    Put the silver volvo back together as a normal truck, get it sold, and then use the finances from the volvo to finish the 4 series in normal life you try to walk before you can run .

      That's actually a brilliant idea! That way he can still have his full trailer for work and carrying cool stuff on it and in truck shows he can bring both his trailer and the Volvo so they can sleep next to the Scania. If he does end up doing that I hope fans won't come down knocking on his door in the middle of the night.

    B a paint room paint booth
    C a show room area for finished projects you could have a show room with the R series for now and then eventually then 4 series. Also have the truck sim.
    Also a merch shop.

    Hey.. the 4 series will happen when it happens.. it might be next week.. it might be next YEAR.. but im sure I speak for most of your community when i say " we will be ready.. and we will be SUPER excited to see it at truck shows".. I think you should part out the silver FH.. with Helens approval of course.. then put those funds into the 4 Series.. also.. the door falling off the R series would make for a good bit of content wouldnt it..

    • @wagmiorngmi
      @wagmiorngmi Місяць тому +1

      the 4 series will never happen. He got bored of that the moment he bought the FH V8 project. Once they get relegated to the corner of the shed, or worse - moved to another location for make space for something else, that's the end of the project and it will sit there rotting away until you eventually die and then your kids are left to dispose of it all. He should send the whole lot except the S and R series to the scrapper and start doing some proper work.

    2 Take the sides, skirts and good bits off the silver one and scrap it
    3 Finish the V8 swap completely
    4 Get rid of all the rubbish and unused parts
    5 then return to doing the T4

  • @wagmiorngmi
    @wagmiorngmi Місяць тому +1

    Nobody is buying the silver FH even if you put it all back together. The cab or chassis was bent on it iirc so you won't even get any interest from an export company and they'll probably want you to pay THEM to take it away. Strip it for parts (those wheels will fetch a good few quid) and then ring the scrap man to come take the chassis, and let him take the 2 Scania cabs, 4 series chassis and Volvo V8 at the same time. Nobody cares for the simulator.

      He's a typical hoarder. Just buys random crap on a whim with some vague plan to do something with it at some point in the future. Then something else comes along and the previous one gets dumped in the corner of the yard or barn to be forgotten about because he's lost interest. None of these projects will get completed, or if they do it will be some half-arsed job with it being 10x worse than what it started as. He'll just keep flitting from one project to another as he dreams up some new plan; there'll be a brief flurry of activity on them, then boredom will set in again. He's kdding himself if he thinks any of these will get done. I'm sure Ben is loving being paid handsomely to basically play with power tools and welders all day without actually achieving anything useful.
      He bought that S series for no reason other than he has money burning a hole in his pocket. He's not using it and it's just losing thousands and thousands in depreciation every week. The R series still works fine and is road legal so long as he keeps the exhaust diverter turned off for road use. It's clear that's where his passion is and he loves driving that. He has no passion for the S series and it's clear to see. Now he's on about starting a project on that to customise it. :facepalm:

    Scrap the lot, the silver volvo is bent so could never be sold anyway,( you got robbed with that) the sim is a load of scrap and could never actually be used outside at a show. The Volvo v8 is useless because you didn’t fit the engine properly 😂, just be honest you’ve had a good run on here and you’ve obviously made some serious money out of it. Scrap the lot and start a T cab project or maybe go wild and start a haulage company either way all of the amateur projects that you’ve half done are getting a touch boring now (and I’m a fan). Just be honest with us and yourself, you were like a kid in a sweet shop- you got carried away once the money started rolling in. To a certain extent we’d all do something similar, but not as bad. Please scrap the lot and start again before people get bored.👍
