  2. Everything is fine, life has been busy but good ,moving house building  new storage for the MW,  I now have the complete collection at home to work and play with.😎

    Now the resto of the Bedford is finished apart from routine maintenance there's nowt much to post, planning on taking the Jeep to Normandy next June now I've rebuilt a  spare engine for it and I've still got the 43 M20 to restore which now most of the mechanicals are sorted just needs to be stripped down for paint.

    I'm not planning any more major resto projects as I want to have the time to enjoy what I  have rather than spend all my spare time int shed.

  5. A long but very rewarding day that started at 5.30 am with a trip up to the Dallas dig out then on to the vintage/ 4x4 sale at the Newbury showground where this little gem fell into my possession

  6. I have two 1940 dated jacks both had original light green paint underneath dark olive drab, the green original paint looks the Same shade as Morris commercial engine paint ( there is a crazy expensive one on evil pay at the mo ) as I didn't like that colour I've gone for Morris minor engine green enamel

    Traces of the original green paint can be seen on my spare jack this will be left in its original condition.

    I've had a number of these jacks non of them were black. 

  7. An enjoyable afternoon spent tinkering with the MW repainted one of the jacks and replaced the old shovel with a 39 dated example and swapped out the wire cutter for a pair of 1940 ones.
