again thanks so much, would it be better to fit the van body work onto a chassis or does it make no difference. I just need to get the cash together to buy all the panels.


cheers

Just wondered can you get repair panels for the roof edges, or for the rear above the doors.

hi all, Im after advice on how to approach the restoration on the roof of my van, the van has had almost all the rain channels removed and pieces have been rivited in to rejoin the roof. so should i take the top roof section off and repair the top of the body sides all around then deal with the roof...

thanks everyone, I took the car back today and they found that the alternator was faulty, don't know how it failed. I was wondering if it could have anything to do with the other garage i took the car to about a week afterwards to get an Accuspark dizzy fitted?? They fitted one, but it wouldn't run ...

Thanks for that, The alternator was fitted buy Nacton Auto electrics in ipswich. they are very good and have done loads of work for me in the past, So I shall call them tomorrow & arrange for them to look at it.

Thanks again

Hi, Not sure if anyone can help, But my ign light is on but I don’t even have the keys in the Ignition. it starts and runs ok. I have fairly recently had an Alternator fitted and they replaced the relay box with a dummy one that has no internals. But the pick-up has ran perfect since them. Hope some...

I presume I could put bucket and engine in the pickup and still be able to tow the digger.

Nick

(I have the army version of the digger). I can only just lift the engine etc. so that should lighten the digger enough. Thanks for th...

Hi all Thanks for all your replies. Been away for weekend to the Brighton speed trials supporting a friend that was racing. My pickup is a 1098cc from 1971. It has brake servo and front disc brakes. The towable digger has no trailer photo below. Going buy all your replies it’s not looking likely I’l...

I’ve been using my Pickup now for a few months & I love it. I drive it almost every day for work purposes. I only have one issue that I hope someone can help me with. I think I need a bigger engine. The reason is I have just purchased a PowerFab 125wt (British army version) towable digger. The d...
