You can't compare it with the restoration of a Jeep. Hi Arjan, I know, I make few restorations Jeeps MB..... Tilly is wood and tin, tin and wood, my problem is missing parts or completely destroyed parts, and I finished the rear fenders and make new side tin boxes.

Hi Arjan, not, but see, this items is for sale on e-bay I want to keep as many original parts, it is not easy, floorboards remained the original, only three boards are new, Thank you for your interest regards Higgins Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for sending me the pictures Tom. I notice that some rear side locker lids are wooden and some (Like mine) are metal. Anyone know when this change took place? I also wonder what this thing is that is screwed inside my N/S lid? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
