MDFord Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Whats your plans then Tris, looks pretty impressive even before you have started. I've got to ask you mate, is it a spare bedroom you use as a workshop, just a guess - seeing the border on the wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertlerik Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hello Tris, I like that Volvo, were did you get it, i promised Rob from ISE one, but can't seem to find them. Erik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Yeah it's the airing cupboard room. PC, filing cabinet and workbench. Happy days!! Well initially my first idea was to mount the Volvo on the MAN chassis - but not stopping there, more alterations would be done. As it happens, the Volvo cab won't take to the MAN chassis so it means the Volvo chassis will be used after all. ... with a lot of help from the Dremel. Just waiting on an email from Volvo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well, new chassis knocked up and the cab is sprayed in undercoat. As you can see, not a regular chassis Bit of detailing to do now. The cab will be the last thing to be done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
