See you next week :) Chris, Ange & Oaks

So fun as a swede that was a conscript and used these vehicles to see them finally become popular outside of sweden, they are really great off roaders and pretty reliable for what they are. Keep the content coming!

Great to see you back! Can I make a suggestion... Turn the Volvo around and keep it in the front of the shop, do projects at the back half... Easy to roll it out if needed in the future!

What a fantastic machine .Chris you have your work cut out for you ,but after the mog build you will breeze this in .The van also a fantastic pick up .I bet you are really feeling the cold .Crank up the diesel heater.Also Ange i hope you were spoilt for your birthday as well.stay warm stay safe .really looking forward to this new build and adventure

Sweet! That bring back some memories. I converted a c303 , T11, into a mobile home/adventure vehicle in the 90s. Took it through north america, canada, alaska some 40000++ km adventure trip. Kept the original volvo B30 engine, so lots of lead additives was used. It had a PTO winch. Replaced the radiator for a bigger one. Mounted a 230liter extra gas tank to get some decent range. 😅 the thing had really shitty gas mileage.😂

Im not sure what it is but i find your videos so watchable! Thank you for the entertainment and loving the family aspect now - its cool to watch you "grow" over the years and feel like i nearly know you after a few year of following. Keep up the good work you three!

Congratulations on the new purchase and the next chapter for you guys, very exciting and can't wait to watch this build series unfold. Quick Word of advice on those drum brakes chris mate, should really spend the money on having them machined rather than hit with a sander or wire wheel. You do run the risk of brake shudder consequently as the surface needs to be smooth as when making contact with the pad

I tell you what. Being back to watch you guys start a new build is like coming home . Feels Good. Cant wait to see.

Mixed feelings when i watched this when i slept in, ate in, froze in and lived in that vehicle many times while doing my army service back in the times. Good luck to you. 😄👍

My truck ❤ for a year when I was in the army. You will be amazed what this car can do. Lock all diffs and if that dont work, add chains on the tires and It's unstopable. I had the ambulance version. Only difference is a higher top.

Welcome to Europe guys!!

Missed you guys! Hope you and and your little one are doing well.

Just got back from Sweden from visiting the inlaws, Biltema is my favourite place on Earth 😂 Looking forward to this build guys good luck!

Just had a thought , look for second hand shop you might be able to some snowmobile or ski suits .Something like this would be a game changer in the battle against the cold . On that older camper please put a carbon monoxide/ gas detector in there and if it has a gas fridge don’t use it . Find a second hand electric fridge to put in there . The gas ones have a bad habit of catching fire .

That wide fuel filler should allow you to rest the neck of the jerry-can on the filler - let it take the weight. Similar to older Landrovers. Best luck with the new project and future travels. Chris.

You look super happy the journey begins

The challenges are immense but you guys are no ordinary people! love you both! ❤

cleanest workshop i've ever seen

Great! There's also a big TGB community here in Germany!

Please get earprotection for little one as the space echo and noise is loud for him even when he’s playing upstairs. Love the new build and welcome in Europe

You very lucky mate... Iam from Malaysia. Our army using it circa 1970-1990. After their service are terminate, not many can being seen on the road now days.. Most of them being scrap and the axle were the most valuable item to 4x4 extreme enthusiasm.

Awesome to see your progressing folks.. onwards and upwards. Things will fall into place after the initial learning process, no doubt you both have the skills. Really keen to follow along with your progress. 👍

Awesome guys - what a set up and I can’t imagine what a beast it will be with a more modern (I expect??) driveline swap. Not sure if it’s an old wives tail but I’ve always been told to keep batteries off/isolated from concrete floors for longevity (a bit of pallet will do).

Hello Chris and Ange! So excited for you! Can't wait for the build, you have a big job ahead. Glad you could purchase the Rv as your temporary home and little Oakley seemed to enjoy the play box! Stay safe and warm ❤❤❤

Good to see you guys getting going with the new project. Looks like a good vehicle. One point o note, Chris please get yourself a decent pir of assembly gloves to wear when working - help save your hands. Granberg is a Scandanavian brand with a wide range of suitable gloves.

Just Sick, Wow! I love it, can't wait to see it in action 🤙

Have to say this looks totally daunting! Can't wait to see the outcome and follow the journey. Love the positive can do energy and if two people can pull this off, then Chris and Ange you guys are it! Good luck and positive vibes from Aus.

Bjorn, such a blessing.

I am frothing to see this build! Loved watching Bowser's build! Can't wait

This build should absolutely increase your subscribers.So interesting.Lookin forward to it.

Looking forward to the build. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the Brit part box. You already found out the quality issue. Oh well. Its a huge commitment your making for this build and travel in the future. This will surely grow your channel. Good luck.

This Bjorn guy seems like an awesome fella. Super excited to follow along on this new build. Love how passionate you both are taking on these endeavours and doing it your own way.

