This is an old project it’s bean in my workshop for about 7 years now ! one day I’ll pull it out and finish it,
It came to us like this ! looked rough but under the surface rust and muck there was a very solid little motor,
Bakes & Axles
The brakes were rebuilt with new cylinder and shoes new swivel seals and leather gaiters
Bulkhead
The Bulkhead was very dirty after some cleaning and a new drip catcher under back edge of bonnet
Chassis
Lots of cleaning and painting the galv chassis painted black New exhaust fitted,

Engine Bay
More cleaning and painting it’s hard to see here but this engine is a military Recon, Fitted new clutch before refitting engine,
Front Grill
As usual the grill was corroded
So stripped it of to frame and made some new panels,
Rear Tub
The rear tub was quite good just needed cleaning and painting
Body Work
Little bit more work done on building body work
