It could just be the photo, but, that engine fan looks to be on back to front.

Hi guys,
Yes it appears that in my haste to fit the fan a few weeks ago, I fitted it in what I thought was the right way (as it fitted around the water pump nicely) but having seen the last few eagle eyed comments, I went up to the paddock and checked on the donor truck, only to find that mine was inside out
been rectified now though, so thanks to those who spotted the deliberate mistake
Bluey, I have contacted Dutchy, but he only does the flying A sign. Your truck is a late 50 early 60 model I'm guessing, which is when they changed the bonnet badge, so he's going to look at pricing up a run of just AUSTIN mudflaps in a design similar to my bonnet badge.'
Fill, I'll try and upload a picture of my basic rear guards.
The timber bearers have been removed and stained this week and what a difference some light oiling makes. Its really darken my merbau timber

Hi Claire, doing a great job there looks great, very impressive & inspirational.
Can you tell me what timber you used for the tray & did you cut these yourself using the old boards as patterns.
What oil stain did you use?
Watching with great interest
cheers
Pierre
