TS was quite modified from original spec. Original engine was long gone. Made over $8k. Would have cost a fair bit to put back on road. Cab work to pass inspection with rust under red paint and busted windows. May have needed engineer certificates for mods. Doubt you would be let loose on the roads in this 40 plus year old monster machine without everything being sorted for safety purposes and a smile as bright as Shane Warne when you turned up at paton brakes for reconditioning. May well take the entire Greek National debt to get it to pull up even half as quickly as Greg Norman on the final round of a major. This may be okay if you were Sir Tristan Antico, but would see most of us living in a dog kennel upon receipt of the account for parts alone. Mounting of crane in centre of tray was problematic to loading and was equivalent capacity to two small trucks as a result. Had not been registered for quite a few years, but a worthy, albeit money absorbing project in my opinion. This was my assessment of it. Interested in alternative views.
