You have been doing a ripper job on this truck, but I’m a bit concerned. In Australia, this truck just wouldn’t cut it as a tow rig. The wheels should have been chromed for a start and you are short side marker lights by a couple of dozen and what’s the story with that exhaust. I understand if you don’t want a straight pipe, but it should be at least a 6 inch pipe and preferably two. 👍
The wheels are the least of our concerns at the moment with the many thousands of ponds we are spending on it... better things to be spending money on then £4000 on shiny wheels.... if you had been watching from the start you would know the exhaust is not fastened on yet and it not cut to size. There's no room for twin stacks. Regards the lights this is how it was built we are adding some additional lamps but it's not a legal requirement and how it is is more than adequate.

Top of each side door are sunk in
That's because the seals are not fitted yet and doors have not been setup until we have the new door seals then we will line up all the doors

The alloy wheels may come at a later date but for now these will work just fine.
@@RetroRestorationGarage yeah watched it from the start. You put some work into those side lockers.
That’s the way the sun visors are ment to be on a 3 series 👍🏻
Thanks for confirming I wasn't sure as first 3 series I've restored 🙂👍
It's so the driver can reach over a flip them easier, she's coming on well Andrew
Thanks again mate 👍
15.60 Are those yellow seals made for twin wires, I have only come across singles which are weatherproof on a single wire?
We managed too squeeze 2 wires in because it's only thin core needed as everything has now been converted to LED
