[RussLCV]

Well finally BMF my Austin 1970 pick drives, its been some time since it rolled but now it drives and stops, its equipped with a 1275cc Midget motor, gearbox & dif[frame][/frame]



Midget has provided the disc brakes with a new remote servo, it goes well in reverse too[frame][/frame]

Did it pass its MOT Russ? No seriously it's always good to hear the engine firing up and moving under it own steam. What colour are you going for?

[RussLCV]

its all painted on the inside its Titian Beige an old BMC Mini colour, bonnet cab, engine bay and doors![frame][/frame]

That's a nice colour and an unusual choice too. It looks very similiar to Savannah Beige on my old VW Camper. A really good retro colour in my opinion. Have you got a colour scheme for the tilt? My van is Willow Green (a Mini colour) and my pick up is Teal Blue. Look forward to seeing the ongoing progress.

Tilt I have 2, a new beige tilt and a restored original but I have coloured in chocolate brown................so that may look good in the cab is black leather seats and red belts and red carpets with black door panels with a red and black steering wheel

Engine bay and truck looks really smart! What have you used to replace the fuse block / dynamo thingy ma bobby?

[RussLCV]

its a large fuse box with an insulated back plate that's all as the car has an alternator
