minute ago oh yeah we've been in Collective and collected it yeah see you're thinking about the content this bit's going on as well we're going to have that bit in we Ben Yep this one had um a Kel bar or something so someone's drill some holes here for it various other bits will be making the change yes the corner bit here cuz someone has drilled holes put cable tires on Parish it's Parish see we do need new ones doirs so we're going we're going to get new airbags for the front cuz they're Paris and I really want to know what's inside there I knew it's going to happen they s me a bit of rubber it won't hurt you got trousers on for for God's sake do want to just do it and then yeah what is that bit of rubber wa from where bump stops fell apart oh is this a bump start yeah we got this side on a pallet on a pallet truck we got this side on on a pallet on a pallet truck and we're going to slide her through just so they know there is actual stands under it oh yeah there is they're back there and there look we do have a safety feature and insurance and insurance I think this all comes under my mobile phone insurance look at that do we need a little at this point and it'll push me on yes we do look at that what's the next job get that a and po there titing going on over there [Music] 's just gone out the lines it's all your fault where you going [Music] now there I drive I make got off for you I've worked hard today just turn tell tell turn I will vouch for him now he has worked hard today he has done his first day of work first day of hard proper graph you have you you've you've surprised me not only that you've been helpful I actually you have been very helpful today so hats off there you go yourself pat on the back I think we need to show them what we've achieved today we've achieved a lot that's why half it's not filmed because I've actually been working the leaf spring axle get the Ste is now on this one bolted in at the front as well it is so that's ready just to back end up bolt on blah blah blah ra yes and then around this way the air axle axle stand as well there many holes to drill yes because these what what goes there but those holes aren't on that chassis you have thought just made all the chassis the same but they're not there so you got to drill lots of holes yes and these four Yep they're not on that side so you got to drill them but they need to be dead right if not we'll be going down the road like this you can goate knowing they're under knowing what normal people have to do for a living CFT award I have a bag of bags a bag of bags new airbags look at these then quality sampa sample 5555 a piece bargain Volvo £360 a piece I'm going to I'm going to assume that Volvo's quality is a lot better than how dare you oh the rubber is actually coming off on my hands proper quality it's got the green tick this has been checked I'm after a Blue Tick you're after a green tick this whoa whoa whoa whoa hang on hang on hang on what hang on look don't need that look what's that fing kit ah we'll probably find out why they're 55 quid when we're on our top speed run but there you go in here you got to drill some holes for the bags cuz this chassis doesn't have holes so that sits Benny boy it don't it does and then it R where's the air fitting in there oh you see that's why that's why you're the uh Financial director and I'm the service manager hopefully that'll give us lows how are we looking because once you've got this all buttoned up we're going for a top speed run stand the old Air strip tee throw a passenger plane was 15 seconds from touchdown a terrifying breach of security controller here on this one look we have an option for up and down for the rear for the rear because the rear axle was the only air one was now if you come this way to the truck that that axle came off I have the option for front all and rear so we need this controller and all the e there's apparently according to Sean there's an ECU behind the seat that controls the front axle so we need to look for that as well and oh so that'll all be the lo as well oh no oh I'm having flashbacks yeah let's shut that up again fixed I have something for the Vol H V8 I'm intrigued come this way wheels are on and the air is new axles on yes yep buttoned not buttoned up bolted up you ready before we show you what's in here yep go 3 2 1 boom doesn't she look gorgeous really is super that's for so we've got a few things we need to talk through on this no mud guards on the back no mud guards they're gone bump stops off for high speed RS bump stops off she's looking good though snail air cleaner off snail snail tried picking that off wouldn't have it it's actually stuck yeah look how low the engine is now before when you when you was bleeding it up he was up here like this B you have the ladder on the step ladder you have the step ladder up here to bleed up and Tinker yeah she's down here she's got some stance on her look look how low she is bear in mind that was well High here let's see what's in here for the project these have come from Poland bear in mind oh dear the shipping was more than the product the product was £8 each and the shipping was 45 each and this is what I think it is £8 each yeah I'm not really sure oh and the black yeah they're definitely they're not Volvo these are deeper arches this she's going to sit low with these on then she's going to be a low [Music] rider go [Applause] might have some lining issues no no no no that's very low see what what do you think it's too much though think look better it's time it's time it's gone there is a vol fh8 space in the unit it's not here because it's on the trailer outside look at that how good does that look look how it sits front air is all working as well so she go right up in the air for loading is she ready for another test run today is going to be good day a good day we got Matthew coming he's ringing his race car as well and we got this tank on this is going to where we're going so this will pay for the diesel I got your packed lunch this time you ain't got any monsters I've got nothing oh nothing at all here we go then ready boy she goes again she does look good with our front air we have a lot of time to debrief on the front air suspension don't we Ben on the way up this this do mind turn was a bit awkward M don't know how day is going to go I want to end the day with a burnout though so stay tuned to the end of the video I want to end the day with a burnout if we get that far so what you're saying is it might end on a high and then do a burnout and end on a real low or it may just end on a low it may not even get off the trailer depends if the air suspension r is up it was very touching go whoever today was going to be going ahead wasn't it yeah it was um electrically on the air suspension I had to make me own Loom rather than rip it out the silver one because that's too much hassle so I made me own room and then the air suspension didn't go up and there I wasn't sure why but young Timothy got me on the right track and we discovered the issue one wire was not in a pin properly pop that in she was away spent all day so we was happy with that and then and then and then I cracked an injector in it probably about 6:00 on a Saturday afternoon so we wasn't getting any new injector pipes so I had to make a n Out of a 17 mil Long Reach socket we'll show you that in a bit it works we've only got 70 oh no no 111 miles 111 miles to go so we'll see you [Music] shortly super coming off here Benny boy where

out some big licks has to calm down before it releases a bit more I'm not really sure apart from that very successful that is it that that literally is the only problem the throttle is intermittent
