I had some fibreglass kits in the lock-up, so could matt over the worst of it & fill it again, but I won't be happy with it & it'd probably crack with the bumpy vibration of driving.
I don't have the facilities to repair this. I need to have a word with Mr Loon, call in the last of my favours & add some cash & see if he can salvage it by cutting out the worst bits & adding some fresh steel, then painting it for me.

I'd like to run the steel bed again, but think it'll be back to Plan B -the temporary wooden bed, to start with.

I do quite like the wooden one -looks a little sportier to me.

Plan C.
I'd still love to run it as a bare chassis with no bed at all, but appreciate it'd be too light -but I could add a 3mm steel plate to hold the oval fuel tank behind the cab. In either case, I'd need brackets for the handbrake cables & lights too.

Yes. Were they your clips Tel?
Clive, I'm not sure I've seen that one before! Not the one I was thinking of though. There's another that must've been taken moments before that, as we were turning out of Battersea Park & towards the bridge. I can't find it anywhere.
Yes they are. I think this was its first run under its own power. cant find the one that I took on a evening do. the guys from ? yea cant remember them.  came over to get it running for the first time. |

Right, in a bid to get this thing done in time for some sunshine driving this year, I've just arranged to take the doors over to FaceBook friend Ifan, of Miller's Speed Shop in Cardiff. I'll need to rent a small van, (I struggle to fit a carrier bag in my little Ford KA), but hope to drop them off, with a long list of modifications, before the end of the week.
Ifan runs a supercharged Daimler engined model Y Ford.
