A few pics of the 110 as it stands. I can't do a full-blown restoration as I use the thing daily but will try and keep updating as I go.

Have done a few odd bits this weekend, like removal and prep of side steps and rear frame - sorry the pics are not in any order as I don't have the facility to upload from a website!

Had a good poke about the chassis and apart from one small hole it is quite solid. The question is weather to coat it in some form of paint - I have been told that MOT testers don't like it if you do - any thoughts? I was thinking of good-old red oxide?
 
Nowt to do with mot testers, hammerite paint or similar and wayoiled over the top.
 
looks good keeping as a pick up ?im gonna waxoyl inside and scutchs the outside hopefully if it looks decent they wont poke around too much lol
 
Yes, want to extend the cab though, but sourcing a double cab roof is proving to be hard.
Will probably red oxide the chassis to start with

I prefer painting the chassis just after MOT time so as to prevent any issues arising.

I think your rear tow pin could do with shortening a bit :D
 
Yes, its not the correct bit - I lent it to someone and they lost the damn thing!
 
Its a one of these:

Makes it all the better.

Is that an ex military landy or ex utilities? I keep thinking about fitting lockers to the sides of mine.

Have ye seen the prices of em £120 + they go for on fleabay. :eek:
 
Not sure of it's history and the side locker had been retro-fitted very badly by the previous owner - the 'ole what the door frame fits into was too big and it kept falling out.
You also opened the door (or it fell out) to reveal absolutely nothing! I have done a quick repair job and built a storage box for strops, ropes etc.
