I said I’d post some photos of it once it was restored and below are some before and after photos.
Lovely restoration there Euroscot…nice shot next to that tidy 143…they compliment each other
very nice… 
5th pic down… wot is that piece of red metal around the bit of sheet metal for …kinda above the fuel tank… 
If you drive a MAN you wouldnt now they dont run long enough to hook up a trailer lol
What a fantastic job! It never ceases to amaze me what skilled craftsmen can do to turn something ready for the scrapheap into something that looks like its just rolled off the line in Goteborg or maybe in this case Irvine. Hats off to you fellas, any chance of some interior shots?

Its the A-frame for the suzies and the coupling lights, they didn’t have time to fit them before truckfest, there all fitted now though so I’ll get another shot of the back.

Thanks, its my friends unit, i would have got stuck in but just had a back opp so just had to watch as they restored it. I’ll get interior photos the next time i’m at the yard, the interior was some mess when they got it and thats also back to like new condition.
typical, you take your truck to a show and someone pinches the rear lights and number plate
