This pic is a line up of the F89s bought by PIE International before they left the factory. Note they had alredy been registered in Sweeden so had to be re registered once in the UK.
Just thought id throw a spanner in the works while im on here, heres a pic of my old 3600 ATI , just coz i loved that truck !
Hubs and brakes blasted n painted, new linings,bearings,seals and chambers on front fitted.
attention to detail or extreme ?
Interior shot, rest of interior has been removed ready for work on cab to begin
Lower cab panels removed which arent too bad and are all original (ie steel) .Cab floor is better than first thought and so cab does not need to be removed from chassis.
Lower panels removed
If anyone can help i am looking for a rear of cab air intake stack for my F89, and door and grille badges, thanks Dave.
A couple of shots of the engine taken today, Rowland.
