Richard Farrant Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Very nice job Clifford, a lot of work involved in that body. One question though, I notice there was no transmission brake fitted on the "before" shot, how was that provided for? Unless it different rear brake set up perhaps..:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Great work. I like the fact you resatored it to its post war condition with the closed body. Guess a lot of people would reverted it back to WW2 guise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Johns Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) similar............ Not quite, Cliff's woody is an English coachbuilt body built on a lengthened mb chassis, your pic is of a post war Willys Overland steel body station wagon, the worlds first mass produced 4wd station wagon/estate car, built some twenty odd years before the Range rover Edited February 16, 2013 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Ashby Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) hello, this has jeep trailor rear brake back plates on the rear brakes!! clifford Now that's clever, like Richard I noticed the lack of a brake band but assumed it had rotted off or just plain been removed. There used to be a grey woodie very similar to yours running around the Newbury area in the 60's and early 70's it always used to turn up on market day as I remember. Very nice job Cliff particularly impressed with the work that has gone into re-creating the body and roof wood work...... I take it it's all Ash ?