I love how adventurous you guys are! Awesome video and so excited to watch the rest of the build

So exciting! I am also picking up my C303 in a week or so! I am keeping it pretty much stock and will be trying to use the factory Streachers to sleep on. Not living in mine but will do fun trips. Cheers!

Welcome to Europe! Looks like a lot of work and a lot of learning. I hope we will see a bit more of the surroundings in the next videos. Cheers

Really enjoyed this video. Exciting times. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Chris’s smile and enthusiasm is wonderful. Ange will be very busy too. Best of luck.

great job guys, thats a big project and you are doing an amazing job

Wow massive job, cannot wait to see the end result. Goodluck guys.

With you having a Mog I’m guessing a Mercedes OM variant with a mech injector pump for the engine swap?

Good to see u back. Looking forward to another build but in another country. Can't believe how big your son is already growing fast❤

TachAuch Zusammen, Great Stuff,and THX for your Time for Updating. YouLL make your Job. Regards Silke❤Jo

Massive job getting the truck sorted .. if its anything like the mog will be brilliant .. look forward to seeing its progression and your future adventures ...

Good to see you made it safely,summer should be on it's way by now,the coldest i have been was in Magdeberg,East Germany,a couple of months before Winter,it was bitterly cold.

It's really good to see you back. The build looks like it's going to be epic!

Love the truck! Make sure you check the uhf frequency restrictions in Europe because the rules are different over there

Dang that’s be so cool , that’s one thing me and my 10 yr old talks about is to just go exploring full time bc he’s home schooled . It would definitely be the greatest experience to see awesome things with the ones you live only a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly timeline. Keep up the great work , this is my first video of watching y’all so I subscribed to enjoy the journey y’all have ahead.

welcome to sweden,,the iconic military volvo is a great machine but they use a LOT of gas,like 6l/10km so you should consider a engineswap to a diesel ,Mercedes 300 engine whas popular to put in them back in the days but today a modern turbo diesel is a better choise,

Great to see this project lifting off. Best of luck from Melbourne.

I got to say: pretty darn impressed Chris. I had to pull a hub on mine, because the seal at the rear gave up and started leaking. Now I had a workshop manual, be it in Russian, which was a great help. Without it, it would have been pretty challenging. I remember being so scared to miss align anything and forget the exact position to refit. Ended up marking anything 🙄 I did have to lock the diff lock before I pulled the axle out of the planetaire gear the manual told me. Pretty much a deja vu for the rest: either banging your head against the wall or en route to the shop to buy a tool you don’t have 😂👍👍👍👍👍

Congratulations guys! Looking forward to the many new adventures to comes! ✌️❤️🤙

You guys have guts. A LOT! I am looking forward to this.

Do odważnych świat należy . Dużo szczęścia z tym 6x6 ✌️👍

Nice workshop! The Cummins 2.8 diesel seems to be a popular swap for these vehicles. The temperature is probably not helping you when it comes to removing those seals. Have you tried heating the brake housing a bit so that it expands and releases the seals? All the best for the build!

Well Done.

Good luck with this. Be safe and keep the vids coming !!!!!

Fantastic to see you guys back, looking forward to the build and your travels in Europe. Hope your Birthday was good Angie. The cold must be driving you both crazy

Hey, just got this video recommended while making dinner! TGB13 is really cool, congrats! My first truck was a TGB30. And now I’ve just converted a VW T4 from 4x4 to 6x4, but it’s not inspected/approved just yet. Only bought it in January. If I’m done before you are, I’ll drive down to Malmö and say hello with it 😎

Definitely a mission ahead guys wow. Stay strong yous will get it done👍🏽👍🏽

excellent engin adopté par de nombreuses armées , donc logiquement un bon choix !!! de belles aventures à venir !!... j'attends les vidéos avec impatience !! je vous suis déjà depuis un bon moment !! que du plaisir !!

This looks like fun! Your relationship and your rig remind me of KZfaqrs 'CandE Adventures'!

To remove the bearing tracks in the hub, use a large chisel and a large hammer and they will come out in a minute, or less. Good luck with the build.

Super projet !! Il est magnifique et j’ai hâte de voir la suite. Pour le moteur je pense au 6 cylindres 2,5 litres diesel avec turbo. Bon courage à vous 3 À très vite Guilhem

Awesome, I have a C303, the family loves it ❤️

this is pretty cool

Sicuramente una grande sfida, superiore di molto a quella, già grande, del Mog. Buon proseguimento allora, noi siamo con voi!

So exciting guys!!!

