Anyway. We found this tucked away in a barn locally to us here in brightwater Nelson nz. Being ex pats from the uk we love all things old and English, naturally.
So we got it back to our place. Slung it in te barn and started to collect bits to restore it.
We then piled up a van cab for next to nothing. As the pickup has had a naff sunroof fitted, and the floor panels are rotten. We decided to start with a fresh cab. This one is not perfect but it is in better nick.
Then I found it had a fibre glass cab back on it. Nothing against fibre glass but I hate getting the stuff in my hands when fibre glassing so I went on a hunt for a tin cab back.
I found one in rough condition. So I bought it. It was on the north island and it cost lots to get it here but it's done now. I should learn to not look once I have what I want because there is a couple of them on trademe now. [Don't swear or you will be banned - Admin] ah well. And so it began. I kicked my DONT SWEAR OR YOU WILL BE BANNED into gear on Friday night and got the can in the workshop. In front of my brothers 4 door restoration. And started to fettle and tinker.[frame]
