My Crew-cab restoration 'Crewie'

The Mexican engines had smaller valves, I'd go for the 34's.

 

If anyone can help out with this:

Crew cab - cab door view please for resto

It is what the step should look like.

 

Other side is nearly finished! Welding and MOT by the end of this month. Suspension in March, interior in April, cruzin' by May

 

ok, so i've not been here a while...but work has progressed quite nicely

All welding complete (except chassis notching)
Twin carbs fitted
New vintage speed exhaust fitted
Initial paint to cover the welding

Let me know if you can see these low res pics. I will post some of the high res when I get them.

New suspension should be complete by monday/tuesday...

 

Pics in the link show on my phone

 

I'm considering leaving the bodywork as is and not having the welds ground down and filled. It looks quite 'commercial'. I would like to age the paint a little. Although not quite sure how.

 

Before


After

I'm over the moon with the result, and it drives so well.

So at least it fits in the garage!!

 

looks great love it

 

That looks too nice to leave the welds on show

 

I know, I'm a bit torn, although the gates are in a terrible state so rust will come through on them.
I think I'll dull the shine for now. When I have the funds i may get the bodywork done.

Interior next!!!

 

Fantastic - well done. Love the picture of your vans together

 

very nice stance

 

Really cool man!! Can you tell me how you have lowered the rear?

 

Adjustable spring plates from T2D

 

Do you know where I can get a cab door seal? or do I need to make one?

 

Do you mean a rear cab door seal?
Maybe try custom and commercial or @davidoft may have one.

 

Try ah Schofields , I think they are the same as split screen van side doors

 

you might need to make a couple of cuts to the barn door seals. the one on my crewcab seems to be one that was made up (cut at top and bottom) maybe it was a bit big or something. I didnt fit it so not sure.. i just re-used it

 

Interior is currently being made by Bernard and Louis Newbury. No pics to share yet. Very excited!!! Should have some pics very soon as it will have been there two weeks on Monday (although with bank holidays and VooWoo show he said it may be a couple of weeks or so before anything resembling an interior can be shown).