Great to see you guys immersing yourselves into another project, but gee you really like to challenge yourself 😊❤. Loved your videos when you were in Auss, now looking forward to your journey on the other side of the planet . Take care keep safe and enjoy …

Congratulaciones......(desde ARGENTINA) Sud America....🥰😍🤩😘

Just a quick one mate. Keep the battery for the heater off the concrete as it will drain the power from it. Just put it on timber etc

Welcome to Sweden! Really fun project. I'm jealous. 😁

Hi guys don't make brake lines from copper ,copper work hardens and can crack ,not legal in Australia i believe. Warm the wheel slave cylinder then the steel brake fitting should screw out. I hope you can achieve this over haul it is very ambitious with the amount gear you have and experience you have on this type of vehicle. Good luck guys

Welcome to Europe. I have reached that age when I have invested in a rattle gun for christmas before I did my Defender head gasket ( not for the torque tightening ) more for the undoing and doing to a point. Looking good. Screwfix, Mmachine Mart and tool station good for tools in UK not sure if in Europe. Vevor also seem to be up and coming have had some bits off them . Expawers may be worth contacting as they are in process of converting a van but in Spain, would think you will have seen them on you tube. All the best, should start warming up from now on ( just thought another suggestion Eva Zu Beck vids currently Sweden and Arctic circle). No doubt you will have a lot of other suggestions made. You have probably already found Lidl / Aldi etc. People laugh at some of my parkside tool purchases but if you only want to do it once they are usually reasonably priced tools and I have generally found them better than single use and live in my tool kit. Heavier more often used stuff I have gone to Machine mart where spares can be purchased ( for example with welders and pressure washers ).My first landy was a 2a diesel short wheel base. when you picked that cylinder up I thought that looks familiar. still have a leafy trialler but havent used it for four years. was going to sort it last year but life got in the way try again this year. Cant complain had a good 20 plus years of competing at trials with it to date. If somebody wants something to do while the wheels off , whizzy wheel wire brush and brush / aerosol paint the wheels while waiting to go back on. God I am full of good ideas must gget back on with my own motors. Hardest part getting off the settee (sofa) Ha ha all the best. Last add on the camper might relate to Talbot (for British market at time, may be of use). At least there isnt to many electronics about just lighting and charging if Lucas somebody else can relay those tales.

This is going to be a bloody great project 👍👍👍👍. And little lady, Be careful carrying around heavy stuff like batteries 💪 I’ll be keeping an eye on this project 👀. Thanks for sharing guys. And do let the little bloke get he’s hands dirty he needs learn 🤗

Interesting project! Will follow this 🙂

welcome to Sweden hope to see you this summer

Wish you good luck with this project, please 🙏 keep safe and warm this is cold place not Australia😀🤞

My guess is: Om606 with the corresponding Mercedes Benz Gearbox.

Nice. I so want one of Those things. The 4x4 or the 6x6. :) live confidently and peacefully

Well done and bon courage! Cheers

So cool!!

Welcome back can't wait.

well up for this build, I'm excited for you! :D

WOW unreal guys just watching this is blowing me away and its just the first video thew !!!!

Looks cold ! why not make a plastic tarp shelter/room with in the workshop? Great video ..

Chris try putting cardboard sheets down where your working, easy to kneel on and insulate the cold floor from you. Great to see you both on the air again.

Gear hubs: look in the oil if there is any signs of metal in them. With that amount of rubbing it should be a lot of metal visible. No metal = older damage. If a wheelbearing was bad many years ago that could have happened then, but it should not be an issue now.

Wish you guys, the best of luck 🤞🏽

Not "in the Volvo community" but am in the Merc community and I'm suggesting the OM606 as one of the most swapped engines :) Think that would suit too - unlike say a Cummins swap, which would be awesome but overkill. I've a OM364LA in my Merc 814, love a Merc engine for reliability.

Excited to see your new project. Good luck with it. Priorities and focus. You got this. p.s your priority's the fam. :)

What a cool machine , thanks for sharing

FYI.. put a chunk of plywood between your new battery and the concrete floor. the floor sucks the voltage from the battery and you will kill it.

Haha I’ve just found your channel and paddocks is in my home town, looking forward to watching all this process, personally I’d have just rebuilt the brakes to get it through the inspection process then stripped the vehicle to clean and replace everything? Good luck

Thanks

Excited about the new build. Could you use your new ryobi impact on your gear puller?!

Use Google Translate with a camera and you'll get live translations of anything you point the camera on your phone against. You can download languages in advance for any country you plan to visit into your phone.

Thanks for a great video, just a fact correction, you compared Perth over 2 million population with Malmö city population on around 340000 but Perth is Greater area like metropolitan and Malmö is much bigger than if you use those numbers with 770000 people, still almost 1/3 of third 🙂

Good luck, and thanks for the video. {fletch} from the UK

BEAST!!!!

There is a simple fix you can do to the engine to make it run on todays unleaded fuel without needing the additive that might be worth doing if you're going to do some engine work, if not I would wait until you need to do some engine work to do it. I did it to my Humvee ambulance turned overlander camper.

Interesting for a Swede that done millitary service in the 80s so i subscribed.
