looks good Ricardo, have fun in Guernsey.

good quality 20w/50 classic motor oil works best, such as the comma or morris etc, will help keep good pressure even on very long motor way trips.

maybe some tinkering is required! tee hee:-D

I've learned something helping rcubed during this project. I am really glad Chevy 1 1/2 tonners have closed cabs, because open cabs are a bl##dy nightmare!!!

 

:banghead: :angry

 

 

:drive:

have you tried fitting your doors since welding the cab?:cool2:

Its strange the things I lay awake at night worrying about.............

Does anyone know roughly how many MBs and GPWs still exist worldwide? Restored, unrestored, whatever, any thoughts?

I should be down the pub really

you should be in the shed working!

looks good, how many days until the ferry?

This has probably been covered many times before, but......

 

The 110's in the Withams auction? Generally good, or generally bad? Would obviously require a visit to check one out...do they normally go for the guide price, or is it worth a punt and placing a bid lower than the guide?

Just how easy is it to get one of these registered, is it quick and cheap? Are there any gotchas when getting them registered?

 

Thanks,

 

Mick

We have worked on some of the 110's from Withams, lets say they were in need of attention all round. cant think why the military got rid of them!

I was taught to pump the pedal 50 times before going anywhere, this will get the bands moving and ready for work, makes gear selection easier and smoother.

always had trouble getting first gear until i was shown this.

R, Have'nt you finished that simple little five minute job yet?

 

he's going for the 5.......no sorry 10 year restoration like you! :cool2:

I Have just replaced my M20 clutch with a modern clutch set up (wet plates i.e no need to worry about oil ingress), works very well and very easy to put together, the parts are well made would highly recommend it, i ran the same plates in my Indian and it transformed the ride.

Keep em working, spent the other weekend collecting pheasant feeders from the shoot, using a jeep doesn't tear up the ground, although it does grunt with 5 drums full of wheat in the trailer!

here you go paul, took the liberty of taking a snap!

One picture shows a bit of the crankcase that we found! with a drive gearbox (still intact!) the other pictures is the hole but it does not do it justice, can comfortably get my hand into the block now!!:shake:
