Thought I would load up some pics of my first build project. Brian at Tonks is carrying out the work for me - started out as a simple chassis swap and now something a little bit more. Anyway, hopefully something of interest and would be great to get your comments.
First pic is my trusty 'rusty' 2000 TD5 ...

Yeah, chassis paint job a bit of an indulgence considering its hidden away, but at least I know it's there
 The white is actually a very light ral colour grey. |

Really like the truck
Being an anorak myself, really like the chassis work too
Always gives me a real sense of satisfaction knowing the parts no one sees are spot on. I should get out more  |
