Guest Ops Officer Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi there folks... I know there aren't that many of these in the UK and i am in the process of reviving one... I have a photo of it driving with my hot wired electrics and now it has been converted to 12v with the help pf my REME uncle Duncan and the parts Jedi's at Dallas Auto Products. This weekend i intend to get it road legal and can then worry about the bodywork and paint later (once i can get it from A to B) [http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e185/monkeydiver01/zorro.jpg] It has no eyes here but sight has been restorred! The mighty Zorro will live again this weekend! Come rain or shine! :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ops Officer Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The brakes are now fully operational! just the lights and indicators to wire up and she will be roadworthy. I do intend to come to some shows but i am having to fit it round the TA at the moment... I do hope to wind down the TA a bit so I can do more with the truck.

Bodge Deep Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Nice truck I know where there's one rotting, abandonned that may be good for spares. I'll take a look in the next few days se if its still there. It was a crash wreck tender. Not many built but pretty much beyond redemption.

Guest Ops Officer Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Cool... Spares are always a little awkward to get hold of. Dallas Auto Products are great but body parts usually have to come from the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ops Officer Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well it has been a while and it is now fully legal and has covered 60 miles on road and 50 off road! The truck is awesome!... Unfortunately just as it is ready for a cosmetic tart up, Her Majesty has decided she wants me to accompany her other soldiers in Basra for six months! Her are some pictures of the Dodge on a little outing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
