I am in the process of restoring a 1970 pickup, discovered having been in a dry garage for 18+ years.(done only 43k with supporting docs)
All going to plan at present. I'm sure that I will need more advice later, but in the meantime can anyone suggest where I can get a replacement hood made. I have the one found with the vehicle but it is very dirty and a little 'tender' in places.
All the 'hoops' are ok.
Alternatively what is the best way to clean the existing canvas hood?

Re: Pickup restoration
Don't bother with second hand rubbish.
Go to Comptons.
Get one made by the experts as featured in many Minor articles.
enquiries@comptons2000.co.uk
The price for the full cover including all straps and buckels is £250.00 plus a £15.00 carriage.
And the cost of the tonneau is £125.00
Both are really well made and fit really well.
I have just purchased both. (Had a bit of a wait due to a huge MOD order but I was very happy with the result!!)
