On the road at last!

Well, got my UK MOT & road tax sorted today so I'm finally on the road!!
Had a last minute drama literally just before I needed to set off for the test centre - when the main radiator hose popped off and all my coolant drained into the road outaside my house!! Turns out i'd forgotton to check the hose clip was tight!!

Some more pics below as promised (the untidy wires etc have since all been tidied up!):

Congrats!!!!

I'll bet your heart stopped when the ol truck spewed its coolant all over the place! I'm glad it was something simple and didn't stop you from getting the paperwork sorted out.

Enjoy the ride
Bobby

Nice!...I especially like the choice of contrasting colors Grille vs Blue. The Ford script on the inside doors is a nice touch. What is the BOSS controller on the dash extension do?
