So, i bought this shiny red 90 truck cab of of fleabay back in march, nice boost alloys, 3" lift( no offset trailing arms 
) and a shady 200tdi conversion. The geezer seemed a bit miffed that my drunken mobile fleabaying on a saturday night only hauled in £1600, but anyhoo he agreed and his mate low loaded down south from yorks for £300, sold as advertised. Didn't know what i was getting, so lucky dip. The result: wells then, my finger went through the bulkhead in multiple places, the outriggers came apart like a cadburys flake and the electrics had been done by a colour blind monkey, changing gear is like stirring a big pot of stew, but the engine is strong, albeit a bit chesty at full revs. All in all i thought, a nice summer project. So i bought a engine and gearbox of my mate from a '93 disco, still waiting for summer to arrive. long story short, tried to move the gear box by myself and something pinged in my back. So bigred is out back collecting more ferrous oxide with a spare 200tdi in the back.
Can't wait for next summer
