  4. The radiator was completely redone. We have not dismantled all the tranfer box but we have done some work change oil seal change a ring bronze we completely dismantled the hand brake and change the trim the ward have air brake , in case of problems must rely on the handbrake it must be perfect radiator the ring bronze down was dead , if you have an ward look at it ! the hand brake systeme i had repaint all after ferodo

  18. Here are many pictures of the restoration of the wrecker.It arrived in may 2008 the truck is in good condition, it is a good basis for restoration because it almost complete.
