Well we have just finished packing up a U1700L (or what was left of it) ready for Transportation from Queensland down to the shop in Sydney. Its a shame that the previous owner stripped it, threw away the cab and tray and left it in the state it is in for the last two years.

Some may wonder if we are crazy or bitten off more than we can chew but we like a challenge.

So as you can see we definately have a lot of work to do before its back on the road.



As you can see it has no cab or tray, but luckily pretty much everything else is there including Dash and interior items. The box on the back is the crate we built up on it to hold the parts ready for transport.

This one has the Factory RHD conversion.

Parts Parts Parts..now where do they all go

We actually got the full Mercedes Workshop Service Manuals with it so that will be a big help. A cab is on order for it, so thats one hurdle out of the way. We are still undecided if we will cut the cab down into a soft-top, but will decide that once it arrives along with my new 404.

Stay Tuned.

Well we definately have a cab for it now..I think that the cab has had a longer history than the truck though and needs a lot of TLC

The doors need some work to get rid of the rust, but they are a pretty simple design so it should not be to hard to fixed that up (we hope)
