Ian L Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi Ian, I still have a K% for sale up on milweb at the moment, looks like condition is porbably less rusty than yours ! Are you coming to Holland in September ? Andy Hi Andy every K5 out there is less rusty than mine :undecided: I did consider buying yours if it was better condition but the missing cab roof is a bit of a problem in the short term although one could be fabricated. Holland yes mate, 5 of us are planning to take the K5 with water bowser & C8 with 20cwt trailer.:drive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian L Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Finished the fabrication & welding today, just left to fill/paint so I can get her back on the road for Easter weekend. The rusty wing can wait for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reebo4624 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Next job was to fabricate a new door step/sill, bit of a tricky job to fit but 2 hours later I had a sill so tomorrow I can repair the inner step & wheel arch before fitting the new panel. Another quality fabrication there Mr. L;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy66 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Looks really good Ian, and now the beach stencils? My Bedford is almost ready, still have to change the engine oil and some camouflage on one side of the tarpaulin. The Triumph 3hw had also some service but now I have to find a simple way to get it in to the rear cargo, it is high....:help: Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian L Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) She's been off the road since War & Peace last year with a unserviceable cylinder head & badly leaking water pump but thanks to John Walker who found a N.O.S head & valves and my mate Chris who gave me a N.O.S water pump she's up and running again today and looking great in MOWOG green, just in time for the final W&P. Good job I decided to change all the fluids as the gearbox was full of water, due to a missing bolt on the top of the gearbox the rain water had run down the rear of the cab for the past 11 months and slowly filled the box with water.
