My New Toy

[chrisr103]

A few months ago I decided I was going to buy a Transit flat bed Recovery truck, My plans were to buy cars from Auctions to trade on, Also buy the odd scrap car & weigh them in,

I decided that if after a couple of months I could make it work then I would hand my notice in at work & do it full time.

Anyway this is what I bought



Its a P reg non turbo model, Only covered 81000 genuine miles, Mint with no rot at all.

Had it since Feb this year, Since I had it the truck has earnt me back what I paid for it (Only using it part time) So I handed my notice in & left work on the 29th April.

I decided I needed a newer truck so sold the transit yesterday & went & picked this one up

Yeah there is money to be made doing it, For A local collection & drop off most places charge about £40.

There is a few lille things I need to do to it mainly give the sides of the body a coat of red paint & then some black Hammerite on the bed, Get some reflective stickers down the side of the body & then have my number put on the side of it

I take it the sun is shining on the "s", or has some scallywag removed it?

I could imagine a certain someone would love that truck.  Right Colour, just needs some yellow tint on them lights.
