Ok i guess the S2, is now finished !!! over 700 hrs and nearly 40 grand the truck is ready for rego, and will be worken for a living from now on !! Cheers Adam Down at Vic Roads for rego this morning, got the" all good" from the "chick with the stick" as they measure it up, 15min later and 2 grand lighter, she,s back on the road ! Back at home, with the new number plates on, she,s ready for work, **** i even have a job for Monday too!!! So i guess that's pretty much the story of the S2, I will have it sign-written old style, and i will put up some pic,s when that done, but for now cheers Adam
