Postby blairreed » Wed Apr 08, 2015 2:06 pm

So I brought fez as my first project car/truck its perfect for the job good enough its worth spending money on but rough enough I dont care if I stuff it up to much.
Fez's previous owner was a mate of mine and he brought it from a farmer so the trucks had a hard life but been looked after.
The guy I got it off didn't have the money to spend on it to fix it so was going to send it to the scrappy but I manged to save it, its to good to rust away in a field.
So far all I have done is driven it off the trailer and up the drive where I started working on making it road legal again.
there's was a big list of things that needed to be fixed for wof but its now down to just the chip in the window and the hand break.

*Update*

So the mu is now road legal and I have taken it on a few trips.
I'm loving driving it but the main rear engine seal is leaking onto the clutch so its slipping when I give it to much revs so it looks like its back in the garage for a while.

Anyway here is a few photos of it now, slowly getting to a stage where I'm happy with it. Starting to look more like a 4wd and less like a daily driver that gets used for towing the boat twice a year :P
