Thanks for checking in !!
I guess that as a South African male, it comes naturally to want a truck.
It is also a practical tool.
Ohhhh..... And my wife said I could have one

This is true Clem, also makes space for other treasures.
It's is nicely hidden behind this built up garden section, so you can hardly see the garage from the house.
The paint and body on my truck passes muster at50 meters.
And the truck is photogenic
However, close up there is not a straight panel or piece of trim.
Take a look at the pics below to get an idea.
Ask Martin just how much work there is.
It is definitely getting a full repaint, and all panels will get reworked, including the whole of the interior.
Next up, passenger door flipped open by wind and put a crease all the way down, taking the shiny trim with it.
Not particularly repairable in my book.
Front spear passenger side.
Passenger side door and cab trim.
Fleetside rear passenger side. Inbetween the trim there used to a sticker and some idiot removed it with a screwdriver or knife, damaging the paint.
You can see how the paint has been damaged.
Driver side, some of the trim had been bent over and pushed back.
Front grille had been struck at some point over the second "E" and repaired with a ballpein hammer.
The grille is very scratched from some "attention" it had been given in the past.
There is rust on the trailing edges of the fenders that needs repairing and a variety of other bits to be fixed when the paint gets done.
Just waiting for a very large lump to fall off the drivers side.
More later.
