minidaffy Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Hi I thought i would post up some pictures of my austin k9 restoration.. This is how it looked when i got it!! One side of the cab has allready been welded up! The turret has been bodged with a plate glued over it!! Random picture of the built in tyre pump!! T i dont want to bore you with endless picture of welding, so heres a couple of the passenger door repairs. This is how she sits at the moment.. i currently have the cylinder head off being skimmed, as it is pressurising the water system, I put the front panels on loosely as i have never seen it complete! bit of a moral boost!

Ex-boy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Nice to see one of my favourite vehicles being saved, I always thought they were the best one tonner by miles. I just wish I had the wherewithal to do one myself, so thank you for all your great work Best wishes and good luck. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferret1958uk Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Keep the pictures flooding in: Especially the boring ones of welding. They all make me miss my old K9 even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
