Well a years resto has turned ino 2.5 years but at last the truck is ready for the road...it's off to the body shop under its own " steam" tomorow evening to have the load floor painted and other bits and bobs, then a gearbox swap to do and it's about sorted for Busfest..

Wish me luck, never driven it further than on and off trailers so kinda exciting!

Here it is..

good luck
lovely looking thing it is too!

Looking good, when can I take delivery?

Nice, should be ready for the devon meet then. You could bring it laning and rub a bit of that nasty newness off!

Top drawer , 21/2 years you say? Quicker than me . Loving a sika

Lookin good!

Thanks for all your comments so far, not sure Devon is possible mores the pity..

Here's a link to the thread on the yard if anyone's missed it and is intrested in seeing the resto.

I will give it some thought...sorry I didn't return you chair at S/P by the way...woke up feeling like a train hit me and first thing I thought was " Jason's chair...what if its gone!" So staggered outside and saw it there still by the fire with your one so so went back to sleep..felt bad about it ever since!

looks fantastic... I will defo come and have a look at it at Busfest !

It made it to the body shop! A few niggles to sort like a strange ticking noise, a noisy turbo, and suspect wheel bearings but plenty of power and no codes popping up yet!

Rubbish gear selection as well...need to sort that out ASAP.

Cool, ticking noise on mine was a broken brake pad

All new in that department...could be a cv joint maybe...hard to tell but seemed be only on overrun...really quick light ticking noise...wheel bearings are the originals and un tested so could be duff...be reet!

Heh heh...not even road legal yet but still mangled to get a show in...cum vag at crooklands today on way home from bodyshop on trade plates..

Met up with a fellow "nought" as well...there was another syncro hiding in a corner as well...rusty and running recips..was it you?
