howye )


I have a bremach t-trek 4x4 truck, and the bottom of the headlights is 37 inches (94cm) from the ground. Is this an issue for the DOE, - is it road legal ?

Don't know the answer to that but throw up more photos of your 4x4

Was ecpecting more rust but it seems relatively clean.

the doors and the wings are the problem bits. the wings i have had panel beaten back into shape, but they still need to be finished with some fiberglass and filler, im gonna leave that to the panelbeater.

the doors have rust, but, like the wings, the metal is thick so they are savable.
whoever attached the mirrors to the doors was... well , not clever, they were extended mirrors, fixed in position, so when they eventually got a slap, it bent the door metal, and on the far side ripped clean off the door





the main cab is very sound. looking forward to getting it indoors and getting stuck into it over the winter.

one of the engine mounts its pulled back away from where it should be sitting. would love advice on what to do with it?

Nice winter project.. am actually jealous lol

I done some fibreglass repair work on a boat easy to master and a bit of gel coat it can sanded to good finish. I always found it difficult enough to get robust adhesion on metal.

I see you have chosen to paint it white the orange looks good too but orange would always make me think of ESB owned or building site.
