i used to convert old skip gears, hiab's, roll on roll offs onto newer transit cab n chassi's as a hobby, there getting hard to come by now mate, better off buying one on an old smiley or freight rover and putting on mk 6 chassis cab yourself its easy to do and should work out cheaper

It is a smart van and you've done a great job 8) Chrome isn't my thing but each to there own :D Also again i'm not knocking your work btw but all that mech and the bin just looks heavy :? Do you get pulled much with them ?

i aint been pulled up yet, i know what you mean about the chrome i think the mirror caps look a bit tacky so gonna take them off, ive had a lightweight bin made so should weigh same as a normal tipper with it on, not that it bothers me much as the next owner can worry about it :D

So it's lighter than it looks then 8) Thats good all that gear and still the same weight as a tipper, ideal for the London rubbish game, drop the bin (can't ticket that) and come back when it's full 8)

anyone know who does airbrushing for a fair price, had my bonnet done but had to take it off for him to do it, looking for someone where i can drop my transit off and have the wings and doors done with a mural/picture/logo or something, i don't mind travelling for a good job/price :)

It's a stunning truck, but I doubt if you could put much more than 500 kg in the skip, without being well over weight! Have you had it weighed?

Thats what I was wondering, how much does it weigh with a 'level' load of soil? Never seen a small RORO before, it does look the mutts nuts though :)

I saw the truck the other week, it looks mega !
Theres a bloke in walsall who does air brushing just off Bloxwich rd on spratts bridge, He's quite good and reasonable with prices.
