justy 46 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nice job Paul . I love the 700 Series myself . Nothing would do me only to make 7700 convo myself awhile back & bought a 4wd 9700 convo from S Frater there after . Look forward to seeing yours when finished .

Paul Palmer Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) i have been busy with the fords,this tw has had its cab/floorpan raised by 2mm,as bluegreen found that the cab was to low,the top of the bonnet decal should be in line with the top of the lower windows,which now it is,he did it to his tw 35,i have painted the front wheels,with this one, im undecided what to do to it,i dont want all my tw's and 8830 on bigger rubber and with wheel weights,so this one might stay as she is,this one came in the post yesterday with the bonnet off,so some damage with the bonnet flying around the box,one light had to be glued back on,the exhaust was broke off and the aerial nearly snapped off,but all repaired,but one big chip on the bonnet ,so might be some weathering done to this to cover up the chip Edited December 31, 2016 by Paul Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
