Found myself a 406
« on: February 13, 2017, 07:05:43 pm »
 Thought I should join now as I have found myself a 406, I don't have it home yet & it will be a long term restoration project.

Thanks for the welcome. I will try to get some pictures up as soon as I get it home. I am hoping to sort out transport for it today.

Welcome to the club Steve.

Congratulations on your 406. How much of a restoration are you talking about?

I will have a better idea when I get it home but it has been robbed for parts as well as the usual rust in the cab & engine hasn't run for a good few years.
