This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered

)

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Its been a while Rob...2.8 shortys are the nuts mate...looks a good un that too, just needs a bit of tidying and tlc (and modding the ar5e off of it! :lol:

)

Yep bought a graphite grey 2.8lwb on an N reg, following a tip-off from davetherave...needs a few bits doing, but its a goodun, the heater works well and has got 1/2 a tank of diesel too! So a result...brings the total to 5x 2.8's now!

Yip needs a few days on my back with a wire brush and some power tools :shock:

Loads of rust!! But it will be sorted next week. The truck itself mechanically runs sweet as a nut... Oh and the heater works as well

Got any ideas for modding the nuts off it there Greg

Graphite Grey... Sounds sweet

The wrecker is Satin, just looks well shiny as just painted...much easier to clean than matt, and it doesnt feel like 1200 wet and dry :wink:

Paint job can be arranged, give me a shout
