04 Fuso FG Project - Work Truck Dreams.. Advice Needed

Hey guys I am new here but have been reading the posts for a while now. I recently got an 04 Fuso FG as the title states. Auto transmission, dump and tool box, set up nicely for my line of work which is landscaping and snow plowing. The truck was sitting for a couple years (I think 2) and I've been having a tough time with it. Work I've done includes rebuilding the transmission, I've got coolant leaking out of the bottom hose of the rad and the truck seems to not be building much power so I have suspicions of the turbo acting up to. Anyone with knowledge of these trucks care to chime in? Should I quit while I'm ahead? At the moment I'm kinda kicking myself for now getting something domestic that mechanics are familiar with. Right now I have $15k Canadian into it and I feel like I need to see the project through to get any sort of return on truck or ideally have a tough and dependable truck for the crew to beat up.
