My last build had a good following on here so I said I'd throw this one up now too when I have a chance
Build 1: Iveco daily
The following is a 96 Transit flatbed which i picked up a couple of weeks ago from donedeal and finally got started on the body yesterday.
Main plan is to sell it on as I want another iveco if I can find another good one, but this came up during my search so I said id build a body for it!
First job:
Get the body off which wasnt too bad on my own lol
Second job:
Plates made to make the body bolt on/off the truck
Third Job:
Starting the body and working out the best way to build it.
I'm doing this body different than the iveco to keep the weight down and really overbuilt the last truck as I needed it to be strong for straightening bent cars with the 7.5 tonne winch. This body will be strong but not bomb proof like the last!!
Fourth Job:
Started on the beaver, slightly different than before because i have no 'subframe' as i call it and mock up 2 angle pieces which will be braced forward to give the beaver extra strength
Fifth job:
Strengthening the beavertail
Ran out of gas then yesterday and been busy at websites today so gonna crack on with it this evening and hopefully get the ramp holders made and have it ready for the floor and siderails tommorrow.
