Hi Gavin, Ian, some of the issues im having with this build are....


No locating pins/lugs for front springs need to guess the position for them & hope front axle will locate correctly.


Spare wheel & carrier supplied, but spare wheel not to be used as no Tyre for it.


Bushes fitted inside of wheels to allow wheels to rotate to loose, & wheels are then floppy & look ready to fall off.


Nice big Chunky tyres which the wheels just Fall through so tyres will not stay on wheels,


Cab glazing is only the windscreen & door 1/4 windows.


Front axle tie rod fouls bottom of engine & stops the engine sitting on front mounting.


Rear axle tie rod had to be removed to allow fitting of rear anti-roll bar.


I am sure there will be more issues the further the build goes on... .

Got as far as the Rolling chassis now but Really P###ed that the big chunky tyres are to loose on the wheels. .
