1972farming Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Just messing around with a siku te20 again and thought it might make a ford 2000.Just close one and squint with the other and it looks OK ! Also thinking that the chassis could make a bmc mini or leyland 154. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tam is right,its a corgi bonnet. I will finish it off and see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yep finish it off ,, it is sometimes difficult to judge if mix & match jobs are suitable until it is finished , it may need a Britains front grille fitted to give extra depth at front though ;) That is right they do not have the front tombstone like the 5000 either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 The only problem I am having is with the width of the bonnet and grill. Its a bit narrow really but it looks OK i think. Because its a bit on the small side it doesn't come down low enough at the front which is why I have fitted a piece from the corgi at the bottom of the grille. I will try a britains grille ,I may be able to cut it down on width ? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 that looks ok mate, if the bonnets to samll, cut her apart and widern her a touch, with filler ect, same with grill, as they could easily be cast for more if you wanted to do them mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
