Its the orginal box buts its in bad shape so I just gave it a coat of primer until i get a good second hand one from a breaker.What airfilter is that is that how they were, look's like a paint tin hahah.
Looking very smart how many hours you got in it now??
Yea takes a bit of timeIts the orginal box buts its in bad shape so I just gave it a coat of primer until i get a good second hand one from a breaker.
Probably an average of 20 hours a week between me and Dad since the middle of March so a fair few!
On the home straight now, putting it all back together is the best part i reckon. I'm very relieved everything lined up on the cab ok since she was a 955 cab i had to cut out holes for gear levers handbrake etcYea takes a bit of time
But worth the end result though your doing well mate hang in there
Good stuff thats restorationOn the home straight now, putting it all back together is the best part i reckon. I'm very relieved everything lined up on the cab ok since she was a 955 cab i had to cut out holes for gear levers handbrake etc
We had a 4000 once (1973 M reg) it had yellow paint underneath, but was delivered brand new as a normal blue one, dont think it was a primer, definitely council yellow.Got this on Saturday, another project, think it's one of the last of them, must have been ex counsel as it's got yellow paint underneath. Cab is completely rotting, restored a 2wd one of these few years ago, I love the simplicity and proportions of them. So that's my winter evenings sorted!View attachment 561768
I think they painted a few yellow to fill orders that might come but never went through so blue was then added a later dateWe had a 4000 once (1973 M reg) it had yellow paint underneath, but was delivered brand new as a normal blue one, dont think it was a primer, definitely council yellow.

Also heard they had a day paining yellow ect and painted to many so they go back through not from a reliable source but seems fitting i guess
Mine was ordered at a time when it took over a year to get a new Ford delivered, so would make sense.I dont know so much but ive heard / read basically the same if it was sat for sale yellow but they wanted blue it got chucked back to paint shop
Dunno ?
