404 has landed
« on: February 19, 2015, 09:42:36 pm »
I got my new 404 delivered! Time to tinker is in short supply at the minute. No doubt I'll be in need of much help and advice along the way.
The cab looks to be the worst part. It's a 308 (?) cab spliced onto the old 404 one. A lot of rust.
I plan initially to free up the brakes and get driving as a start then tackle the cab.
Just how I'm not yet sure. I saw Spannermike you just took off an old soft top. Is it something you'd sell on?
I haven't taken good pics yet but hopefully these ones attach ok.
Cheers
james

That cab is truly something else! :o Looks like a fairly major task to convert back?
Looks like a good base to start with though, certainly a project :P

Cheers, Brian ;D

certainly interesting cab conversion on that one  :)

may be easier to keep a look out for a second hand cab and swap it over, by the time you have tried to convert it back and fixed all the rot it will be quicker to just swap it, (thats what i would do)

Yup a cab in good nick maks sense alright.
I'll get the wheels rolling first. No doubt it has lots of other things that need time spent on it.
The existing cab must have looked shocking even when first done.
