gingergman Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 so youve got two cabs now mate, lucky lucky! it looks ok to me, dont look like it needs much, but does it? if it were mine id change the wheels, put standard ones on make it look old skool again!

Guest vinnyvangough Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 May change the wheels. Gonna need a new drivers door i reckon, and maybe a new wing. The underside is good, so its just a bit of a tidy up on the body. The roof is good and dont seem to be leaking so its not too bad all in all. What you all reckon its worth as is?

gingergman Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 looks as thou someone already started the body what with the diffrent colour panels, it looks fairly straight, fresh paint will do the world of good! hard to say mate, does she have any tax and test? how much did you pay for her?

Guest vinnyvangough Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yea someone tried putting laquer on her. I'll get it sorted when i can. She only got MOT til April and no tax. Loads of reciepts, all new hubs, brakes and handbrake cable, alternator, though i just had to buy a new belt. 133k and i paid £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
