A was for Austin, but now B is for Bedford

Cool truck.

The driver even gets a bucket seat!

Flash upholstery too.

Surely that charabang needs a steering wheel.

Nice seating for the gentry, cheap tub/bucket seat for the chauffeur, and steering by wishful thinking.

Bet you can't guess the engine though . . .

PS The yellow tongue sheeting was some surplus I picked up very cheap and has been standing against the wall for about four months, they made a nice solid floor over the planks that were previously used as an instant shelf for odds and sods on the chassis.

PPS DOES ANYONE NEED A VERY GOOD M TYPE BEDFORD CHASSIS?

I thought of a Charabanc as well. All you need are sides up to waist height around it. My guess for engine is a Badphid.

Can you get Wifey to change the date of the booking? I recently missed a good swapmeet only five blocks from my place to go to Dragon-In-Law's nintyth Birthday lunch. I was pissed off to find that her Husband was not there he went to a target shooting day instead

Morris.

Very relaxing weekend - and did not visit any wrecking yards or swap meets. Relaxing provided I don't include the 1-2 hour walk with dog in Bel Air National Park. Too late for date changes Morris but I was left in peace for a day and a half - one should be grateful for small mercies. :whistle:

Called in on a mate and analysed a fuel pump issue on his Series 1 Landrover. While there also checked the wiper set up on his Austin 245F.

Returned home to find the wheel dollies had been delivered already . . . ordered on the 26th, dispatched on the 27th from Melbourne, and delivered in Crystal Brook at 9:30 on the 29th. Bloody amazing, particularly as they said to expect delivery by the 4th or 5th. Not unwrapped them yet but will include a picture on here when I have done so . . .

The Clampett's never had a Jeep engine in their vehicle, not as much ooomph as the Munster Coach though. :S

May, June, July . . .

I AM still alive.

Things are happening, but to look at it's not really apparent so I simply haven't made any comments. Less dribble for you lot to read I guess? :blush:

Well as long as your making progress thats all that really matters

I think playing around with our toys is a bit like building a house, it gets to lock up stage pretty quick, but the house isnt even half built at that stage and the rest no one even notices

That old saying about vehicle restorations "The last 10% takes 90% of the time."

I have often been in the situation where you think you can see the light at the end of the tunnel only to find out it's another train comming.
Bat on PDU.
