julezee001 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Looking great, and oh so SHINY! What I find scary is that the painting you have just done looks brighter DBG than your older paintwork. What is it about DBG that makes it do that? Your truck is even under cover. At least she's gloss so you can T-cut the colour if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jules , Some of the paint has been on a very long time !:blush: I'm thinking of writing a book about Scammell ownership and restoration " Fifty shades of green" !:nut:Given up worrying about all the different greens on Daisy and decided a blow over when she's complete should do the trick ! Hope you and the family are all well mate ! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The "Blow it all over when it's finished" intention is great. That's what I hoped to do with mine, but I'll have to patch up the cab roof, replace the rear floor, finish the bins, repair the downpipe (again!), fix the radiator, and........ It won't matter if you don't go right over it. The grin factor driving down the road, both for you, and anyone who you're sharing the local area with, will be totally unaffected by slightly different shades of DBG!

ax40 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sorry to come into this late - I knew Daisy back in 2000 - 2001 when I was attempting to sell classic cars online and on a commission basis. At that time she was slightly better condition than she was when you got her but had a blown head gasket. Sold for £1500. I contacted Vicarys and spoke to a guy there who remembered her as a very useful piece of kit. About 4mpg on the way out to a recovery, a lot worse on the way back. Was often used for pulling artics that had left icy roads and once was involved in the rescue of a stolen mobile crane that had been driven into a lake. At that time I wasn't involved with military vehicles but even I could see that she was a beast well worth preserving. Bought a Ferret in 2004 after selling a Bristol 410 but that is another story ... Will Daisy make it to OVERLORD 2014? I'd love to see her again!
