That Little Black Truck...........Fixed

[OwdChina]

Some of you may remember that little truck I bought with a view to a quick turn around and sell on for some profit. Well it wasn't that simple. A lot of the engine turned out to be bolloxed and was replaced with brand new parts...............Even the wheels were too small and rubbed the suspension components on half lock........... here is a brief story in pictures.

It's so smol and cute!  Big chunky wheels a definite improvement and nice to see all that work going into the greasy bits.

All including buying the truck and parts I'm into it for around $2300..............these are much sought after around these parts (pool guys, gardeners etc.) so i should get close to 4ish back on it.
