Yeah beaver seems the way to go, regretting cutting down his chassis now :(
Still, Dave is getting the attention at the mo :) I fitted some sounds today and gave him a mop and polish

Image

Fitted plate above bumper so it dont get broken.

It got too cold and dark for more polishing so I went round fixing all the lights :)

All he needs now is a new diff (Whine city :( ) and a brake master cyl, and paint the wheels.
Thinking of blue and white rims to match the truck, what do yer all reckon?

Didnt get home till half eight so, no :(

Muttley is in the workshop now, not sure to repair him as a spec or build a beaver and put the spec on Jimmy :?

build him in to a beaver , muttley used to be a beaver when he was owned by a chap i know in yarmouth untill the prop snaped and he look the back off and put it on a ldv :shock:


Yeah, when I got him he had no prop, diff flange, fuel tank etc etc :lol: Do you have/ can get any pics of his previous incarnation? Cheers.

Its sort of a bargain, it was £500. However as you have seen the front end werent too healthy and the diff is fecked :( That said the rest of the old thing is really good for a 20 year old motor :D

Not much spare time today, managed to fit out the rear cab though :)

Raised edge on the unit keeps stuff from moving about :D Only the one seat as I rarely have more than three up :wink:

What makes you think she knows about the hairdryer :wink: I fitted some extra beacons up front as you cant see the rear ones when you are towing. Also fitted some extra forward lighting up there :)

Getting dark again, only 3.30pm :( Come on the summer :)
