Paul Palmer Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) i have corrected the uh NH T6.180 slanting roof,i wish i never started it,i broke both beacons off,the front windscreen wiper,the rear top link and the screen in the cab and 1 of the mirrors,but got there in the end,i took out the glazing and roof lining,then what was akward was removing the roof lining behind the grey roof lining,then when that was off i altered the roof by packing it off,its not perfect but it is a lot better,at least the roof is not tilting backwards now Edited September 6, 2020 by Paul Palmer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whincebros Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Good looking fleet paul. Out of interest, are the number plates from actual machines or just ones you have made up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 these are made up Neil,as i have never drove any of these,so the first letters,WA and WK are local for devon/cornwall registered tractors and the year just suits each tractor and the last 3 letters are family members initials,i if it was a model i would have drove then i would use the real number plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
