Truck at the shop

There has finally been some progress in the project after a slowish winter. We took the truck to a guy we know from the Volvo circles.

There it goes!

And there it is, at the shop

The container followed on a trailer. Our guy designed and built the subframe and we are really happy with the result! The subframe sits on a three-point mounting with the pivot at the back.

 

Of course the colors could possibly match even better...

The truck itself got some taking care of as well. The front middle seat was installed (it was lacking, but it'll be nice to be able to travel with everyone in front, if we want to). Also the back supports of the other front seat and the back seat were missing and got installed as well.

Our guy took the combo to the vehicle inspection, which is mandatory in Finland. Suprise suprise, it didn't pass!

So now we are waiting for some magic to happen :) Hopefully at the next inspection everything will be OK.

We will start working on the container when we get the truck back on our yard and the weather warms up a bit. We had a warm winter and now a slow spring. We bought 3D-plans for the interior design from our local carpenters, so we have great guidelines and measurements to start working with. The next purchase is probably going to be the windows.

Hopefully there will be some developments soon!

Have a great spring!
