Terry Lofley is doing a fancy build....

Like brand new, a true 'nut and bolt' rebuild.

I would love to do the same to mine, I only lack the skill, time, space, and funds:)

Terry is moving on with the build, Reece has been off this week.

They should be somewhere near ready for the cab being fitted at the weekend.

Then the big colour debate starts..... Should he paint it ? or leave it in primer and let the customer choose ? If he does paint it, what colour ? 

Terry fancies a flat grey like James Priestley's, I think it's a Ford RS colour. 

He would appreciate some input if you guys have an opinion....?

Quasar gray like mine.

hi guys 
were very close to putting some colour on, but want to get it right,
I do think that Keswick green suites these types of little trucks we build, but green is not everyone's choice.
have a look at the ones below and any suggestions you have regards colour that would complement the build will be considered 
i was going to advertise this in primer so a potential buyer can choose, but really want to get it done 
thanks guys 
the doc 



 

Cab fitted and its all running, ready for a full respray in the customers choice of paint.

 

I think the guys are going to finish the prep and put it in primer until they have sold it.

I would love to buy it and in a supreme effort....I'm putting this weeks beer money on the 2.30 at Kempton tomorrow lol....

very nice work guys 
+1 on the audi nardo grey 
wheels in LRC354

Terry has been back to the grind, working in the bodyshop (if anybody bends their Bentley, he's your man) but he has got the pick up bed fabricated and ready for a trip to the galvanisers......

 

Still no decision on what to do about the paint, he's going to leave the underside of the pick up bed in its galv finish, put liner on the top side and head board, then body colour the side and back panels, leaving the galv edges and fittings of the bed on show.

It will be in full primer soon and ready for paint, will he wait for a customers choice or finish it ? If so, I do like that grey he's considering.

Great work!

Just about ready for paint, Terry is super happy about the build, says it has been a lot of fun but a ton of work....

I don't think he will wait for a customer to choose the paint colour, its too shiny, he'll paint it and use it as shop truck...

 

The bed looks great and the interior finish is like factory.

Looks like Terry has sold the pick up truck, customer chose paint and they have painted the panels. Body being done over the weekend and should be built by Wednesday..... Not my choice of colour but I'm not buying it....



I'll get some pictures of it finished, the colour might win me over then...

Looks quite nice that colour, bet it'll look even better all assembled.
