russell sprout Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi, It seems as if there are quite a few of us carrying out Matador restorations. I'm about to start work on my rotten cab too so was just wondering if anyone in the same position would be keen to combine our individual efforts to hopefully reduce costs and make the projects easier by looking towards forming a collective order of new timber cab frames and laser cut panels? If anyone is interested then please PM me and we can take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 There is one problem with the Matador cabs , AEC made only the chassis and the floor for the cab , including the 2 front panels, the rest was done by several carpenter companies, who got a bag with the metal bits per vehicle , so if the cab is not from the same company the doors are not interchangeable between cabs , nor is the rest . there were also different cabs , post war ones with insulation , and split cabs , like mine . Hope this helps . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
