New HJ47

Wow! What a great looking truck. Love the build up pictures and the countryside in the background. How old is it and how long did you spend restoring it. I really like the lower panel between the cab and the back wheel. Did you paint it or did a shop spray it.

ps Do you use it as a daily driver?
Hi thanks for the compliments, yes I use it as a daily driver.
 
The finished product!

Here are pic of a HJ45 that we are restoring as we'll, another 2 months and it will be as good s new!Its a ex-South African truck as well,with very few km,some of these cars on the island were bought by emigrants from South Africa brand new and were kept in garages for years and would only drive once a year when they would come over on holiday.
