Have an old Britains FORD 8830 in bad shape recovered from a box of junk in the attic, Only thing thats good on it is  its 3 wheels ,no 4'th & its casting . Bonnet,cab etc broken. But not for long!  Time to freshen her up. :) :) New parts on the way from TOWSE TRADING. It will have a new lease of life as a TW-25

Still got the mf 6290 that needs donor uh claas front wheels to finish it and then this mf 7400.

so far I've added driver,grab handles inside the doors,blocked in the space behind the seat and glazed it,added oval shaped lights as they were wrong being square and sprayed the plastics 50th red.I need to order some parts now to finish it off.

Putting one of Mandy's drivers into my Britains International 3588. Quite a good fit, but only superglue would hold him in place. I tried to get into the 1056 but I wasn't able to remove the rear wheels (which you need to to access 2 small screws). I could see no way to get into the new MF :-\
