So collected the donor cab last Thursday, got it home left it there until this evening. Gave the bodywork a good scrub and assessed the situation:
Bonnet- far better than mine- swapped
Headlights- crystal, better than mine (discoloured and lined)- swapped
Grille and hockey sticks- in one piece so better than mine- swapped but need to source a set of the clips for under the wings
Next to swap:
Wings- in much better nick than mine, which are scratched and dented, and one has had a poor paint job at some stage
Rear drivers light cluster- mine is letting in water from a massive crack that magically appeared and was pointed out by my four year old, who however knew nothing of it's origin!
Aerial- missing on mine. The donor has a non-retractable one, was hoping to pick up a retractable one but with the money they're going for on eBay any aerial is better than no aerial!
The seller claimed the electric roof was all working 100% so will need to get a decent battery onto it to see, and swap over whatever bits I need.
Attached are a few pics of getting it home, and swapping over the parts
