My 'New to me' R580

Had this truck since the new year, was a bit of a mess when i got it, had been neglected beyond believe, wheels n tanks hadnt been polished for 3 years, paintwork had hardly ever seen soapy water never mind polish. I’v put alot of hours into bringing it back upto a standard i’m happy with. Boss has noticed the difference in it as well, so he got me scania led markers for the sunvisor, twin taillights, and he’s taking my single eminox off and i’m getting twin eminox’s instead, happy days. So far i’v fitted the mudflaps on front and put sidelights in the visor lamps, fogs n spots in bumper and the headlights. Put the badges back on the grille and fitted stainless nut covers. Tell me what you think? honestly!!!
This is the condition i got it in, not pretty!!!


This is how it looks just now, its still not perfect but its certainly better than it was…




you’ve done yourself proud.
i bet you don’t say phrases like “that’s not my job”, or “i’m only paid from the neck down”. :wink:
