You shouldn’t rip the red one apart it’s in great condition and is all working. Instead use the red one and improve and modify it. But it’s Tim’s choice so if he wants to switch the parts to the other one there’s nothing stopping him.
Loved the video Tim & Shaun. I think Shaun is starting to fall in love with scan lorries. Now the red 4 series has had a Shaun inspection, you’re doing the right thing by breaking it up.
what you could do since u want a twin tag is stip the red one completely and then put it on the other 4 series chasie and you would be able to make it in to a twin tag with all the parts from the red one, in stead of stripping some of the parts move the whole truck over on the other chassie and you get what u would like + you have a whole functioning scania after it its a win win situation, we the comments get to keep the red scania and you get to get the twin tag u want and it will work
15:46 - 17:00 ; You can genuinely see and hear the passion Tim's got for the 4 series buid. But, Shaun's right.... you've got to take the plunge Tim.... yes' the red truck is nice, but the whole point of buying it was for the blue truck... you've got the red truck now, so just start taking the bits you want/need off the red one, and start re-building the blue one... its clear that the blue one is your passion project, because if it wasn't you would never have bought the red one as a donor vehicle.... you've got the blue one down to chassis, you've started the restoration work, there'n no point caning it now, or all your hard work will go down the pan mate
@@brentenbroodje4846 worth way more if kept original. What would be the point of buying a top of the range Range Rover with lots of extras if you can buy the extras seperate and put them in yourself. It will still always be a low end vehcle.
If you really want a twin tag Tim, why don't you just modify the mid-lift to become twin tag? It is in theory possible to carry over the axles and it's parts over to the red's chassi instead of giving yourself more work than that! Also, something interesting to see would be a refrigirated unit restoration or haulage with a owned ref unit!
Theres a guy near me who's turned a centre lift into a tag just by turning axle config around 180 deg,. Talk to Millingtons whitchurch shrops, he turns standard scanias into T cabs also,.
I want your tool kit! I think you should keep the chasse and engine from the blue one. take all of the parts from red onto blue that you are restoring, and put the red ones cab on it. Also cant wait for the scanvo
Hi Trucker Tim it was made by a Swede, he had a scania 141, with a smashed cab, and when he had a volvo cab standing, he put it on and called it the volvo F14
There was a Volvo F14 with a Scania V8 in Sweden some years ago and the gearbox from the Volvo fitted bolt on so I think you should give it a go, would be an awesome truck
I thought like others shame to brake the red series 4, but I have to admire your vision and determination, as you have a point the twin tag suits you better than the mid-lift, It's your dream to be fair. It'll be fantastic when done 👍
Tim, the reason it's so good, is the exact reason that it's a perfect breaker truck. All the bits you want are in decent nick. If you go and buy a bad example of a truck, you won't get many good bits off of it to use on your blue one. Plus it's all genuine scania bits as well. Better to make one perfect one from the two lesser trucks. I want your toolkit
I'd break the red 4 series, you have invested too much in the blue one to write it off now, keep up the amazing content and can't wait to see what comes next 😄
What ever you do with the truck Tim it is going to look amazing we will be here to support you and your channel it was also good to see lombardo on your channel keep up the great work looking forward to seeing when the trucks done👍🚛
Great to see Sean in a video, the pair of you are hilarious. Tim have you asked Nipper for his thoughts on using the red one as a parts donor? Anyway whatever you do will be the right decision.
I agree with pulling the red one apart as you already have the blue one stripped and will be easier to move parts over rather than stripping the red one down to do the same thing. How about calling the red one a Volscan bit like the vulcan
It's your truck Tim and your money, you do what you want, by the end of it the blue one will be one hell of a machine and everyone would be so happy you did it. I know you will be 😂 I say break the red one and make the best one rather than having two Okay trucks.
Yes, such modifications have also taken place. Although it's commonly talked about only in one case, it was interesting enough to spark regular discussions on social media. Usually, the accompanying photo is also shown, originally published in the Swedish magazine "Trailer" in the early 1993 issue. Clearly visible in the photo is a Volvo truck, a first-generation F12 model, with a V8 engine under the cabin and the characteristic Scania valve covers. Additionally, the "F14" marking on the cabin stands out, indicating a model that simply never existed in the official lineup. The surprising project was initiated by the now-defunct Swedish transport company Solstatrafik. They had a habit of buying trucks from both domestic brands, so in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you could find both Volvo F12 and Scania 141 in their fleet. The former was highly regarded in the company for its durable drivetrain, especially the incredibly robust axles. Volvo also offered a more modern working environment with a cabin design nearly a decade younger. On the other hand, the latter brand was supposed to deliver significantly better performance, thanks to its 14-liter V8 engine. In the 141 model produced from 1976 to 1981, it produced a maximum power of 375 HP, which exceeded the performance of the 12-liter six-cylinder F12 from the early production by 45 HP. Taking into account these advantages, a Volvo F12 with an engine from a Scania 141 seemed like the perfect truck for the Swedes. This is the modification that Solstatrafik decided to make in one of its F12 trucks by installing the "V8" engine from the 141 model. As if there weren't enough curiosities here, the Scania engine was directly connected to the Volvo transmission, which reportedly turned out to be entirely possible! Additionally, the truck received a non-original badge with the "F14" designation, indicating the 14-liter capacity. Moreover, on the radiator grille, right next to the Volvo emblem, a distinctive symbol "∀8∀" appeared. So, you can easily imagine the astonishment it must have caused among Swedish drivers, especially since the engine change also brought an
Everyone is saying do the red one up but no, Tim is correct in his madness do the blue as it's already in bits and the work has started on. It is more work to get the red one to the same point as the blue is currently than just to strip it of parts
