Good lad. I've got a really nice cloth mk5 drivers seat with lumber pump and twin armrests if he wants it free to get him started? I can get it to London at the end of February if that helps? Or he can come and pick it up from my house

Thank you for the offer for the seat and I'll pick it up from London at the end of February or someone else will pick it up for me, thank you for the seat. Really appriciated

I wonder who that will be ??

Thanks Frank that's brilliant, thou I would have preferred a road trip to pick it from your gaff.

And the sooner he cracks on with his project, the better. I saw the way he was eyeing up my van at Mania
I'd wait til it warms up a bit before coming down here Monty. Its very green but not so pleasant when its cold down this way

MM and Gaz took the back body off a couple of weeks ago ( I will post pics as soon as I can ) and the chassis is real good order. A couple of 6 inch repairs will see it spot on. Just need to get the interior out to see what the cab floor is like. Engine doesn't run yet, but again that looks to be an easy fix ( even for us ).
Just need a flareside body and a few of dieselhead tims panels and I think we will be nearly there.

I was just about to complain at the lack of pics!

But I'll let you off as long as they don't take as long as the TM6 photos to arrive

[BigMonty]

The strip down has started.
Mr RVM and MM took the old back body off on his last visit. The chassis is in very good order, a couple of repairs in the usual places and it should be all good for the back end.

Hundreds matey. Seed crates and apple boxes. We sell loads. Repros ( personalised ) and originals.

[Punto443]

We like pics looking forward to seeing the progress

Not quite sure. Getting it structurally solid first, then see where we are at. Looking fir a flareside rear body at the moment.

Middle Monty has been on clean up duty. Now we need to know what to replace cab wise.
So its step sill arch and wing.
Question is: Shall we cut it all out or do parts at a time?
