Well only bought this truck for a bit of fun and I just wish I had done some homework before rushing into buying a Shengqi Hummer .
I have replaced some of the problem parts and will do others as and when needed.
I didn't like the body and wanted something different, I would have liked to make a body to match my car but there is too much work in that so I have come up with something else, Not finished yet but it's taking shape.
I was going to make something from aluminium sheet but then I spotted these that the wife had bought along with an old oil can I had.
After some measuring and some cutting.
Some work later with some aluminium plate and rivets I got this.
Front arches.
Some paint and stickers.
Got to make it fun too by having something like Animal to ride it, Kermit will be pillion but you can't see him
Take no notice of the rear arch, this was just put on there so I could draw the shape I wanted.
I know the center of gravity is now a lot higher and I'm not going to win any races but this is just purely for a bit of fun.
In the process of making the rear arches now.
More pics to follow as and when.
Comments welcome for a newbie.
