Looks smashing! The extras really finish off our trucks.

I'm not sure what the bracket is for, I'm sure Rippo will pop in and tell us though.

I too need to make some hoops. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on?:-D

What is actually wrong with your gas pipe ones? :cool2:

Ricochet from a German bullet would make a better story;)

This one would look realy good behind an MW with its smaller wheels & lower profile

Now there's a thought. If only you could find someone who's currently restoring one not too far from you......

very nice work, I look forward to the completion of renovations, see you next year in Normandy?

regards

Thanks Tom. I dont think I'll make Normandy sadly:(

That's really coming together and looking good I'll have to call by soon to take dims of everything I need to get my cab floor moving :cool2: wing nut patterns are on their way t'foundry :-D you'll probably need them sooner than I :laugh:

 

RR.

Great stuff, you efforts on the remanufacture front is much appreciated. I reckon your project will catch up with mine the way you are going!

Nice.! You must have a sixth sense for these things!

Although publised as such, the Bedford MW is in fact an OY with a fire engine body built from the scuttle back, it has large curved windscreens, and looks rather 'different'.

Nice addition. It's amazing whats still out there.

I'm still at it! Petrol tanks are in, bit more painting done. A few more odds and ends stripped and primed.

Great pics, look very authentic.

I would love to see some more shots of your lovely MW:-D

Looking good!

Hello Gerry, just for you a few pics Ive got so many pics its a job to know what to put on, but i am sure they will help some one.

Personally I love to see plenty of pics. Its gives the rest of us some inspiration!

That is gonna be one nice truck!

Well done, excellent job as with the brackets!

I don't want to open a can of worms but does anyone have experience or advice on carrying passengers in the rear of trucks that didnt originaly have seating in the rear body?. How do you stand legally and with insurance for instance? I have thought of making some bench seats for the MW that 'look right', what are peoples thoughts?

Sump is now back on. Looks like I need a replacement water pump, so more saving up:cry: In the mean time I have stripped the seats and fuel tanks.

:D Need I say more?

Done it! Thanks all, I think I'll turn the truck upside down if I ever need to take it off again:wow:.

Thanks all, I am going to have another go tomorrow. Funny enought the cork strips do seem a little wide so maybe I will trim them down a bit. I'll let you know how I got on.:undecided:

OK, before I really lose the plot. Any advice on re-fitting the sump, how do I get the two strips of cork to stay in place at each end of the sump? I can only think of some instant glue??? The handbook makes it sound so easy.:banghead:

Norman Aishe - Bygone Bedford Bits will have 'em.

I'm havin trouble with photobucket so no pics. I dropped the sump off today and was pleasantly surprised, all clean - no sludge!

Hi there,

I would really appreciate the heads up on what will / may be available and rent price etc when you know anything.

Will PM

Thanks

Paul

Brother and I had a few hours fiddling this afternoon and got her firing up again. She makes quite a noise with no exhaust! A bit of fettling and tinkering to do but we are heading in the right direction.:-D
