well now we have a section of our very own, I'll put my rebuild up.

It started off as a learner wagon for the german squaddies, then was RAF military Police, and then RNLI used it to launch a lifeboat, so lots of dips in sea Sad

I started off with little more than a pile of rusted parts laid on a farm for which some mercenary (tinker, lol Shocked ) decided was gonna rob the axles to fit under a range rover. I fancied something a bit different to a suzuki, so here it is:-

the engine still needs HT leads, and it now needs a wiring loom cos mice have nested in it. roof is in the process of being sewn together, and for that Tina, i am ever grateful. and a load bed has to be constructed.

and then I can start the mods Very Happy

Man - I'm with you. In the dark times, when all is hard, just remind yourself how much worse it would be with a landrover!

Dude,

Sorry I didn't reply to your post, I'm getting married in, err, 10 days so life's a bit hectic.

Looking good, and if there's anything I can help with, let me know - see my other post - we tend to hang on to many spares, but we have some extras and some tools.

good luck,

jim
