Re: Organising a full strip and rebuild

My advice is buy a shed, as you will soon fill it with interior and running gear, glass, chrome etc... amazing how much space, storage you need when dismantling a car ! good luck and always stay positive as you will always hit lows in any project!

Re: BT van rebuild

Superb welding and repair work! Nice repairs and no patching up, like how you make panels and not overlapping them onto the old metal and grind them flush and smooth... really good and nice to see another Bt van saved :)

Re: K reg austin morris pickup

Its most probably a 1098 engine, its sounds like a late vehicle with ignition key not below the speedo etc... rust is the money pit issue esp if you cant tackle the resto work yourself ie welding and painting is the most labour intensive part of a restoration... any documents with the pickup, if not...
