Custom Pickup Restoration

Still struggling to decide paint colour (need to get engine bay sprayed) but thought I would post a couple of pics of my Pickup so far. Now sporting a 3L Capri rear axle....1275 Midget engine shouldn't break it![frame]

Blimey, that will need some wide arches then

Looking good though. Have a look at VW Aqua blue, its a metalic , and Black violet also a VW colour.

Wide arches indeed! Not a great picture in the sun but it will need some Big Boy Fenders I think![frame]

big old engine bays arn't they, loads of space.

I can't quite believe how nicely the old Fiat 2L TC fits....probably lose my knuckles when I try to fit a radiator. I've seen a Pug 206 and Marina 1800 rad fitted so will have to start researching that next.

Nice project, superb wheel choice

I used a Pug 205 diesel rad with my twin cam Morris, £40 new

A few of my latest pictures.

Lowered 3" and Chevy rear arches cut down to size. Chassis lengthened 8".

Oh no

you've went and done one of the things I was hoping to do with my moggy!

Oh well, at least it gives me an idea of how it will look. I really like your pickup though. If you ever get bored of the project let me know. I've got to the stage with mine that I could literally scrap it and buy something like you have there!

Get some more updates sorted soon!

Cheers, I'll let you know when the boredom sets in! Too busy planning the next stages at the moment.

Hi there,

That's a great build you've got going on. I am also restoring a Moggy Pick-Up and I'm putting an Austin A40 Pick-Up bed on the back. However I just have the panels and no floor section.

How are you attaching your bed to the chassis? Any piccies would be a great help.

Cheers,

Doug D'G.

I'll take some pictures for you this weekend if the weather picks up.
