    Next thing was Xmas and my nice new MCJ steering wheel arrived just in time :thumbsup:

    I think I'll probably leave the rest of the cab original because it looks right - the driver's seat has a bit of a bounce to it, so that will need some refurbishment at some time.

    So, a couple of weeks and a trip to Devizes to pick up the new covers:

    And I now have a spare bedroom with 2 new front arches, 2 inner sills, engine lid, 2 floor repair panels, and a 2nd hand locker lid. I would be surprised if that's all I need :(

  6. Wow you did it this time. It's perfect, I'd have a hard time putting "logs" in the back , but if thats what keeps it in your garage, then a few logs it would be. LOL

    No, because I'm planning to camp - I'm not sure when it will make it's first public appearance - Tatton for sure. I think I'll put it in the show and shine at Tatton :)

  12. I like it lots,I love the mirrors.:thumbsup:
     
  13. Very nice :cool:
     
  14. there is more room on that bed than in the back of a camper. Stick an inflatable bed on there and you're away. That tilt cover looks nice and strong and should keep the elements at bay.

    Lightweight :rolleyes:

    Cool pick up, I love that colour on a commercial! Looking forward to the updates - although the pics don't make it look too bad at all! :thumbsup:

    Did smile at the log comment on another thread - guess what our pick up is actually going to be used for! ..... It has to be done! :D
