FullArmor Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I bought this kit 10€ from older gentleman at truck meet. He had driven these at military. These were used in sixties and some converted to diesel in seventies because of massive fuel consumption (42 l/100 km). Kit looks like fairly decent. My first truck build and second car model. Wish me luck😁 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Engine. Good instructions and fitment of parts. Added missing ingition leads. Need to add capasitor. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 In picture ingition leads seam too large but in reality they are ok. That red cable diameter is 0.25mm and it is used in wire wrap test circuits. It is almost impossible to try use any smaller cable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullArmor Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 I'm not completely satisfied with capasitor, but better than nothing. I hope that this motor will fit nicely to frame. Next i will start with frame construction. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullArmor Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 The most nerve wracking step of build...to get all frame pieces to line up...luckily this kit has been like assebling lego bricks👍 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 FYI Sometimes building a simple jig to align it all can be helpful . Also might be worth looking at the work of Alexander Pedan for some inspiration ?, he's made some great trucks over the years, although been quiet for a while . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was challenge to glue everything together whilst also obtain movable steering and rotating rims🧐. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