I want your tool kit. A v8 fh will be awesome, if you're going to that length then it has to be remapped and run some proper power! Definitely strip the red one and ignore the hate and negative comments. You want a twin tag so make a twin tag!!!
Tim stay with your original plan don't listen to people take parts off the red one and use them to put on the blue one way more cost affective that way anyway no point in restoring that one to you will just be in the same boat chasing parts .tbf most of the parts on the red one are genuine anyway so I would just restore the blue one .
There has been one Volvo with a Scania V8 here in Sweden in the 1990s . A truck company called Solsta Trafik took a Volvo F10 and get a V8 frome a Scania 141 in it and had Volvo gearbox to it. They sad that to get volvos gearbox to match the Scania engine we're a pain in the as and took the longest time to finish
swap the chasie from the blue truck and take some of the blue truck bits that are good and use them for the bad bits on the red one instead of taking bits off the red to put on the blue truck save your self a whole load of money for the parts you need for the blue truck and use the parts you already have to make the red truck MOT passable and then if you feel like it pains the red truck blue or make it better once it’s leagal for the road
Just a bit of info, many years ago when I started driving the weight limit had just been put up to 38 tons on 5 axles up from 32 ton on 4 axles. Hardly anyone had 3 axle trucks or tri axle trailers, so many small company's and owner drivers took the cheaper option of converting their 2 axle units to 3 axles. The extra axle was tagged on the back, they already had 2 axles so the extra or third one being the tag, there is no twin tag unless you count odd specials. So please stop calling them twin tags they are not unless you have bought a 1 axle truck.
Red one could def be a great doner and also a good guide to putting the blue back together. also the engine could be a good for ur volvo project. def strip it but steady wins the race !!!!! looking forward to the Volnia V8
Tim, just my opinion, if it was me, I’d keep the red one as is for now & maybe once the blue ones chassis restored can you not swap the red ones cab over as it’s got all the extra cab options, & then use your blue ones other bits for the red one & put that V8 in the Volvania FHV8. You can still restore the blue cab, and then restore the red ones chassis after you’ve swapped bits over, the only problem you would have unless you put the Volvo engine in the so called red ones chassis, that way you keep all the trucks running & workable at the same time, If you catch my drift? Shame your quite away from me, as I’d like to get back on the tools best I can sanding prepping, priming, painting etc. As I have got NVQ Level 3 in vehicle refinishing in Bristol, Soundwell College from back in 1996/1998. Admittedly I haven’t done much on the bodywork or prep side etc, but watching your & other peoples bodywork jobs, it does all seem pretty much the same. Paint has changed, as most of its all water based, I’m used to polyurethane, paint mixing, Clear Over Base / Laquering, metallics / metaflake etc & 2K paints ( smells like pear drops, used to heat it up on a portable gas hob to help the viscosity / paint spray pattern crafty really, as it meant we used less paint as it flowed / spread better ) probably shouldn’t have admitted to that, as health n safety etc made things harder. Oh oh, Just noticed Shaun’s got a Mk6 Transit Minibus in his workshop. Daniel.
I want your tool box. Do it the blue one is your first and dream truck. Don’t have another midlift Scania. Scalvo fhv8 sounds like an amazing idea. Can’t wait.
I like the Idea Shawn suggested, You should Stretch it out into a wrecker since Shawn loves it so much, he might use it for more Recovery's. You can take this Truck to Recovery's and Shawn can Take his DAF and he can train you up to do that. May you can buy Half Shawn's business, and then you can have a good company and it would benefit both you of.
Now try north American truck 10, 13,15,18 speed or even the odd old twin stick. None are sequential gear boxes, so you float the gears. The clutch is just for stopping and starting
In my opinion the red one being a classic and also being in the condition it is I would say restore the red one yes it means starting again and converting it to twin tag however, what I would do is get the bloke from Scania down see how much it would be for the parts on the red one and then it would help you decide if it's going to cost half the amount and you'll have a better truck in half the time I know which I'd choose 🤷🏻♂️ plus use the engine from the blue one for the volvo
I thought I recognised the truck it was my dads old wagon Many years ago, spent a many good years and had some good memories in that truck hope you look after it
Hey Tim how you doing, we all understand where your coming from with ripping the red one apart for the blue one but the majority of us viewers would prefer if u keep the red and turn that into a show truck and sell the blue scania parts for scrap or more money towards the red one. And to show your appreciation with trucks, put your chassis rails from the law exports truck on the top of the office or even sell that for scrap. anyway good luck with what ever you do mate and keep up with good content :)
I know the decision ultimately falls to Tim, but wouldn't it make more sense to take the engine from the blue one, get that up to snuff and shoehorn it into the Volvo, then do a mid lift to rear lift conversion on the red one?
If you combine a scania and Volvo then you should call it a volcan 😂. Me personally I would put the v8 from the 4 series in to a f10 or f12 i would even use the stacks from the red scania on the Volvo project. Also I would love that tool advent calendar. 👍🏻
I think you should keep the red Scania how it is and for the Volvo put the engine and gearbox from the blue one and put it in the Volvo and take the twin tag from the blue and put it on the red .
I want your tool kit! Extra points for my lad running over a tyre in the Volvo ( better than hitting my Wifes car) and me falling into a wet tyre backwards. 😉
Tim just do what you want with the truck. You are like me and can’t do things In half’s so you may aswell have one very good truck that you want instead of two mediocre ones. 👌🏼
Put the twin tag on the red one and forget the blue money pit
Don’t break the red Scalia up it’s in much better condition than the other one! Either way keep up the great content! 😊
You shouldn’t rip the red one apart it’s in great condition and is all working. Instead use the red one and improve and modify it. But it’s Tim’s choice so if he wants to switch the parts to the other one there’s nothing stopping him.

The red one is not twintag

Loved the video Tim & Shaun. I think Shaun is starting to fall in love with scan lorries. Now the red 4 series has had a Shaun inspection, you’re doing the right thing by breaking it up.
Use the cab not just pieces and the engine a running engine is cheaper to fix then a non running engine
Tim don't your dare break that V8 she looks 10x better than the other 4 series. Awesome video as always!
that was mentioned in the comments but the clown doesn't listen
The one he's building will look better once it's done, think of this as a worthy sacrifice.
@@jeeves_uk hahahaha
When the blue one is done it wil be better then the red one so why wouldnt he do it
it hardly starts its still shite

Just take the cab off completely fit to the blue frame and put volvo cab on red frame easy
Hi Trucker Tim it was made by a Swede, he had a scania 141, with a smashed cab, and when he had a volvo cab standing, he put it on and called it the volvo F14
Just has to be you Tim! Love the FH V8 idea! would be one of a kind!
I know you've already done work in the blue one so feels like using red as donor is better but the red one is better to do up imo.
love the constant videos. Never get bored of the amazing exhaust sound
If you're breaking the red 4 Series, at least replace the parts that you take off with working ones so that it'll still works.
There was a Volvo F14 with a Scania V8 in Sweden some years ago and the gearbox from the Volvo fitted bolt on so I think you should give it a go, would be an awesome truck

Don’t destroy the Red Scania Tim, just try and switch the red one to a twin tag if able too
Please dont rip the red one apart its such a nice rig
Tim do you trust yourself to carefully get the bits off that red one to make the process worthwhile?

Keep the red one tidy it up a little & raffle it off. Use the proceeds, pay for scarnia powered volvo, and help towards the blue 4s

I know the decision ultimately falls to Tim, but wouldn't it make more sense to take the engine from the blue one, get that up to snuff and shoehorn it into the Volvo, then do a mid lift to rear lift conversion on the red one?
If you combine a scania and Volvo then you should call it a volcan 😂. Me personally I would put the v8 from the 4 series in to a f10 or f12 i would even use the stacks from the red scania on the Volvo project. Also I would love that tool advent calendar. 👍🏻
Tim! I want your toolkit!
Basically, you're just doing a 4 series chassis swap! 🙃
I suppose could transplant the red cab and get it repainted as a whole onto the blue one
Hey Tim why not make the other 4 serrie in to a t cab and cheap them both
That would be the best kind of show truck! FH V8! Such an outstanding idea
I think you should keep the red Scania how it is and for the Volvo put the engine and gearbox from the blue one and put it in the Volvo and take the twin tag from the blue and put it on the red .
Project Volvania V8 😜build can’t wait to watch it all happen.
put the cab and engine of the red one on the twin tag chassis as you have already started on the twin tag chassis and not the blue cab
FHV8 is gunna be amazing! Is that Shaun wanting a Scania wrecker I hear?
I want your tool kit! Extra points for my lad running over a tyre in the Volvo ( better than hitting my Wifes car) and me falling into a wet tyre backwards. 😉
ABS fault on your Scania. Fault code 10-2 indicates a right rear wheel sensor fault
Take the parts you need of the new four series but keep what's left so later down the road you can also restore that one aswel.
I think you just gave the NORDIC truck manufacturers a ♥ attack .....Go Timbo Go 😂👍
Tim just do what you want with the truck. You are like me and can’t do things In half’s so you may aswell have one very good truck that you want instead of two mediocre ones. 👌🏼
In sveden for a long time ago there was a volvo f12 where they put an scania ds14 engine and was caled the volvo f14
Keep it , manual as well just get rid of blue one and do red one up
Scrap the blue 4 sires and do up the new red one as its in good condition
The Volvo v8 would be awesome and I agree on taking the truck apart and building both trucks
