice job on the resto I own the same truck it looks like yours came from the German Military like mine. I have the OM 366 turbocharged engine and when I picked mine up it had 21K miles on it the truck looked almost brand new. The 1300 is my second Unimog and one of the nicest most capable trucks I have ever owned! They definitely deserve the quality attention you put into this one, To the best of my knowledge there is not a truck built in the US that comes even close to the Unimog, if there is I dont know about it! Keep up the great work!

    YorkshireLass UK fair enough and fully understand after the time and effort that you guys put into the restoration. I have a 1962 Fordson super dexta (profile picture) that I’ve owned since I was 13 and although it has had a full engine rebuild and some paint I try to make it work as it was meant to so I do bits of ploughing, subsoiling, mowing and tree work with it as and when I get chance, it also makes it a hobby that pays for itself 🚜🛠👍🏻
