MJB1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 well finally decided to build my 3070, with a good look at TM810's version from a few years back i set to it started with a BRITAINS 6140, TIMS 4260 & a metal version ROS 3070 now the work starts ! all broken down into parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 first off, time to get the wheels to fit the britains chassis by hand drilling to accomadate the fixings unfortunatly due to the rear axle on the chassis & the way the tims wheels are moulded they dont fit so then ensues a frantic phone call to sean telling him it's all his fault & he owes me a britains 6140 a tims 4260 & a metal ros 3070 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 after calming down & a chat with sean , a few options are banded about & the front wheels from an old 362 are found to do the job lots of dremmeling & sanding later the problem is sorted of a fashion wheels fitted , now ready for the bodywork to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 just like it grew there with a bit of filing to the floorpan allowing movement of the lift lever it sits just right building up the cab floor , the hole allows the original seat to be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Did a good job with the paint sonnyjim and the work you needed to do on the floorpan you have done discreetly too. Like that. Not sure about the front wheels/tyres though. They look a bit squat \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
