Well at last i have been able to upload some pics (bloody mobile internet). just hope it works
I have been working on my curtiamsider got new tyres all round, had to do some fiber glass work under the bonnet as it wasnt worth welding, i have also fitted new spot lights in the front bumper, i had to drill thru the bumper as the brackets had come away i couldnt see any other way to fit them back on.
So got to do a little work under the cab on the floor and give it a lick of paint just to tidy it up, then i need to replace some of the body bolts as the front two near the diesel tank have come loose, and fit the other fuel tank i have so i am running two.
I will post more pic`s as i am doing the work.

Not done much work to this except painted under the cab after giving it a good rub down and tidy up, going to get all the seat and bunk covers off and washed, my wife has yet to make up her mind if she wants this to be converted into a horsebox, or i am going to fit it out from a caravan and turn the last 5ft into a garage work area and go touring car racing which looks good fun.

Limited in the sense I've never seen on like it, it has a purpose built fiberglass luton and goes down both sides of the cab, must stick a pic up. Shes just a very long 813 standard cab not like the ones on yours.

Well we went down to St Austell last weekend to collect the truck, went and checked it over, then aranged to pick it up Sunday morning, stayed in a B & B from hell, all went well got it back used a 120 litres of diesel so did about 16mpg, would have done better if it had the right back axle as it was reving at 2500 doing 55mph, were as my others are doing 1600rpm doing the same speed, so if anybody has a high speed rear axle going spare let me know, as for any pictures i am going across this weekend to do sum bits as i need to cut the chassie were it has been bent to fit a bevertale body, and re weld it straight, i am not sure what body i am fitting now, i will be taking it to the truckfest up at driffield 21st of august if anybody is thinking of going.
