I think the only way would to change your email at the same time.
Then you would be like signing up for the first time.
I think if you try with the same email it says your already a member.
Just guessing on all of this -
I would write to one of the moderators - may be they can help,

Alan may I say that unless you have woodworking skills and a good set of correct tools you would save yourself a lot of frustration,fruitless searches etc by just slowing down and saving for professionally made woodwork.It'll look better too.Christmas is coming(god forbid),tell your nearest and dearest you don't need a reindeer jumper or any socks this year.

Anna will not like it if i spend much money, we send money home every month for our familys to help them, and I am studying also Anna is studying and we have one boy now and another boy will be born at christmas time.

But you are right it would be nice to buy new both door posts need the wood repairing also but the artches are good both sides.


Thank you
Alan

We could send you all our socks and jumpers and you could have a boot sale and raise the money for the wood?

That was the closest i can find in my book.
Thank you for the date.
I looked in the engine compartment.
There was nothing that looked like a CAB number.
Where is this number located? - i have the van in my garage now.
I did not see it in a past post.

On a thin plate at the top of the n/s - LHD drivers' side firewall.

Will begin Z27253 C66***

Now i have easy access to work on it with out driving 60 miles one way.
I hope to make a little faster progress.
I am trying to get it on the road before the end of the year.
It was at the shop making custom adapters brackets for the E brake.
I put MG midget brakes in the back the E brake pull is higher then the stock one.

I finally got the truck home. I have been in Fairbanks, AK freezing my rear off.

The only thing i can read on the tag is the Z27253 the other side of the tag is covered with to much paint.

At least i remember to look - sorry i could not help more.

There was no engine or transmission when i bought the van.
I was told the transmission was shot and the original motor was stuck.
So the previous owner scrapped them.
I put a 1970's MG midget 1275 motor, rib cage and 4.22 rear gears in the van.
The vehicle was pretty beat when i got it.
I started at the bottom and rebuilt every thing from the ground up.
I am just finishing the brake lines, fuel line and masters for brakes and hydraulics.
Then i hope to start driving it as my daily transportation.
