hi, you are a total inspiration, i cant wait to see the finish of the truck, its amazing to see so much work going in to a motor that im sure will be a show winner. you dont get to see what goes in to a true restoration project.

LOADS OF RESPECT GOES TO YOU WELL DONE SO FAR

Another year has gone by and still no progress on my recovery truck :cry: ..

BUT I'm now restoring a Transit 1990, it' kind of a quick-fix compared with the old transit..
I've fixed the rust on the frame and replaced all of the breakparts, the truck hasn't been on the road since 2003 and was in poor condition. Will post pictures of it soon
I'm also gonna repaint it from white to matte black

Has one picture from before restoration..

The total length of the truck is 6350mm and the flatbed is 4000mm, quite a lot of room there :)
