Just a quick update – Been having a nice couple of exchanges with Brian on this lorry and he has been kind enough to donate the 10 pence coin I found under the bunk at the weekend towards the cost of restoration.
Sadly, she is looking pretty rough now as I cut the sleeper pod off to graft on to the now complete spare cab. The original really was totaled. Both the A and B pillars were AWOL and the roof was attached to fresh air. Everything is restorable but I am glad I bought the spare cab as although it too was bad, it was better than the original.
I am now going to try and fill in the blank years between 1984 and 2012.
Keep you posted.
Cheers
