So close, you can taste it....
« on: 22 May 2008, 07:28 »
My cab is nearly done.

I finished the brakes, all new pads, shoes and drums, painted both brake calipers.
New seats, new roof, new wheels.

Power roof is still a dead loss as the pistons leak like a son of a b!tch, so I removed it all until such time that I can source some new pistons.

Took it for an MOT yesterday and it failed on the brake pipes and the wipers being worn out.
That's all.
Pretty good for a car that's been sat in a barn for 5 years.

Drives lovely too.....  :grin: :grin: :grin:
