A Journey Back in Time: Exploring My 1988 Kenworth K100E

It's time to take a look at Brett Eldridge's 1988 Kenworth K100E! While working on an oil and gas platform off Western Australia's coast, Brett's deep-rooted love for trucks was reignited. Inspired by tales of enthusiasts breathing new life into vintage trucks, he made a bold move and purchased a vintage truck from Melbourne, sight unseen.
Over two challenging years, especially during the global Covid situation, Brett, with the invaluable help from George MacDonald and his team in Warrnambool, meticulously restored the truck. Once a faded pink relic, it now stands tall, reflecting its past grandeur but with the added touch of modern safety and performance features.
This restoration is not merely about a machine. It's a tribute to Vince Ballerini, the previous owner who maintained its original motor, driveline, and interior with immense care. It's a story of dedication, community support, and honoring legacy. Dive into this captivating journey and see how a cherished possession was brought back to life.
