Does anyone Knew HOW Dangerous ( Fuel - tank, etc ), or not, is to Worm the cabin with this German gadget.
Any suggestion, how to worm the place, example with some other extra electric machine.
The two indents from the VW is still working, but i m thinking smthing more clean, about the hot air, probably with the smells-faints of the exhaust pipes in front the machine

It would be nice if you stop and shut down the engine. That is the only time I wuold want one. But from what I have read, those gasoline heaters were more trouble than they were worth in terms of safety as well as reliabilty. There was a pic of an ST with an LP heater with a fan set in the rear corner of the cab. The LP bottle was out side on the racks.. Just need to cut a hole in the floor and put in a hinged door. A second battery for the heater and you could ice fish, from the cab....After you back over your hole.:brows:

Regards, Kirk

i like the sound proofing you did don't forget under the hood as a large amount of noise escaping from under the hood wil be transmitted through the glass in the wind shield i had a hard time swalling it till i sound proofed the hood under my cummins powered pickup

Hey dds thanks for your, very interesting informations.
:clap:I appreciate your opinion, and always the opinion of others has gravity, and is reckoned when needed to solve a problem.

The large amount of noise escaping from under the hood through the glass is a problem.:unsure:

Whats your opinion about the insulation - deadening polyethylene foam for the cover the engine bonnet.
Does anyone has posted the cover of the engine bonnet with polyethylene deadening foam. Are there any photos.

in my experiance the best soundproofing will have led in it this gives you a weight pennalty so the next best thing would have to be some kind of acustic foam i have some stuff i can't seem to get any glue to stick to i want to use on my interior it has seemed to work good on my dodge ctd its about 1 inch thick so it sounds like what you have should work fine for what you are doing

Τhe progress of the work is steady, working out in the engine, and when the work permit repairs and maintains the interior of the cabin. The black color chassis is mixed with primer paint for rust protection.

The black metal parts side of Cabin think to cover it with wood to prevent transfer the cold inside.

I want to improve the internal heat, because the metal surface of the cabinet should emit very cold masses and affect the overall temperature inside the cabin.One reason I do not enter the maintenance process in red cab is that, i am thinking to solve the problem of cooling and insulating the inside.

just finished work on the floor the next day, (the association of seating, tank, handbrake lever, and the coating of plastic floor coated, cables for lights) will begin to work through the cabin roof and side items.

The lowest temperature recorded across Europe yesterday, Monday, January 2 in the town of Florina, where the thermometer showed -18 degrees Celsius!
According to the news of ET3, this phenomenon is extremely rare, and after Florina followed KEM Port of European Russia and -17, in Ivalo, Finland with -14 and Elkinstantir Iceland to -10 degrees Celsius.
Typical is the picture of the river Sakouleva which has been frozen. Picture beautiful to the eye, but clearly shows the extreme weather conditions in Florina and extreme effects they have, especially in our pocket.
Today, the temperature dropped to -14 degrees up and is currently at -13.

Nikos, the snow trac is just sooo cute; I'd give much to be able to drive one. Awesome looking machine. The pictures that you posted iof Greece are beautiful too; they'd make awesome desktop pics during the winter. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Hey Lia
Florina is a typical industrial city of northern Greece.
Because of this isolation from the big cities, big mountains that surround it, have created a picture in which people have to combine business functions in a parallel relationship-management with the natural environment.
(lignite extraction - power plants).
Florina is known for three reasons
a) For low temperatures especially in winter.
b) For the wealth in natural resources - coal, lignite, and natural beauty of both architectural and natural landscape (6 lakes, rivers, wetlands Prespa, traditional villages with stone materials, earth and wood).
c) The designation of the City of Artists. It is the city with most artists, painters and sculptors graduate School of Fine Arts at European level in relation to the resident population. The beauty of the natural and architectural landscape has adversely affect, and has motivated a large proportion.

In my family we have 3 Painters, me, my father and my brother.

I am Professor of Fine courses at the University of Western Macedonia.
In fact, SnowTrac is a vehicle to begin exploring the winter landscape that are difficult to approach otherwise.

Aside from the rides with family and friends, I think that the ST4 is another tool in my work to begin to paint winter landscapes. I hope this year to be able to realize my desire, (ι want to discover and capture the color of winter) because I see that the winter has come early and I have not finished yet the restoration project (Track belting):sad:
Lia Next i send some pics from the places that i want to visit - paint.

After a short recess (Three days), in the New Year's Day, a change in winter temperatures were the best for the body ( all had frozen inside the workshop), I crossed the highway heading to Athens.
The snow and frost, I left behind - 23 C were replaced with temperatures were between 13 and 15 Celsius.
On Mount Olympus, the mountain of the gods.
On the hill of the Acropolis (I got strength, courage and inspiration):smile:



the next day to return to work (Belting tracks)
