I started my story with this rare style since the seventies of the day when my father owned such as this rare style long time ago .. I could then own it and keep it as part of my family and it is a coincidence that the car model 1979 where I was born in the same year
The gmc company at Dubai wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the desert fox and found out about my GMC Desert Fox Jimmy which is at Saudi Arabia through my Freined Saad Hajari and Instagram. They asked me to join the brand during the Dubai International Motor Show 2017 and have my truck display on the GMC stand.
After taking my consent to participate, the meeting was held with Mr. Sajid Sabeeh, General Motors' manager in the Middle East. The car was seen on the ground and was admired. He did not expect to find this model with the same original specifications.
I suggested that I restore it to be like new in the show. The time was big issue cause I have only one month before the show and I reassured him that everything will be okay and that the
result will be dazzled, God willing
For my experience and good luck, my old friend opened a new repair shop for old cars and trucks. I suggested to him to restore my desert fox Jimmy and to be completed within one month only . He was hesitant because of the short time. But in the end, he accepts the challenge and adventure, either to succeed or lose this opportunity
We started work to restore the chassis after sanding and cleaning and at the same time the workers began to work on the removing all the car parts .. It was clear that the rust is very little, which may help us to reduce the period, on the other hand I started to provide all the spare parts and accessories ( new original gm ) which were mostly available to me, I forgot, the important things that made me decide to restore the car is the availability of original graphics by a Low Sierra company at USA which was requested immediately to avoid any delay. Everything was done according to the duration and the plan .. We finished 2 weeks after the re-installation of the body parts,
One of the most difficult tasks at the time of restoration is to keep & maintain the original sticker for the word Desert Fox and then to install the new graphics to be the same size and thanks God the result was excellent .
