Signum Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 How'd you do that? Sorry - I meant I googled '0859 AEC Militant' and loads of different ones came up. I didn't mean the actually truck you own...that would be scary! lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Welcome aboard. You look like you have your work cut out there with that one. Still you are in the best place for help and assistance. What do you hope to do with it? BTW. PM sent, but I suppose I should have read this post first :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
single speed Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Cheers for the welcome guys. Not sure what to do with it yet. Do i leave the recovery crane on? i have contacted the company it worked for as a wrecker (Coussens Crane Hire in Bexhill) and they are digging some pics out for me. Quite impressed by the fact that after 1/2 a days work we got all the brakes freed off, & air up (and held for over 1/2 hour after switching engine off). Starts "on the button" and clutch etc. seem fine. If it werent for the fact its not had new filters etc. yet i'd be tempted to drive it home, but it'll get a piggy back on a friends low loader. Any suggestions on which way i should go with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Very nice , I think she'd look lovely in an old garage sort of colour scheme so I'd be tempted to keep her as a vintage wrecker , unless an unwanted complete body becomes available , There was a mint one at War and peace this year I'll post up a pic ASAP ! Good luck with her ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
