I've got out of my restoration routine, forgot to take pictures of the stages of the seat rebuild, here it is finished and bolted back in place, the firm new web straps were hard to stretch and clip into position, would have been easie...

Re: Pickup restoration part three

Re: Pickup restoration part three

Alice has been busy these last few weeks, carrying timber to make the new shed workshop, just large enough to get a moggie in. http://i68.tinypic.com/1dyd52.jpg it's far from completed, still the insulation and inner panels to fit, but Alice has a bro...

Re: Pickup restoration part three
Cheers Bob, been a while, so much use for Alice, running building supplies, she's a sand and cement truck, she's soon to be a cobblestone carrier. She's done her time carrying a cement mixer. With the new Carb fitted, she takes it all in her stride.

Re: Pickup restoration part three
haven't posted in a while, busy with the house move to our bungalow. Alice was soooo handy during the move, not only trips for property into storage, but the Bungalow was a dooer upper.

Hi Jagnut, it's hardwood, Oak. It's nice and strong. After some front suspension squeeking, I put the grease gun to good use topping up the lubricant.

Re: 57 Saloon, rotten!
great resto project Pete, you'll have to update the thread title as there's not a spot of rot to see now. Keep up the posts they are fascinating and a real inspiration for those of us that want another project.

Re: Pickup restoration part three
Yes, I may well need to place the lifting block back in use before long Bob. But the great news today is... Alice passed her MOT, with just three advisories, easy fix's, except the engine oil leak, chuffed, can drive her again. http://i68.tinypic.com/rwhohz.jpg ready to go out for a spin. Once the h...
