Woo, yeah!

Baxter:
I know it's not pretty, I was more concerned with getting it legal before I spent loads of time and money on the body.
I have a hood and doors for it, but the hood is very tight, seems like it has shrunk, and the doors have been camoflaged, the drivers door zip is split and wont repair, ideal I want 4 olive doors and a olive hood, the hood bag is also missing for the bonnet, I'll sort these in time.
I also put some Polo 3 front seats in, they came from a right hand drive Polo, so the height adjustment is on the correct side!
Sorry about the location of the pictures, thats my new unit next door, not finished yet, it's just a dumping ground for all the things I don't want in my workshop, and the funny yellow colour comes from the old sodium lighing in there. The building was a dye house used for dying cloth from the mid 1800's

Snoop:
I like the black front of your Iltis.
It makes it look bad or angry, really cool.

Did you know the meaning of "FELDJÄGER" ?
It means "Military Police".

The roll-over-protection-bar says, that this Iltis used to be a Ambulance-car.
The body is model 1981, I guess.

chrislb:
Oh,
what about the collision of the rear fog light and the tow bar?
From the photographs I get the impression that it will be impossible to put anything on the towbar.
I've got a similar problem since I want to install a 'Rückfahrscheinwerfer'(what's the correct english term for the white rear lamp? Reversing light?) next to my rear fog lamp.

Baxter:
@Chrislb.
Fog lamp - towbar, no problem, I have no intention in fitting a towbar!
That one was easy!
yes, they are called "reversing lights" in English, great thing about the fog lamp, I can use that to reverse, it's really bright!

@snoop.
Yeah, I know what Feldjaeger is, what do you think the first thing I googled when I saw it listed on e-bay? :)
yes, it's a '81, left factory as a standard 183 311 nothing special.
I spoke with Uwe, he says it's early history is unknown but it turns up in the 90's in the Feldjaegerbatallion.
At some point it has come to the UK to the castle martin tank training range where the Germans were stationed, when they left in 1996 it was left behind.
Story goes that there were 12 left here, 10 good ones and 2 scrap. One man bought them all and sold them on, 2 were used for parts for the others.
That is what the "CM" means after the tactical marking, CM = Castle martin.

The bonnet has a big red cross under the paint, and the rear panel, and rear 1/4 panels also have red crosses painted over.
there is a sticker (decorfolien?) on the dash board that makes referance to a medic vehicle.
I cannot see an body modifications for carrying a stretcher though?

Tell me, how can you tell it was a medic vehicle from the roll over bar?

I presume the Iltis had a rotating light fitted as it has 2 holes in the lower left hand wheel arch and a hole in the wiring grommet where the wiring must have travelled.
I also had a extra hole near the light switch, and I had a loose wire dangling under the dashboard that went to the horn relay, I presume it was wired to a switch? unsure, the wire was white with green trace.

Second gear crunches a little :( I have already put fresh oil in the gearbox :(

I also need to identify the prop shaft joints and boots as there is lots of noise from the rear one, or I may just send it to my new best friends at GKN as they can't seem to do enough for me at the moment!

Baxter:
Ahah!
Sorry, I had to look at ETKA, I see there is a different rollover bar for first aid vehciles!
As I understand it, the rear bars are round on normal versions but flat on first aid vehicles?
There is nothing listed on the M codes, I wonder if it was converted at some point in it's life?
Hmm.
Y-230 137 was it's original number.
