Udimore Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 What i have seen of yours, yours are not either ie the 7000 & loader had lots of extra detail, but there are lots of conversions out there very similar to each other, ie change front wheels/axle add a different exhaust/air intake and different type cab and bobs your uncle. I personally feel that detail is a lot of us weirdos look for in conversions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 But thats whats above isn't it to a certain degree?? Now if it had two drive shafts to the front axle, work lamps, mirrors etc I may start to play with myself under the desk.... but I doubt it.

I can go as far as you like with these big Countys .Lights,beacons,aerials,mirrors etc etc . These were built before I knew much about converting and I built them for next to nothing . nowadays the costs are higher to start with and people may not want to pay so much .

And stop that action below the desk ? Ol hang on while i've wrote this he has replied already so i wont change my wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
