Hello all

I'm in the process of buying an imported (France) 43 MB and would like to check the identity number against the documentation. Where is it located?

Gentlemen I need help locating bits again.

Firstly classic style Radiater hose of various sizes by the half meter or meter

Secondly I need two brass 5/16 fuel taps but don't want to pay £30 each for them!

All help as always gratefully rreceived

Thanks Willy, perfect

Hi all, does anyone know where I can buy one inch webbing by the meter or a role of it.

Hi Jules, it's an older restoration (1980) although the body and cab were never removed so the chassis was covered in crud dried grease and god knows how many coats of brush applied paint. The cab is reasonably tidy although some welding required and again the brush applied paint to cut through. The rear body needs some work and new timber throughout. Also while cab and body off new fuel and brake lines and new wiring will be fitted. Also a nasty case of wheel shudder to resolve.

Anyone used the two part epoxy systems?

So the Morris c8 is stripped down to chassis, steam cleaned and shot blasted where nesasary . The chassis is extraordinarily rust free and all fastening came undone ! What have you used to paint your chassis with and do you recommend?

Is it me or is the price guide in cmv completely distorted? Basing vehicle pricing on that months asking prices is madness. Surely it would make more sense to base it on the previous twelve months? I'm shure that the astonishing rise in vehicle values is in great part due to this, especially jeep prices.

thoughts?

A lovely truck

Driving comfort fine, and now I've removed the wiper motor I can now see out of the windscreen ! Also in the event of a shunt it won't imprint on my forehead

I shall Tony, im near Rye in East Sussex btw

Thanks guys , I do like helpful people! I will be having a good look at war and peace to see what's on offer. Although everyone seems to add about 20% to the asking price of vehicles there.

Thanks goran, I would prefer winch I think but would buy on overall condition rather than just winch. Are there any common issues I should be aware of?

Thanks Gordon. Think command car is out of my reach but would happily go an ambulance. Presume the ambulances make a nice camper to?

So feel its time to enlarge the collection and I can't help it I just have to have a weopans carrier! What do I need to look out for and what are the pros and cons of ownership? And does anyone know of any really good ones on the market?

cheers all

So I just couldn't stand the modern plastic indicators and stop tail lights any more. So where to purchase a pair of red trumpet lights and a pair of clear? Well after some ringing around how about mr banister on a farm in Northiam about half a mile from my door! Nos complete units for £25 each in original boxes and grease proof paper. I had no idea he was there and held such enormous stocks of b series engines and British post war spares. He also fitted me out for very reasonable cost with a carb rebuild kit and a spotlight bracket and also nos red and yellow light covers for dash panel for £5 each! I have seen them on eBay make £18

so new lights fitted and some indicator bulbs painted orange and as always a fair degree of faff but champ looks so much better for it.

Well good day to you all, been meaning to join for a while but now finally got round to it. I own an Austin champ which is my main run around for weekends and can often be seen around the roads of east Sussex and Kent. Can also ocaisionally be seen at side of road broken down as suffers from fuel vapourization on hot days, must deal with that. I also have a 1939 dodge vf32 airfield fire tender which has been much modified over its period in service with the eigth us air force and was released in the 90s. Just getting vehicles ready for w and p which fortunately is only a few miles from me.
