Lady Ferguson Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I've just made up the decals for this lorry for a customer (the conversion was done by a guy in E.Sussex). Thought it might be of interest: [img width=454 height=340]http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p67/Supermassiveblackhole2/August/270810014-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Looks very smart Mandy, is the back axle fixed in the raised position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Looks like it worked out great , what with the paint issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 farmer Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 nice work there mandy but you will have to have words wid the driver as his load is one sided * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Thanks guys. Not sure about the conversion to be honest - the wheels aren't quite right, but overall it looks okay \ Had to use self-adhesive decals, Mark (rather than transfers) because I couldn't risk the paint lifting, but I think they turned out okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 better the safe way , they do look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 often wonder why britains dont do something like this, even if it is with the old cab on it, it would fit in wel lwith any collection now, does look good mandy i must say, so much so i may bin my tipper plan and make it a feed wagon now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 I agree, Sean - I do like the idea of a feed wagon, although I think we need an updated cab now... I shouldn't think too many firms still use these older models now \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilw Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 could be easily made in to a grain lorry....I agree though, it does look good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 nice truck but it also needs a pipe rack & i should know ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 of course if you want quality feeds i think mole valley farmers would have been the better stickers to make mandy , although i may be a bit biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't need to spend hours cutting around that blinkin' oval decal, either did Il ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It's a nice piece of work, both the conversion and the decals. It also shows what could have been once upon a time. A new lorry from Britains would be great. Even a facelift EuroCargo with tautliner body would be a nice start.Well done, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I have often said Britains should make a new lorry, as stated even a freshend up 7.5 tonner, we could even have a special with the FTF logo on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
