Fat Lady singing

Well how have I got on then?

I don't know where to begin,
I got the bed done


I got the engine done and running.

I got the running board strips done.

I got my new seat done ;o)

All right.. lets get serious, Mick Shepherd made me a new seat and trimmed my door handles and sun visors in gold flake..(yet to fit) The seat is fuking amazing that is the only way to describe it... absolutely amazing and suits the theme of the truck perfect. He is a superb trimmer and craftsman for sure. Mick Shepherd Premier Auto Trim, Wigan...

I got on with the LPG fitting and with my mate Pudzz help got it done in no time flat, I am just waiting for the Air pan to come back from Degs at http://www.engravingart.co.uk/home.It will be an impressive air pan thats for sure....

The Truck is now all wired and working so I booked the MOT.

Just have to add, the tank in this ohoto is at the wrong angle, photos to follow. But the tank need to be swung round 180 degrees and leaning over more so the pickup pipe in in the liquid lpg...


I got the tank sprayed matt silver to look as much like Ally as I could, I originally was doing a quick low budget rebuild so didn't care what the tank looked like or was fitted. Now it has changed slightly ;o) I had to make the tank fit in with the look of the Truck.

I fitted this safety cut out switch to the fuel pump, but I forgot it was not waterproof, so I have to move it to inside the cab *bugger*

So I was set for an early start to get the sucker Mot'd... I wont say it went without a hitch because it didn't, but after lots of bullshitting and flanneling... it passed ;o) So I am on the road and cant wait to drive it to Billing for its first Rod Run.. Yeeha

So just got to fit the door rubbers and wire up a stereo and fit the interior panels. So close... but still plenty to do. But that Fat lady is definitely singing Yeeha!!

Here is a Video of me and the truck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIy7VIzaGTA
