robin craig Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Run away, quickly, I can hear the sucking vortex of the cash machine dolling out money constantly . . don't, please, something British at least Andy. Wonder if it will run for more than 3 minutes:nut:????? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormin Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Glad you bought it as that's the kind of daft project I would take on at one time. Is there no semblance of a cab to work with and repair or is it a lost cause? Do you intend restoring to original military spec or just using as an off road plaything truck trialler? If it's the latter, why bother with a cab just put a cage on and a few panels to keep the splashes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haybaggerman Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 what the hell is he burning in that thing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrtcrowther Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Diesel.....Lots and lots of diesel. He most probably has a button in the cab he can flick to turn on excess fuel to gain a tiny bit more power but also to put on a good show:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 tatra's have a tendency to smoke a bit :nut: but they are not the only ones I still cant belive that their chassis survives this. there are still a some 813s in Denmark, so cab could maybe be found in denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
