    Hi! We are restoring our 310 to a camper as well and love your videos! I have the same part cracked, the carburetor flange. I cannot find this part anywhere, are you able to help me out? Do you know the part number or does the shop you used have the ability to get the part?

    Hi Monika, it seems to be out of stock at the moment. You can check the correct part number here. Just select your model by VIN and then check out the specific part in the list or in the drawings: mb-teilekatalog.info/?lang=E&mode=BM&class=3&aggtyp=&markt=AG&mmod=308/310

    The low mileage is typical for fire trucks. Also usually well maintained. Do you also want to buy a T1 or what kind of van?

    @@CubeofCars in Northern Ireland there are very few vans like yours left as our climate is sorry on them. I’m thinking of a more modern sprinter van but large enough to have a sitting area bed and toilet with wash basin. Insulate it well and fit a diesel heater in the back like your find in Ford galaxy cars. I like the idea of framing the side walls roof and floor and the spray foam insulating before fitting the floor and walls etc. Has to be warm and noise deading to. Still a lot of planing to do first though and a bit of saving. I worked for a short time in the bus industry so I have pick a few tips up about coach building. I look forward to watching your build and see your channel grow

    Our plans match a lot... I want to build a fixed bed and separate dinette, full kitchen, toilet room, diesel heater, solar panels, insulation (but in Germany people usually don't use spray foam, but a different solution, so expect some "cultural" differences in the van build ;)

    Meiner war auch eine Werksfeuerwehr.... und zwar von Degussa. Die Schweizer sind doch eigentlich dafür bekannt, ihre Autos noch viel besser zu pflegen als die Deutschen! Ich bin mit der Wahl des Benziners sehr zufrieden. Fährt sich angenehm ruhig und der Verbrauch ist bei gemütlicher Fahrweise echt noch ok.

    Meiner hatte auch eine originale Benzin-Standheizung von Webasto, die aber scheinbar nie genutzt worden ist und die ich nicht mehr in Gang gebracht habe. In eine Reparatur wollte ich nicht investieren, daher der Umstieg auf die Diesel Autoterm.
