Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've poseted so I thought I'd up date you as to where we are with our project. We've moved on to work on the cab and wheel guards, filling and panel beating as we go. We got our hands onto a canadian cab 13 with a decent roof, engine cover and grill, so we're slowly getting everything we need. From our "collection" we've managed to make up a half decent intrument cluster (probably doesn't work but it looks good!), most data plates for the engine cover, and some good headlight buckets/rings (from a mixture of brass, steel and nickle plated rings/covers)
Passenger door works great and looks ok....apart from the dirty big bash, but as we all know, its those things that give these girls "character"
We've also made up new springs for the back of the seats, and bought some new pads for the pedals.
We're almost ready to but the roof/guards on, just needs another light sand and paint, then it'l be on to fixing the windscreen (gave up on getting the glass out of one, it really is stuck fast), and getting some tyres.
You might notice the patch of dead ground under the gearbox, it, the transfer case and both diffs are slowly leaking, but the compressor spits oil, we'll just leave it be for now. The biggest problem is the dog seems to love eating/sleeping/living in the oiled grass
