Anyone for spaghetti? Andrew Cooper has sent in another of his regular 'Project Peterbilt' updates which features the ongoing restoration of his classic Yankee Clipper. Hi Brian," he says, "welcome to what could be one of the final blog updates on Project Peterbilt."
"We are now at the final stage of the total re-wire.a process that commenced just 2 weeks ago by my long term mate and all-round good egg Ken Britton - Ken has carried out this process on all of the four trucks I have restored since 1996 and has carried out hundreds of examples of electrical excellence on customers' vehicles for us over the last 25 plus years."
Andrew continues: "Just how he manages to totally re-wire vehicles in his own very proffesional 'top flight' manner simply amazes not only me,but everyone I know of who has had the pleasure of dealing with him over the years. Ken mate - I simply cannot thank you enough for not only this job,but everyone of the jobs you have done... As my parents who before me ran our business for 29 years said 'you are a legend'!"
AC adds: "Many thanks to my good mate Bob Tuck for the present. It was good to see him again,I dare say we will be meeting up again soon as the '09 season is just around the corner and 'Adrew's' long-awaited test drive of Project peterbilt is fast-becoming ever nearer!" Great stuff Andrew you can now see some light at the end of the tuinnel... Now click through here for an example of Andrew's 'day job'.
"Meanwhile... As Ken was doing his bit we have been kept fairly busy respraying a rather swish orange FH12 for a fellow Biglorryblog follower,after a valeting person washed the cab with 'un-diluted traffic film remover'. And I am assuming that's not good - BLB!
Coops, "let there be light", she will be the centre peice of the evenings entertainment at the Steelsboys BBQ at Gaydon, hope you check all lights a fill out a defect sheet before every run !!!!LOL
Glad Ken got her done on time....
