While you could spend months driving your project truck to countless companies, there is another option. You could take the easy way out and find someone to do the entire job for you. One such company is Banbury-based Coles Custom, which really is a one-stop-shop. You only have to look at Gary Cole’s incredible ‘Convoy’ Scania T-cab (p40) to realise that there’s very little that these guys don’t know about customising.
What the expert says
Gary Cole, www.colestransport.co.uk: “We can do as little or as much as you
want,” explains Cole (pictured), who is currently working flat-out on a stunning Scania 620 Topline eight-wheel tipper.
“If a customer chooses to go the whole hog, then we can sort everything for them, including the air-brushing, exhaust stacks, getting the chroming done, the leathertrimming, the lights and the wheels. We also manufacture a full range of parts for Scanias, including stainless-steel bumpers, deep sun visors and even badges.
“There’s no limit to how much you could spend, but you could make a truck look great for about £20,000.”
