Well… the firetruck is… (drum roll)… DONE! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
It's been a crazy but fun project so far. There'll be always something to do, but it was time for our first trip. I would like to thank my dad very very much for his expertise and his help with this project because without him it wouldn't look like this at all :) Besides my great dad i also want to thank my girlfriend for the paint job (sorry for the blisters on your knees :().

In the meantime we're back from our first road trip with BARTH (this is his new name after the trip because he's a real personality and besides the stickers on the side say the same). He did a fantastic job… no problems what so ever.

Here are the final pics for this topic:
Some detail shots…

And of course his award...

Thank you all for following this topic!

Hi Jochem, Just spotted this post from a while back, would love to see the pictures, for some reason they don't seem to work. I think the pictures may be just the inspiration I need to get stuck into my conversion and I'm sure I'm not alone! :D
