F250 Project

ashley186

This is a project I'm working on for a mate. It's an imported LHD 4x4 big block F250. My task is rust repairs and a fresh coat of paint. Challenge so far has been the roof which was caved in badly, it's almost sorted...

White is the best colour for that generation

Looks like a good project, love the old F trucks!

Awesome! F trucks are cool!

First coat of primer so I can now see what's required to straighten out the smaller imperfections

Painted the first door today but have an issue - my new (secondhand) compressor seems to let a LOT of oil past, and it got past the separator so it's got fish eyes all over it :( back to the drawing board

Cab is painted - have to have a second go at the bonnet, but the rest looks decent

It looks great! It's rare to see an F series of that era with decent paint and no rust.
