ajmac Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) A friend has asked me to post a question concerning his QLT restoration. This week he has started stripping the rear body frame and around the forward access doors the frame has rotted to such an extent that photos of another QLT are required to see what needs fabricating. I have attached a photo showing the original rear body frame stripped down, this photo is taken from the rear tail gate end....at least I think they are as I've never seen a complete original QLT! Any photos you could post or mail or info on an original we could look at in or around Lincolnshire would be great.

simon king Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Any photos you could post or mail or info on an original we could look at in or around Lincolnshire would be great. There was one at Quorn last weekend and another (or perhaps the same one) at Butterley the weekend before. perhaps the organisers could put you in touch with the owner(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_bish Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 wow that needs some work! A way of sorting this might be to find some scale model plans and scale them up. Mike Church or Geoff Lacey I think did plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmac Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks to HMVF my friend made a visit to measure up a trooper body and has made big progress building the back body to which all the hard to find fixtures and fitting will be attached once blasted and painted. He was very fortunate to locate and purchase a complete QLT body last year but the corrosion was too severe to save any of the main load bearing structure. Luckily is contained all the original seat frames, side panels etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
