Lmortimer334 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Good morning all, We have recently gained Leyland Hippo MK2 VSU334 into our collection of vehicles. We require 2 front wheel arches to complete the vehicle would anyone know of any for sale or on redundant scrap vehicles? Additionally we are also on the hunt for a canvas roof for it, knowing that it is unlikely that there will be any "spare" where would you suggest the best place to get a new one made? Kind Regards Lawrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmortimer334 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 On the contrary, the previous owner whom we have just purchased the vehicle from has spent a lot of time and money on the vehicle. The wooden bed has been completely replaced along with many of the rotten panels and cab structure. Apart from the last couple of panels, inspection hatches and windows the vehicle is ready for paint and shown on the rally field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1950 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Someone has spent a lot of time and Money on that truck since it left Wolverhampton. Full credit to whoever it was for saving a now good example that needs finishing. Getting it on the right rubber is going to be expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmortimer334 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 We have another complete set of hubs and tyres which are the correct spec for having double wheels on the rear axle which came with the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
