Well the strip down of the 12v ex para truck is progressing well and now back to the bare chassis. A little tin worm to deal with in the heater box and the heater blower housing but nothing that cannot be sorted .Rear axle has been stripped and sorted and is ready to go back under the chassis .New stainless fuel tank has arrived along with a long lists of other parts such as as fuel pump and carrier,fuel float sender .full brake and clutch pipe and hose set ,polybushes for front and rear axles and springs plus replacement bushes for shock absorbers and anti roll bar links .The wallet is now lighter by £1429 ! The plan is to have it back to a rolling chassis in the next couple of weeks then fit the new fuel tank and refit the winch before turning my attension to the engine and gearbox .The biggest hold up this time of year is the paintinting with only my heated garage at home suitable ! I have almost sorted every part to finish the truck so hopefully a little less strain on the pocket !
