today more nuckle scraping and the cab rear panel came free.<br><br>

Matt, your're a very kind human being, can we leave it. My shedule for the next couple of months is mad. Thanks for the offer mate, please don't be offended.

Here's a shot that just goes to show, I've got a weldathon this year<br><br>

Ok matt understood, when are you next in SUSSEX, maybe we could arrange a meet up and I could give them a good home.

Oh yes, I'll be looking for a replacement chassis this summer, and loads of other bits, here comes summer and auto jumble time!

That door was totally nackered, so off it came. I'm starting to see the picture more clearly now, with so much metal gone, Its clearer what's rusted away.<br><br>

mind you that cut edge is razor sharp, but the bolts are easy to get at now. Can anyone reasure me that wings and doors of pickups are standard, same as the saloon/traveller?<br><br>

Is that a Naval 5 inch gun leyther? looks like its come from a WW2 Flower Class Corvette. Anyway, back to work on the old Pickup, wing removal must be a doddle compared with fitting replacements.<br><br>

several options there, thanks Les. J sorry to let you down, theres not going to be any reving up and burning rubber at the traffic lights here, I'm putting things back to how they were. Well, thats the plan. plain and simple 50 miles an hour, where everyone knows you're a slow classic so why bother ...

safely stored in the garage awaiting restoration.<br><br>

looks very prosaic without the rear bed on it<br><br>

Today the bed came free, after much scraping of knuckles the last rusted bolt came out, with a screech of metal the sides slide out from between the cab rear panel and the boxed section rear door frame.<br><br>

and the exposed side when fitted.<br><br>

Hi mrsnak, here's a shot of my rather rusty one<br><br>

you know when you go passed some guys drive and theres a neat little secret package wrapped up patiently waiting. Well I realise now its nothing to do with keeping a secret, its about preserving good relations with your family and neighbours. I make it a point to sweep up, tidy away and wrap the car...

Matt you're a gentleman. Could you keep hold of them for me, I've got such a long way to go before I can even think about wings, maybe I should drink some red bull, Thanks for the offer. I finally got the engine-gearbox clear. I'd better stop now as its a sunday,give the neighbours some peace.<br> h...

here's a shot showing the edge of the bell housing coming under the forward edge below the dash. after removing the prop shaft. The shaft just pulled off the splines at the gearbox end, but the bolts at the diff end had to be cut off as they had rusted in. Once ive got the heavy components out I can...

Gents, these are very inspiring and practical help images, many thanks. I see the value of getting a replacement chassis early on. I can see the need for that prior to starting repair work on my rusty cab bottom areas. Tonight I have been removing the engine and gearbox,they have dropped to the grou...

Les your pictures are great too, many thanks, I see the gearbox cover cowling was removed, I was going to keep that in place to leave some floor strength till I could get some new metal in there.
Don't worry about the resizing, big is good from my point of view.

Jonathon, I will be returning to these images time and again, thanks for putting them up they will be very helpful. great to see some of the repair sections that are available, like the bottom of the boxed section. I understand the seat ankor points are not supplied fitted to floor panels, so I'll b...
