Customising my smiley recovery truck!..the story so far!!

[AlanN]

Looks great now its all painted, Nicks had a run on the bumpers now, just cant get the parts at the right price now, to make it worth his while making more

Hi Alan, i thought Nick would be busy after this like you say its a shame the bumpers are so expensive, ill keep my eyes peeled for the parts!

This is from the other day, we blacked all the black trims including the mirrors 2k gloss black to match the cab


Got some more done today. Mirrors, RS and ford badges on. Cleaned all the rubbers with thinners then bought them all back to black with some autosmart tango, got them in. cleaned the windows a bit and fitted the blacked scuttle pannel
fitted bonnet vents which we gloss blacked too, lights into the headlight conversion,smoked clear indicators and side repeaters all in too.
door handles on...... very satisfying putting all these bits on and then standing back !!

looking the part at last

I need me some Euroliners!!

Hope to get inside the cab tommorrow and get the trims and seatbelts back on.

Absolutely stunning mate she looks amazing are you putting chrome covers on the wheels?

[DieselRox]

Thanks dave i didnt know you could chrome paint wheels, i will bear it in mind. I got all my panels from ebay but at that point i wasnt a member on here else i would have gone to see dieselhead.
Any how finally got the truck out of my garage into the sun for the first time and washed all the dust of today and leathered the cab down. i washed the chassis aswell with hot soapy water,this had got really dusty even though it had been covered up well while we painted the cab. Heres the pictures





Now to start the body..going to put it on a diet!!!! wheres my gas axe?
