fv1609 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Toby is there something wrong with it that you need this help? But if you need servicing help you need the proper books & another day spent down here I think & we'll go through basic Humbery tasks! Not sure what you feel needs restoring. If its scabby paintwork, not to worry as in service it would have been repeatedly painted to cover paint thrown at it. But if you want to remove all that then the best way is a needle gun & a compressor that can handle it. But I would direct your energies & money to the servicing of it first rather than fancy paint jobs. (I haven't forgotten the battery boxes, these may be available this month) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Any specific problems aside the Humber is fairly straight forward to get in a nice condition just needs love and a bit of time ! I would expect a professional restoration would be rather expensive due to the man hours required having to be paid for in cash rather than "love"! Anything I can help with please feel free to ask mate ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive is quite right about the books and they are invaluable to develop that learning further. The correct EMER's and a Parts Catalogue is a must.

fv1609 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Toby, Andy is too modest to mention this, but he got the prize at W&P 2010 for Best Humber 1-Ton in terms of originality and servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
